LEPP Theory Seminar: Eric Perlmutter, Caltech

Physical Sciences Building, 401

Modern Explorations of Double-Trace Deformations

 Large N conformal field theories often admit unitary renormalization group flows triggered by "double-trace" deformations of the action. We compute the effects of such flows on operator dimensions and correlations, and explore their utility in generating stable non-supersymmetric AdS vacua within supergravity. The latter includes special focus on deformations of the ABJM conformal field theories dual to M-theory.
