Shear Viscosity from AdS Born-Infeld Black Holes

Abstract

We calculate the shear viscosity in the frame of AdS/CFT correspondence for the field theory with a gravity dual of Einstein-Born-Infeld gravity. We find that the ratio of $\eta /s$ is still the conjectured universal value $1/4\pi$ at least up to the first order of the Born-Infeld parameter $1/b^2$.
