Description
Motivated in finding a non-relativistic counterpart of the conjectured duality between the Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity model and the quantum mechanical Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model we consider a two dimensional dilaton model with Lifshitz-like symmetries. We show how this dilaton model arises from a dimensional reduction of a Lifshitz-like black hole. We derive a one dimensional Lifshitz boundary action which only retains U(1) symmetries (as opposed to the SL(2,R) symmetries of the Schwarzian action) and use this boundary action to compute logarithmic corrections to the entropy of the Lifshitz-like black hole.
