Viscosity in Strongly Interacting Quantum Field Theories from Black Hole Physics

Viscosity in Strongly Interacting Quantum Field Theories from Black Hole Physics

The ratio of shear viscosity to volume density of entropy can be used to characterize how close a given fluid is to being perfect. Using string theory methods, we show that this ratio is equal to a universal value of variant Planck's over 2pi/4pik(B) for a large class of strongly …
