Abstract
We set up a unified framework to efficiently compute the shear and bulk viscosities of strongly coupled gauge theories with gravitational holographic duals involving higher derivative corrections. We consider both Weyl corrections, encoding the finite 't Hooft coupling corrections of the boundary theory, and Riemann corrections, responsible for non-equal central charges of the theory at the ultraviolet fixed point. Our expressions for the viscosities in higher derivative holographic models are extracted from a radially conserved current and depend only on the horizon data.
