Beyond eta/s = 1/4pi
Alex Buchel, Robert C. Myers, Aninda Sinha
We use low-energy effective description of gauge theory/string theory duality to argue that the Kovtun-Son-Starinets viscosity bound is generically violated in superconformal gauge…
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…
Quantum corrections to eta/s
Robert C. Myers, Miguel F. Paulos, Aninda Sinha
We consider corrections to the ratio of the shear viscosity to the entropy density in strongly coupled nonabelian plasmas using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, higher de…
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…
