The status of the KSS bound and its possible violations (how perfect can a fluid be?)

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: In this work we briefly review the Kovtun-Son-Starinet (KSS) computation of the ratio eta/s for quantum field theories with gravitational dual and the related conjecture that it is bound from below by 1/4 pi. We discuss the validity of the bound and the nature of its possible violations, its relevance for RHIC, its connection with phase transitions and other related issues.
