Abstract: The use of gauged calN=8 supergravity as a tool in studying the AdS/CFT correspondence for calN=4 Yang-Mills theory is reviewed. The supergravity potential implies a non-trivial, supersymmetric IR fixed point, and the flow to this fixed point is described in terms of a supergravity kink. The results agree perfectly with earlier, independent field theory results. A supergravity inspired c-function, and corresponding c-theorem is discussed for general flows, and the simplified form for supersymmetric flows is also given. Flows along the Coulomb branch of the Yang-Mills theory are also described from the five-dimensional perspective.
