equations are then consistent, giving the conformal factor e 2 f$_{λ}$ = r 2 = Ω. The behavior of Ω is then determined by the ODE and the order of the expansion of the beta functions. Apart from the Minkowski spacetime, we have found another soliton solution to the flow at even orders N = 2 , 4. For this solution Ω = α ′ k $^{2}$ξ$_{N}$ and from Eq.(33) we see that R = − 20 /α ′ ξ$_{N}$ . Thus the spacetime has curvature inversely proportional to α ′ . In the context of RG flows, the existence of a soliton is a non-perturbative effect. Smaller values of α ′ correspond to larger curvatures and hence the perturbative expansion of the β functions in Eq.(2) fails. It is for this reason that the solutions obtained at various orders show markedly different behaviour close to the fixed point value of ¯ Ω = ξ$_{N}$ . In regions of low curvature, we have evaluated the higher order corrections to the RG flows–these corrections are small as long as we are in the perturbative RG flow domain. However, they are useful in quantifying the RG flow behaviour at successive higher orders. Moreover, the singularities and solitons which appear in the geometric flow analysis can serve as pointers to the precise domain in which the σ -model RG flow equations are valid. In a way, we have shown that the bulk spacetime used in the warped braneworld models naturally arise as solutions of the flow equations (atleast upto fourth order). Though this result assumes separability of the metric functions we are able to demonstrate the uniqueness of AdS spacetime as a solution of the flow equations. The task of looking at non–separable situations, which at the lowest order was discussed in our previous article [16] remains and will be taken up in future. Further, the evolution of geometric quantities such as the Riemann, Ricci scalar in the context of higher order flows will be an exercise worth pursuing–the primary motivation 23 It is then natural to conjecture that the conformally AdS metric Eq.(26) will solve the flow upto any order N . Note that using only the leading order we get f ′ σ = k . Also since curvature is a function of derivatives of the metric, the β -function at any order N will look like β ( N ) µµ ∼ e 2 $^{f}$A ( N $^{)}$( k ) r 2 N and β ( N ) σσ ∼ B ( N $^{)}$( k ) r 2( N$_{−}$ $_{1)}$, where A and B are functions of k , just like in Eq.(35). If A ( N $^{)}$( k ) = B ( N $^{)}$( k ) then we can write e 2 f = r 2 = Ω and thus get the conformally AdS solution. Then the ODE for Ω will also be of the form of Eq.(27) for any order N . Thus we conjecture that both Prop.IV.1 and Prop.IV.2 hold for any order N . Since explicit forms of the β$_{ij}$ are not known for N > 4, we cannot explicitly check these conjectures presently. It will be interesting to look for a proof using general principles.
