Abstract

We analyze the worldline holographic framework for fermions. Worldline holography is based on the observation that in the worldline approach to quantum field theory, sources of a quantum field theory over Mink4 naturally form a field theory over AdS5 to all orders in the elementary fields and in the sources. Schwinger’s proper time of the worldline formalism automatically appears with the physical four spacetime dimensions in an AdS5 geometry. The worldline holographic effective action in general and the proper-time profiles of the sources in particular solve a renormalization group equation. By taking into account sources up to spin one, we reconstruct seminal holographic models. Considering spin two confirms AdS5 as a consistent background.
