Journal ArticleDOI
Viscosity in strongly interacting quantum field theories from black hole physics
TL;DR: It is provided evidence that this value of shear viscosity to volume density of entropy may serve as a lower bound for a wide class of systems, thus suggesting that black hole horizons are dual to the most ideal fluids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear viscosity of strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the shear viscosity of the finite-temperature N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large N, strong-coupling regime with the absorption cross section of low-energy gravitons by a near-extremal black three-brane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes
TL;DR: Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems as discussed by the authors, and they serve as an important tool for determining the near-equilibrium properties of strongly coupled quantum field theories, such as viscosity, conductivity and diffusion constants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minkowski-space correlators in AdS/CFT correspondence: recipe and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a prescription for computing Minkowski-space correlators from AdS/CFT correspondence was formulated and shown to give the correct retarded propagators at zero temperature in four dimensions, as well as at finite temperature in two dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
From AdS/CFT correspondence to hydrodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the correlation functions of R-charge currents and components of the stress energy tensor in the strongly coupled large-N finite-temperature = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory were computed.
