Weyl double copy in Lifshitz spacetimes

Abstract

Lifshitz black hole solutions pose particular challenges for reconciling the two main formulations of the classical double copy: the Kerr-Schild double copy and the Weyl double copy. Recent work has suggested that consistency between the two can be restored, in certain cases, only by adopting a regularization prescription in the Weyl double copy. In this paper, we test this prescription on three examples from the literature, each with a distinct novel feature, and show that the prescription remains valid in all cases.
