The holographic renormalization of these models is considered as required by a phenomenological approach that takes the $\\beta$-functions of the models as the only input. This approach is done taking the dilaton as the coordinate orthogonal to the border. This choice greatly simplifies the analysis and gives a geometrical interpretation for the fixed points of the renormalization group flow. Examples are constructed that present asymptotic freedom, confinement of static quarks, either with vanishing or non-vanishing gluon condensate $G_{2}$. The latter models require an extension of the dilaton-gravity models already considered in the literature. This extension is also determined by the only input, i.e. the $\\beta$-function. In addition the restrictions imposed by the trace anomaly equation are studied. In doing so a holographic derivation of this equation is presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-10-22T13:36:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.38.Aw", "11.15.Tk", "11.25.Tq", "11.15.Pg" ], "keywords": [ "pure gauge qcd vacuum", "holography", "renormalization group flow", "holographic renormalization", "holographic models" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1142/S0217751X14501310", "journal": "International Journal of Modern Physics A", "year": 2014, "month": "Sep", "volume": 29, "number": 24, "pages": 1450131 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1261789, "adsabs": "2014IJMPA..2950131T" } } }
