On the Holographic Renormalization Group
read the original abstract
We propose a direct correspondence between the classical evolution equations of 5-d supergravity and the renormalization group (RG) equations of the dual 4-d large $N$ gauge theory. Using standard Hamilton-Jacobi theory, we derive first order flow equations for the classical supergravity action $S$, that take the usual form of the Callan-Symanzik equations, including the corrections due to the conformal anomaly. This result gives direct support for the identification of $S$ with the quantum effective action of the gauge theory. In addition we find interesting new relations between the beta-functions and the counterterms that affect the 4-d cosmological and Newton constant.

Holographic Banners
Holographic banners are four-argument on-shell actions that map thermofield double boundary states to future interior semiclassical states and yield BKL mixing timescales in AdS black holes.

Covariant unification of holographic c-functions
A new covariant c-function is defined from extrinsic curvature of codimension-two bulk slices, unifying prior foliation-based definitions and exhibiting expected monotonic behavior in conformal, confining, and mixed-g...

Holographic duality from a four-fermion interaction: emergent AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$, D-branes, and Einstein gravity
The bosonic AdS3/CFT2 duality emerges from the Gross-Neveu model via higher-spin composites and fluctuations in competing spin-0 and spin-1 condensates that define the radial bulk coordinate.

Large-$N$ Carrollian Thermodynamics from AdS Black-Hole Phase-Space Contractions
Finite Carrollian limit of extended AdS first law is reinterpreted as double-scaled large-N low-temperature holographic ensemble with finite products, new boundary stress tensor, and celestial correlator representations.

GR from RG, $2d$ Example: JT-Gravity Induced from Renormalization Group Flow
Holographic RG flow on a 2D CFT induces JT gravity with bulk lapse as dilaton and recovers TTbar deformation in the Fefferman-Graham limit.

Birth of Inflationary Universes via Wineglass Wormholes and their No-Boundary Relatives
Wineglass wormholes with a local maximum in the scale factor mediate the birth of inflationary spacetimes and split into background plus no-boundary geometries at small axionic or magnetic charge.

GR from RG: Gravity Is Induced From Renormalization Group Flow In The Infrared
Holographic RG flow induces gravity by evolving boundary conditions from rigid Dirichlet to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann, generating an Einstein-Hilbert term and evading the Weinberg-Witten theorem.

Holographic renormalization and the variational problem for mixed boundary conditions via a solution-dependent superpotential-like function
For m²L²=-2 in AdS black holes with integrable mixed boundary conditions, the cubic coefficient in the near-boundary expansion of the solution-dependent W(φ) is fixed by the boundary deformation to ensure a well-posed...

The thermal backreaction of a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime. II. Spectrum enhancement and holography
Thermal backreaction modifies de Sitter geometry so that late-exiting modes produce a blue-tilted spectrum n_S ~ 2 while the boundary theory matches the 3d Sp(N) model flow.
