A zoo of deformed Jackiw-Teitelboim models near large dimensional black holes

Abstract

Abstract We consider a charged Lifshitz black hole in the large transverse dimension limit. In this setup, the dynamics near the black hole horizon are shown to be effectively governed by a family of two-dimensional models of dilaton gravity depending on the ratio of the dynamical parameter characterizing the black hole and the dimension of spacetime. This family includes the Callan-Giddings-Harvey-Strominger (CGHS) and Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) models and their charged equivalents. This family also contains classes of asymptotically anti-de Sitter models beyond JT, characterized by a running Ricci scalar, with the option of adding charge. Finally, we argue that specific non-minimally coupled probe scalars in the parent Lifshitz model become minimally coupled scalars in the two-dimensional theory, which is relevant for understanding semi-classical corrections in such models.
