Higher derivative corrections to Lifshitz backgrounds

We explore the effect of curvature-square corrections on Lifshitz solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton system. After exhibiting the renormalized Lifshitz scaling solution to the system with parameterized R-2 corrections, we turn to a toy model with coupling g(phi)C-mu nu rho sigma(2) and demonstrate that such a term can both stabilize the dilaton and resolve the Lifshitz horizon to AdS(2) x R-2. As an example, we construct numerical flows from AdS(4) in the UV to an intermediate Lifshitz region and then to AdS(2) x R-2 in the deep IR.
