Hyperscaling-violating Lifshitz Solutions in Cubic Gravity

Abstract

Considering the cubic theory of gravity which has been constructed in \cite{myers}, we study the existence of Lifshitz and hyper scaling violating Lifshitz solutions. We firstly extend the black hole solution of \cite{myers} and find that such extended solutions are valid for any value of dynamical exponent $z$. Next, we examine the existence of the AdS black hole solution with non-zero hyperscaling-violating exponent $\theta$ and general dynamical exponent $z$. We find that the solutions do exist only for $\theta=0,3$ in 4 dimension and $\theta=0,4$ in 5 dimension. In particular, when $\theta=3(4)$ in $4(5)$ dimension, we have Lifshitz and Schwarzschild-AdS black hole solution solution for $z=\{0,1\}$.
