The shear viscosity to entropy ratio: a status report

S Cremonini - Modern Physics Letters B, 2011 - World Scientific
This review highlights some of the lessons that the holographic gauge/gravity duality has
taught us regarding the behavior of the shear viscosity to entropy density in strongly coupled …

A Holographic view on physics out of equilibrium

VE Hubeny, M Rangamani - Advances in high energy physics, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We review the recent developments in applying holographic methods to understand
nonequilibrium physics in strongly coupled field theories. The emphasis will be on …

Towards a derivation of holographic entanglement entropy

H Casini, M Huerta, RC Myers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
We provide a derivation of holographic entanglement entropy for spherical entangling
surfaces. Our construction relies on conformally map** the boundary CFT to a hyperbolic …

Holographic c-theorems in arbitrary dimensions

RC Myers, A Sinha - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the
context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity …

Emergent spacetime and holographic CFTs

S El-Showk, K Papadodimas - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We discuss universal properties of conformal field theories with holographic duals.
A central feature of these theories is the existence of a low-lying sector of operators whose …

Strongly correlated quantum fluids: ultracold quantum gases, quantum chromodynamic plasmas and holographic duality

A Adams, LD Carr, T Schäfer, P Steinberg… - New Journal of …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Strongly correlated quantum fluids are phases of matter that are intrinsically quantum
mechanical and that do not have a simple description in terms of weakly interacting …

On holographic entanglement entropy and higher curvature gravity

LY Hung, RC Myers, M Smolkin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
We examine holographic entanglement entropy with higher curvature gravity in the bulk. We
show that in general Wald's formula for horizon entropy does not yield the correct …

Black holes in quasi-topological gravity

RC Myers, B Robinson - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
We construct a new gravitational action which includes cubic curvature interactions and
which provides a useful toy model for the holographic study of a three parameter family of …

Four-dimensional black holes in Einsteinian cubic gravity

P Bueno, PA Cano - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We construct static and spherically symmetric generalizations of the Schwarzschild-and
Reissner-Nordström-(anti–) de Sitter [RN-(A) dS] black-hole solutions in four-dimensional …

Smarr formula and an extended first law for Lovelock gravity

D Kastor, S Ray, J Traschen - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We study properties of static, asymptotically AdS black holes in Lovelock gravity. Our main
result is a Smarr formula that gives the mass in terms of geometrical quantities together with …
