Abstract

We construct two interpolating solutions in type II string theory which interpolate between an AdS5_5 in the UV and a hyperscaling violating three (spatial) dimensional Lifshitz space-time in the IR. The first solution is non-supersymmetric and is obtained from a known intersecting non-supersymmetric D3-brane with chargeless D0-brane solution of type IIB string theory, by restricting some parameters characterizing the solution and going to a new coordinate. In the IR the dilaton is non-constant in general and the metric is three (spatial) dimensional hyperscaling violating Lifshitz with dynamical critical exponent z=(3+3γ)/(3γ)z=(3+3\gamma)/(3-\gamma) and hyperscaling violation exponent θ=12/(3γ)\theta = 12/(3-\gamma), where γ\gamma is a real parameter and can take continuous values from 1-1 to +1+1. At the two extreme values, i.e., for γ=±1\gamma = \pm 1, the dilaton is constant. The second solution is supersymmetric and is obtained from the known F-D2 bound state solution of type IIA string theory by zooming into a particular region of space. In the UV, the proper description is given in a T-dual frame which is AdS5_5, whereas in the IR, it gives a three dimensional hyperscaling violating Lifshitz with z=3z=3 and θ=2=d1\theta=2=d-1.
