Title:
Lifshitz Anisotropy from Boundary Conditions
Speaker:
Abstract:
Gravitational theories with Lifshitz-type of scaling usually require some exotic aspect in the bulk: either a non-relativistic theory, a higher derivative theory, or some exotic matter content. In my talk I review the alternative possibility of inducing Lifshitz-scaling through boundary conditions and give several examples: higher spin theories, lower spin theories and pure Einstein gravity in three dimensions. For the last option I will then argue that the singular limit of Lifshitz exponent z=0 is relevant for near horizon physics and soft Heisenberg hair.
