Viscosity Correlators in Improved Holographic QCD
Abstract
We study a bottom-up holographic model of large-Nc Yang-Mills theory, in which conformal invariance is broken through the introduction of a dilaton potential on the gravity side. We use the model to calculate the spectral densities of the shear and bulk channels at finite temperature. In the shear channel, we compare our results to those derived in strongly coupled N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory as well as in weakly coupled ordinary Yang-Mills. In the bulk channel, where the conformal result is trivial, we make comparisons with both perturbative and lattice QCD. In both channels, we pay particular attention into the effects of conformal invariance breaking in the IHQCD model.
