Gravity dual for cyclic renormalization group flow without conformal invariance

Nakayama, Yu

Abstract

We construct a gravity dual for scale invariant but non-conformal field theories with a cyclic renormalization group flow. A slight modification of our construction gives a gravity dual of discretely scale invariant field theories. The underlying gravitational theory breaks the null energy condition.
