Abstract

We construct 1/4 BPS, threshold F-Dpp bound states (with 0p50\leq p \leq 5) of type II string theories by applying S- and T-dualities to the D1-D5 system of type IIB string theory. These are different from the known 1/2 BPS, non-threshold F-Dpp bound states. The near horizon limits of these solutions yield Lifshitz-like space-times with varying dynamical critical exponent z=2(5p)/(4p)z=2(5-p)/(4-p), for p4p\neq 4, along with the hyperscaling violation exponent θ=p(p2)/(4p)\theta = p - (p-2)/(4-p), showing how Lifshitz-like space-time can be obtained from string theory. The dilatons are in general non-constant (except for p=1p=1). We discuss the holographic RG flows and the phase structures of these solutions. For p=4p=4, we do not get a Lifshitz-like space-time, but the near horizon limit in this case leads to an AdS2_2 space.
