abstract
We present a IIB supergravity solution dual to a spatially anisotropic finite-temperature N=4 super Yang-Mills plasma. The solution is static, possesses an anisotropic horizon, and is completely regular. The full geometry can be viewed as a renormalization group flow from an AdS geometry in the ultraviolet to a Lifshitz-like geometry in the infrared. The anisotropy can be equivalently understood as resulting from a position-dependent theta-term or from a non-zero number density of dissolved D7-branes. The holographic stress tensor is conserved and anisotropic. The presence of a conformal anomaly plays an important role in the thermodynamics of the system. We construct the phase diagram, which exhibits homogeneous and inhomogeneous (i.e. mixed) phases, and comment on similarities with QCD at finite baryon density. At low densities the homogeneous phase displays several instabilities reminiscent of instabilities of weakly coupled plasmas.

In an anisotropic holographic model of 3D QCD, hadronic systems become unstable when anisotropy exceeds the confinement energy scale, with dragging terms essential for transport properties.
Generalizes the holographic prescription for fermionic retarded Green's functions to anisotropic geometries and numerically evaluates direction-dependent features, instabilities, Landau levels, and a pseudogap in three specific models.
