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, engineered with a variety of matter Lagrangians, and their finite temperature generalizations. The thermodynamic properties of the finite temperature backgrounds are precisely those expected for anisotropic, scale invariant field theories. The brane and string theory realizations of such backgrounds are briefly discussed, along with their holographic interpretation in terms of marginal but non Lorentz invariant deformations of conformal field theories. We initiate discussion of holographic renormalization in these backgrounds, and note that such systematic renormalization is necessary to obtain the correct behavior of correlation functions.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A parameterized family of non-relativistic supergravity theories with torsion is obtained in three dimensions from the semigroup expansion of an N=2 supersymmetric Mielke-Baekler algebra.

    Exact 5D rotating Lifshitz black holes with electric and axionic charges were found and used to show that rotation weakens holographic superconductivity while higher z enhances it.

  3. Minisuperspace Double Copy in Lifshitz Spacetimes

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A radial operator extracted from the reduced gravitational dynamics in Lifshitz spacetimes directly reproduces the Maxwell operator for the temporal single-copy field without using equations of motion.
