Stability of Horava-Lifshitz Black Holes in the Context of AdS/CFT

Understand

The anti--de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence is a powerful tool that promises to provide new insights toward a full understanding of field theories under extreme conditions, including but not limited to quark-gluon plasma, Fermi liquid and superconductor.

• In many such applications, one typically models the field theory with asymptotically AdS black holes.
• These black holes are subjected to stringy effects that might render them unstable.
• Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity, in which space and time undergo different transformations, has attracted attentions due to its power-counting renormalizability.
