Abstract
We describe black holes in d+3 dimensions, whose thermodynamic properties correspond to those of a scale-invariant nonrelativistic (d+1)-dimensional quantum system with a dynamical exponent z=2. The gravitational model involves a massive Abelian vector field and a scalar field, in addition to the metric. The energy per particle in the dual theory is |μ|d/(d+2) at any temperature (μ is the chemical potential). The ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density is ℏ/4π in any dimension d≥2.
