A Strongly Coupled Anisotropic Fluid From Dilaton Driven Holography

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a system consisting of $5$ dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant coupled to a massless scalar, the dilaton, and constructed a black brane solution which arises when the system satisfies linearly varying boundary conditions in the asymptotically $AdS_5$ region.
Journal ArticleDOI

An entropy current and the second law in higher derivative theories of gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, a proof of the second law of thermodynamics in an arbitrary diffeomorphism invariant theory of gravity working within the approximation of linearized dynamical fluctuations around stationary black holes is presented.

AdS from Optimization of Path-Integrals in CFTs

TL;DR: A new optimization procedure for Euclidean path integrals which compute wave functionals in CFTs is introduced and it is suggested that the optimization prescription is analogous to the estimation of computational complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a second law for Lovelock theories

TL;DR: In this article, an entropy function for the family of Lovelock theories, treating the higher derivative terms as perturbations to the Einstein-Hilbert theory, was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface transport in plasma-balls

TL;DR: In this article, the surface transport properties of stationary localized configurations of relativistic fluids to the first two non-trivial orders in a derivative expansion were studied, and it was shown that a generic localized configuration is characterized by 3 additional surface transport coefficients, one of which may be identified with the surface modulus of rigidity.
