Thermodynamics of black branes in asymptotically Lifshitz spacetimes
Jul, 2009Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
Recently, a class of gravitational backgrounds in 3+1 dimensions have been proposed as holographic duals to a Lifshitz theory describing critical phenomena in 2+1 dimensions with critical exponent . We continue our earlier work \cite{Bertoldi:2009vn}, exploring the thermodynamic properties of the 'black brane' solutions with horizon topology . We find that the black branes satisfy the relation where is the energy density, is the temperature, and is the entropy density. This matches the expected behavior for a 2+1 dimensional theory with a scaling symmetry , .Note:
