Abstract

We briefly review recent applications of holographic renormalization group flow equations in a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We especially focus on presenting a few examples typically used in the holographic description of the QGP. We study the influence of the chemical potential on the holographic β-function in these examples.
