Holographic two-point functions in a disorder system

Abstract

We study the holographic dual of two-point correlation functions for nonconformal field theories. We first take into account a Lifshitz geometry as the dual of a Lifshitz field theory which may appear at a critical or IR fixed point. We explicitly show the holographic relation between a Lifshitz geometry and a Lifshitz field theory by calculating two-point correlators and equation of state parameter on both sides. We also investigate a disorder deformation, which allows a UV conformal field theory to flow into a new IR Lifshitz field theory. In this deformed theory, we investigate an anomalous dimension representing the change of an operator's scaling dimension along the RG flow.
