Holography and the speed of sound at high temperatures
Paul M. Hohler, Mikhail A. Stephanov
We show that in a general class of strongly interacting theories at high temperatures the speed of sound approaches the conformal value c_s^2=1/3 universally from_below_. This clas…

Relativistic viscous hydrodynamics, conformal invariance, and holography
R. Baier, P. Romatschke, D. T. Son +2
We consider second-order viscous hydrodynamics in conformal field theories at finite temperature. We show that conformal invariance imposes powerful constraints on the form of the…
