We consider holography for d-dimensional scale invariant but non-Lorentz invariant field theories, which do not admit the full Schrodinger symmetry group. We find new realizations of the corresponding (d+1)-dimensional gravity duals,…
We investigate the thermodynamic behaviour of asymptotically anti de Sitter black holes in generalized quasi-topological gravity containing terms both cubic and quartic in the curvature. We investigate the general conditions required for…
Considering the results from Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz (HL) theory, a more precise relation between the number of bits and area in the holographic system is proposed. With this corrected relation and Debye model, two modified Friedmann equations…
A Lifshitz point is described by a quantum field theory with anisotropic scale invariance (but not Galilean invariance). In arXiv:0808.1725, gravity duals were conjectured for such theories. We construct analytically a black hole which…
By using the canonical Hamiltonian method, we obtain the mass and entropy of the black holes with general dynamical coupling constant $\lambda$ in Ho\v{r} ava-Lifshitz Gravity. Regardless of whether the horizon is sphere, plane or…
In this work we use a general covariance breaking method to obtain a class of topological charged black holes whose background geometry asymptotically approaches Lifshitz spacetimes. We discuss how this mechanism affects Einstein's…
We study a gravity theory where a scalar field with potential, beyond its minimal coupling, is also coupled through a non-minimal derivative coupling with the torsion scalar which is the teleparallel equivalent of Einstein gravity. This…
In three spacetime dimensions, general relativity becomes a topological field theory, whose dynamics can be largely described holographically by a two-dimensional conformal field theory at the ``boundary'' of spacetime. I review what is…
Within the framework of extended black hole thermodynamics, where the cosmological constant acts as the thermodynamic pressure and its conjugate as the thermodynamic volume, we analyze the phase structure and thermodynamic geometry of the…
Recently a renormalizable model of gravity has been proposed, which might be a UV completion of General Relativity (GR) or its infra-red modification, probably with a strongly coupled scalar mode. Although the generic vacuum of the theory…
A holographic model of a quantum critical theory at a finite but low temperature, and finite density is studied. The model exhibits non-relativistic z=2 Schr\"odinger symmetry and is realized by the Anti-de-Sitter-Schwarzschild black hole…
We explore the holographic proposal involving spacetimes with linear dilaton asymptotics in three dimensions from a gravity perspective. The holographic dual shares some properties with a symmetric product conformal field theory deformed by…
We argue that Horava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity provides the minimal holographic dual for Lifshitz-type field theories with anisotropic scaling and dynamical exponent z. First we show that Lifshitz spacetimes are vacuum solutions of HL gravity,…
In this paper, we compute departures in the black hole thermodynamics induced by either geometric or topological corrections to general relativity. Specifically, we analyze the spherically symmetric spacetime solutions of two modified…
We present a candidate quantum field theory of gravity with dynamical critical exponent equal to z=3 in the UV. (As in condensed matter systems, z measures the degree of anisotropy between space and time.) This theory, which at short…
A dynamical theory of hypersurface deformations is presented. It is shown that a (n+1)-dimensional space-time can be always foliated by pure deformations, governed by a non zero Hamiltonian. Quantum deformations states are defined by…
We study critical dynamics through time evolution of quantum field theories driven to a Lifshitz-like fixed point, with $z>1$, under relevant deformations. The deformations we consider are fast smooth quantum quenches, namely when the…
We study a generalisation of thermodynamic geometry to degenerate quantum ground states at zero temperatures exemplified by charged extremal black holes in type II string theories. Several examples of extremal charged black holes with non…
In the Horava-Lifshitz theory of quantum gravity, two conditions -- detailed balance and projectability -- are usually assumed. The breaking of projectability simplifies the theory, but it leads to serious problems with the theory. The…
We present the analytic Lifshitz solutions for a scalar field model minimally coupled with the abelian gauge field in $N$ dimensions. We also consider the presence of cosmological constant $\Lambda$. The Lifshitz parameter $z$ appearing in…
