89 Field theories in D spacetime dimensions are characterized by couplings g which obey the renormalization group equation u dg du = β(g) where u is the energy scale. The RG equation is local in energy scale, i.e. the RHS does not depend upon u. Key idea: Implement u as an extra dimension, and map to a local theory in D+1 dimensions.

92 At the RG fixed point, β(g) = 0, the D dimensional field theory is invariant under the scale transformation x µ x µ /b, u bu This is an invariance of the metric of the theory in D + 1 dimensions. The unique solution is ds 2 = u L 2 dx µ dx µ + L 2 du2 u 2. Or, using the length scale z = L 2 /u ds 2 = L 2 dxµ dx µ + dz 2 z 2. This is the space AdS D+1, and L is the AdS radius.
