Shear viscosity of a highly excited string and the black hole membrane paradigm
arXiv:1010.5380 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.83.026002
Abstract
Black hole membrane paradigm states that a certain viscous membrane seems to be sitting on a stretched horizon of a black hole from the viewpoint of a distant observer. We show that the shear viscosity of the fictitious membrane can be reproduced by a highly excited string covering the stretched horizon except for a numerical coefficient.
