Universal holographic hydrodynamics at finite coupling
Alex Buchel, Robert C. Myers, Miguel F. Paulos +1
We consider thermal plasmas in a large class of superconformal gauge theories described by a holographic dual geometry of the form . In particular, we demonstrate…
Quark Soup al dente: Applied Superstring Theory
R. C. Myers, S. E. Vazquez
We discuss the application of the AdS/CFT correspondence to possibly gain new physical insights for the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. This article provides an informal summa…
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…
On the gravitational stability of D1-D5-P black holes
Vitor Cardoso, Oscar J. C. Dias, Robert C. Myers
We examine the stability of the nonextremal D1-D5-P black hole solutions. In particular, we look for the appearance of a superradiant instability for the spinning black holes but w…
Multi-black hole configurations on the cylinder
Oscar J. C. Dias, Troels Harmark, Robert C. Myers +1
We construct the metric of new multi-black hole configurations on a d-dimensional cylinder R^{d-1} x S^1, in the limit of small total mass (or equivalently in the limit of a large…
Brane world sum rules and the AdS soliton
Frederic Leblond, Robert C. Myers, David J. Winters
We discuss brane world sum rules for compactifications involving an arbitrary number of spacetime dimensions. One of the most striking results derived from such consistency conditi…
