Abstract

Gauge theory–gravity duality predicts that the shear viscosity of N=4 supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang–Mills plasma at temperature T in the limit of large Nc and large 't Hooft coupling gYM2Nc is independent of the coupling and equals to πNc2T3/8. In this paper, we compute the leading correction to the shear viscosity in inverse powers of 't Hooft coupling using the α′-corrected low-energy effective action of type IIB string theory. We also find the correction to the ratio of shear viscosity to the volume entropy density (equal to 1/4π in the limit of infinite coupling). The correction to 1/4π scales as (gYM2Nc)−3/2 with a positive coefficient.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
