N2 - We obtain the Lifshitz UV completion in a specific model for z=2 Lifshitz geometries. We use a vielbein formalism which enables identification of all the sources as leading components of well-chosen bulk fields. We show that the geometry induced from the bulk onto the boundary is a novel extension of Newton-Cartan geometry with a specific torsion tensor. We explicitly compute all the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) including the boundary stress-energy tensor and their Ward identities. After using local symmetries or Ward identities the system exhibits 6+6 sources and VEVs. The Fefferman-Graham expansion exhibits, however, an additional free function which is related to an irrelevant operator whose source has been turned off. We show that this is related to a second UV completion.
