Flows to Schrodinger Geometries

Abstract

We construct RG flow solutions interpolating AdS and Schrodinger geometries in Abelian Higgs models obtained from consistent reductions of type IIB supergravity and M-theory. We find that z=2 Schrodinger geometries can be realized at the minima of scalar potentials of these models, where a scalar charged under U(1) gauge symmetry obtains a nonzero vacuum expectation value. The RG flows are induced by an operator deformation of the dual CFT. The flows are captured by fake superpotentials of the theories.
