Description
Strongly coupled anisotropic systems have significantly richer structure than the isotropic ones. This is especially evident in the transport coefficients and in the phase diagram of anisotropic theories. We discuss such holographic theories, we comment on their observables and demonstrate how the isotropic universal relations are violated in presence of anisotropies. We also propose c-function candidates for the anisotropic RG flows and show that their monotonicity is not any more guaranteed by the energy conditions but depends on the theory characteristics.
