Viscosity bound and causality violation.
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, eta/s, could violate the conjectured Kovtun-Starinets-Son viscosity bound, eta/s > or = 1/4 pi. In this Letter we argue, in the context of the same model, that tuning eta/s below (16/25)(1/4 pi) induces microcausality violation in the CFT, re...
متن کاملThe viscosity bound in string theory
The ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density η/s of any material in nature has been conjectured to have a lower bound of 1/4π, the famous KSS bound. We examine string theory models for evidence in favour of and against this conjecture. We show that in a broad class of models quantum corrections yield values of η/s just above the KSS bound. However, incorporating matter fields in the fundamen...
متن کاملProof of a Universal Lower Bound on the Shear Viscosity to Entropy Density Ratio
It has been conjectured, on the basis of the gauge-gravity duality, that the ratio of the shear viscosity to the entropy density should be universally bounded from below by 1/4π in units of the Planck constant divided by the Boltzmann constant. Here, we prove the bound for any ghost-free extension of Einstein gravity and the field-theory dual thereof. Our proof is based on the fact that, for su...
متن کاملUniversal Bound on the Performanceof Lattice
We present a lower bound on the probability of symbol error for maximum-likelihood decoding of lattices and lattice codes on a Gaussian channel. The bound is tight for error probabilities and signal-to-noise ratios of practical interest, as opposed to most existing bounds that become tight asymptotically for high signal-to-noise ratios. The bound is also universal: it provides a limit on the hi...
متن کاملOn the violation of the holographic viscosity versus entropy KSS bound in non relativistic systems
A computation of the quotient of shear viscosity to entropy density, or KSS number η/s is performed, in the non-relativistic and classical regime, first in Chiral Perturbation Theory, and then in the SO(g + 1)/SO(g) Non-Linear Sigma Model in the large g limit. Both are field theories stemming from a renormalizable Sigma Model but in spite of that, we explicitly calculate how one undercomes the ...
