Viscosity Bound and Causality Violation
Mauro Brigante, Hong Liu, Robert C. Myers +2
In recent work we showed that, for a class of conformal field theories (CFT) with Gauss-Bonnet gravity dual, the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio, , could violate the…
Viscosity Bound Violation in Higher Derivative Gravity
Mauro Brigante, Hong Liu, Robert C. Myers +2
Motivated by the vast string landscape, we consider the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio in conformal field theories dual to Einstein gravity with curvature square correcti…
Hagedorn divergences and tachyon potential
Mauro Brigante, Guido Festuccia, Hong Liu
We consider the critical behavior for a string theory near the Hagedorn temperature. We use the factorization of the worldsheet to isolate the Hagedorn divergences at all genera. W…
Inheritance principle and Non-renormalization theorems at finite temperature
Mauro Brigante, Guido Festuccia, Hong Liu
We present a general proof of an ``inheritance principle'' satisfied by a weakly coupled SU(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter on a class of compact manifolds (like ). In the…
The Asymptotic Dynamics of two-dimensional (anti-)de Sitter Gravity
Mauro Brigante, Sergio Cacciatori, Dietmar Klemm +1
We show that the asymptotic dynamics of two-dimensional de Sitter or anti-de Sitter Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity is described by a generalized two-particle Calogero-Sutherland mo…
