  We discuss two classes of non-supersymmetric interpolating solutions in N=2,
D=4 gauged supergravity, that flow from either a z=2 Lifshitz geometry or a
conformal AdS background to the near-horizon geometry of a Nernst brane. We
obtain these solutions by constructing a z=2 supersymmetric Lifshitz solution
in the STU model from a first-order rewriting of the action, then lifting it up
to a five-dimensional background and subsequently modifying this
five-dimensional solution by a two-parameter family of deformations. Under
reduction, these give four-dimensional non-supersymmetric Nernst brane
solutions. This is a step towards resolving the Lifshitz tidal force
singularity in the context of N=2 gauged supergravity and suggests an approach
to encoding the Nernst brane in terms of the Schroedinger symmetry group of the
holographically dual field theory.
