An analytic Lifshitz black hole

A Lifshitz point is described by a quantum field theory with anisotropic scale invariance (but not Galilean invariance). In 8, gravity duals were conjectured for such theories. We construct analytically a black hole that asymptotes to a vacuum Lifshitz solution; this black hole solves the equations...
