AB  - Black hole solutions of type IIB supergravity have been previously constructedthat describe the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma with an anisotropic spatial deformation.The zero temperature limit of these black holes approach a Lifshitz-like scalingsolution in the infrared. We show that these black holes become unstable at low temperatureand we construct a new class of black hole solutions which are thermodynamicallypreferred. The phase transition is third order and incorporates a spontaneous breaking ofthe SO(6) global symmetry down to SO(4) × SO(2). The critical exponents for the phasetransition are given by (α, β, γ, δ) = (−1, 1, 1, 2) which differ from the standard mean-fieldexponents usually seen in holography. At low temperatures the black holes approach anovel kind of scaling behaviour in the far IR with spatial anisotropy and hyperscaling violation.We show that the new ground states are thermal insulators in the direction of theanisotropy.
