Local renormalization group functions from quantum renormalization group and holographic bulk locality
Abstract
The bulk locality in the constructive holographic renormalization group requires miraculous cancellations among various local renormalization group functions. The cancellation is not only from the properties of the spectrum but from more detailed aspects of operator product expansions in relation to conformal anomaly. It is remarkable that one-loop computation of the universal local renormalization group functions in the weakly coupled limit of the N=4 super Yang-Mills theory fulfils the necessary condition for the cancellation in the strongly coupled limit in its SL(2,Z) duality invariant form. From the consistency between the quantum renormalization group and the holographic renormalization group, we determine some unexplored local renormalization group functions (e.g. diffusive term in the beta function for the gauge coupling constant) in the strongly coupled limit of the planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory.
