Forced fluid dynamics from gravity in arbitrary dimensions

Forced fluid dynamics from gravity in arbitrary dimensions

We consider long wavelength solutions to the Einstein-dilaton system with negative cosmological constant which are dual, under the AdS/CFT correspondence, to solutions of the conformal relativistic Navier-Stokes equations with a dilaton-dependent forcing term. Certain forced fluid flows are known to exhibit turbulence; holographic duals of forced fluid dynamics are therefore of particular inter...

Dual Linearised Gravity in Arbitrary Dimensions

We construct dual formulation of linearised gravity in first order tetrad formalism in arbitrary dimensions within the path integral framework following the standard duality algorithm making use of the global shift symmetry of the tetrad field. The dual partition function is in terms of the (mixed symmetric) tensor field Φ[ν1ν2···νd−3]ν in frame-like formulation. We obtain in d-dimensions the d...

On Subextensive Corrections to Fluid Dynamics from Gravity

We use the fluid-gravity correspondence to compute subextensive corrections, proportional to the shear tensor, to the energy-momentum tensor of fluids on threespheres. The dual configurations we consider are charged black hole solutions of N = 2 gauged supergravity theories in five dimensions.

The Asymptotic Dynamics of de Sitter Gravity in three Dimensions

We show that the asymptotic dynamics of three-dimensional gravity with positive cosmological constant is described by Euclidean Liouville theory. This provides an explicit example of a correspondence between de Sitter gravity and conformal field theories. In the case at hand, this correspondence is established by formulating Einstein gravity with positive cosmological constant in three dimensio...
