Gauge/Gravity duality with Anisotropies

The anisotropic theories have attracted attention in the context of gauge/gravity duality. We start by motivating the studies and presenting examples of such theories. Then we discuss the properties of the observables related to heavy quark probes, working mostly in the general framework without focusing on a particular theory. Using the knowledge we have obtained from the previous observables we continue to study a striking new feature of the anisotropic theories: the violation of the known universal relations that have been found to hold in the isotropic gauge/gravity dualities. Finally, we mention the possibility of the existence of chaotic observables in these theories.
