New Massive Gravity Domain Walls

Abstract

The properties of the asymptotic $Ad{S}_3$ space-times representing flat domain walls (DW's) solutions of the New Massive 3D Gravity with scalar matter are studied. Our analysis is based on $I^{st}$ order BPS-like equations involving an appropriate superpotential. The Brown-York boundary stress-tensor is used for the calculation of DW's tensions as well as of the $CF{T}_2$'s central charges. The holographic renormalization group flows and the phase transitions in specific deformed $CF{T}_2$ dual to 3D massive gravity model with quadratic superpotential are discussed.
