Abstract
We investigate deformations of Gauss-Bonnet-Lifshitz holography in (n + 1) dimensional spacetime. Marginally relevant operators are dynamically generated by a momentum scale Λ ~ 0 and correspond to slightly deformed Gauss-Bonnet-Lifshitz spacetimes via a holographic picture. To admit (non-trivial) sub-leading orders of the asymptotic solution for the marginal mode, we find that the value of the dynamical critical exponent z is restricted by z = n − 1 − 2(n − 2)\( \widetilde{\alpha } \), where \( \widetilde{\alpha } \) is the (rescaled) Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant. The generic black hole solution, which is characterized by the horizon flux of the vector field and \( \widetilde{\alpha } \), is obtained in the bulk, and we explore its thermodynamic properties for various values of n and \( \widetilde{\alpha } \).
