Department Colloquium | A Geometric Description of Renormalization Group Flows
Henriette Elvang (U-M Physics)
Renormalization group flow is the technical term for how physics depends on the energy scale at which it is probed. Thinking of energy as an extra "coordinate", one can motivate a geometric description of such flows. This has a precise realization in the context of gauge-gravity duality. I will provide a pedagogical introduction to these ideas and demonstrate them in a particular example that offers an explicit precision-test of the geometric approach.
