Abstract: We study charged dilaton black branes in AdS4. Our system involves a dilaton phi coupled to a Maxwell field Fmuu with dilaton-dependent gauge coupling, 1overg2=f2(phi). First, we find the solutions for extremal and near extremal branes through a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. The near horizon geometries in the simplest cases, where f(phi)=ealphaphi, are Lifshitz-like, with a dynamical exponent z determined by alpha. The black hole thermodynamics varies in an interesting way with alpha, but in all cases the entropy is vanishing and the specific heat is positive for the near extremal solutions. We then compute conductivity in these backgrounds. We find that somewhat surprisingly, the AC conductivity vanishes like omega2 at T=0 independent of alpha. We also explore the charged black brane physics of several other classes of gauge-coupling functions f(phi). In addition to possible applications in AdS/CMT, the extremal black branes are of interest from the point of view of the attractor mechanism. The near horizon geometries for these branes are universal, independent of the asymptotic values of the moduli, and describe generic classes of endpoints for attractor flows which are different from AdS2imesR2.
