Holographic stress tensor of colored Lifshitz spacetimes and hairy black holes

Abstract

Abstract We compute the holographic stress tensor of colored Lifshitz spacetimes following the proposal by Ross-Saremi for gravity duals of non-relativistic theories. For a well-defined variational principle, we first construct a finite on-shell action for the Einstein-Yang-Mills model in four dimensions with Lifshitz spacetime as a solution. We then solve the linearised equations of motion and identify the modes that preserve the asymptotically Lifshitz condition. Employing these modes, we also show that the stress tensor is finite, obeying the scaling and the diffeomorphism Ward identities, i.e., conservations laws. As a final application, we evaluate the energy density and the spatial stress tensor of the previously found numerical black hole solutions with various dynamical exponents z. The alternative Smarr relation that has been used in Lifshitz black holes and the first law of thermodynamics are shown to hold without a global Yang-Mills charge, indicating the black holes in question are hairy.
