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 …

We show that at the level of linear response the low-frequency limit of a strongly coupled
field theory at finite temperature is determined by the horizon geometry of its gravity dual, ie …

We study the properties of the holographic CFT dual to Gauss-Bonnet gravity in general D
(≥ 5) dimensions. We establish the AdS/CFT dictionary and in particular relate the …

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 …

We use a low-energy effective description of gauge theory/string theory duality to argue that
the Kovtun-Son-Starinets viscosity bound is generically violated in superconformal gauge …

We embed a holographic description of a quantum field theory with Galilean conformal
invariance in string theory. The key observation is that such field theories may be realized as …

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 …

We consider five-dimensional gravity coupled to a negative cosmological constant and a
single U (1) gauge field, including a general set of four-derivative interactions. In this …

We calculate the shear viscosity of field theories with gravity duals using Kubo formula by
calculating the Green function of dual transverse gravitons and confirm that the value of the …

A bstract Horndeski gravities are theories of gravity coupled to a scalar field, in which the
action contains an additional non-minimal quadratic coupling of the scalar, through its first …
