Holographic renormalization group with fermions and form fields. (English) Zbl 0972.83034
Summary: We find the Holographic Renormalization Group equations for the holographic duals of generic gravity theories coupled to form fields and spin-\(1/2\) fermions. Using Hamilton-Jacobi theory we discuss the structure of Ward identities, anomalies, and the recursive equations for determining the divergent terms of the generating functional. In particular, the Ward identity associated to diffeomorphism invariance contains an anomalous contribution that, however, can be solved either by a suitable counter term or by imposing a condition on the boundary fields. Consistency conditions for the existence of the dual arise, if one requires that a Callan-Symanzik type equation follows from the Hamiltonian constraint. Under mild assumptions we are able to find a class of solutions to the constraint equations. The structure of the fermionic phase space and the constraints are treated extensively for any dimension and signature.
