Holographic viscosity of fundamental matter.

چکیده
A holographic dual of a finite-temperature SU(Nc) gauge theory with a small number of flavors Nf< or =1/4pi. Given the known results for the entropy density, the contribution of the fundamental matter eta fund is therefore enhanced at strong 't Hooft coupling lambda; for example, eta fund approximately lambda NcNfT3 in four dimensions. Other transport coefficients are analogously enhanced. These results hold with or without a baryon number chemical potential.

Bulk viscosity in holographic Lifshitz hydrodynamics
We compute the bulk viscosity in holographic models dual to theories with Lifshitz scaling and/or hyperscaling violation, using a generalization of the bulk viscosity formula derived in arXiv:1103.1657 from the null focusing equation. We find that only a class of models with massive vector fields are truly Lifshitz scale invariant, and have a vanishing bulk viscosity. For other holographic mode...
متن کاملThe Viscosity Bound Conjecture and Hydrodynamics of M2-brane Theory at Finite Chemical Potential
Kovtun, Son and Starinets have conjectured that the viscosity to entropy density ratio η/s is always bounded from below by a universal multiple of ~ i.e., ~/(4πkB) for all forms of matter. Mysteriously, the proposed viscosity bound appears to be saturated in all computations done whenever a supergravity dual is available. We consider the near horizon limit of a stack of M2-branes in the grand c...
متن کامل3 Dimensional analysis of holographic photopolymers based memories.
One of the most interesting applications of photopolymers is as holographic recording materials for holographic memories. One of the basic requirements for this application is that the recording material thickness must be 500 microm or thicker. In recent years many 2-dimensional models have been proposed for the analysis of photopolymers. Good agreement between theoretical simulations and exper...
متن کاملViolation of the holographic viscosity bound in a strongly coupled anisotropic plasma.
We study the conductivity and shear viscosity tensors of a strongly coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills plasma which is kept anisotropic by a θ parameter that depends linearly on one of the spatial dimensions. Its holographic dual is given by an anisotropic axion-dilaton-gravity background and has recently been proposed by Mateos and Trancanelli as a model for the preequilibrium stage of quark-gluon p...
متن کاملGlucose-Sensitive Holographic (Bio)Sensors: Fundamentals and Applications
Nowadays sensors and especially biosensors play an important role in medical diagnosis and detection of food and environment contaminations. Biosensors’ facilities have been improved significantly by using technologies such as surface plasmon resonance, microfluidics, laser, and electrochemistry. These technologies are now available on chips in micro- and nano-scale and are capable of mea...
