Abstract

Using gauge theory /string theory correspondence certain universal aspects of the strongly coupled four dimensional gauge theory hydrodynamics were established in hep-th/0311175. The analysis were performed in the framework of ``membrane paradigm'' approach to the fluctuations on the black brane stretched horizon. We confirm the universal result for the shear viscosity to the entropy density ratio for the strongly coupled N=2* gauge theory from explicit computation of the finite temperature Minkowski-space correlation functions in the dual supergravity geometry.
