AdS gravity and field theories at fixpoints

picture we break supersymmetry by adding different types of BPS black holes. We argue, that this BPS black hole causes a non-trivial renormalization group flow in the worldvolume field theory and especially a regular horizon translates into a non-trivial IR fixpoint. For this interpretation we have to rewrite the

AdS

models into a flat space description with a linear dilaton vacuum. The dual models (linear dilaton and the

AdS

vacuum) can be seen as the different sides of a domain wall. We discuss the cases of

AdS_3

and

AdS_5

.
