AdS_7/CFT_6, Gauss-Bonnet Gravity, and Viscosity Bound
Jan de Boer, Manuela Kulaxizi, Andrei Parnachev
We study the relation between the causality and the positivity of energy bounds in Gauss-Bonnet gravity in AdS_7 background and find a precise agreement. Requiring the group veloci…

What is a chiral 2d CFT? And what does it have to do with extremal black holes?
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, M. M. Sheikh-Jabbari +1
The near horizon limit of the extremal BTZ black hole is a``self-dual orbifold'' of AdS_3. This geometry has a null circle on its boundary, and thus the dual field theory is a Disc…
