We calculate the shear viscosity in the frame of AdS/CFT correspondence for the field theory with a gravity dual of Einstein-Born-Infeld gravity. We find that the ratio of $\eta/s$ is still the conjectured universal value $1/4\pi$ at least…
We calculate shear viscosity to entropy density ratio in presence of four derivative (with coefficient $\alpha'$) and six derivative (with coefficient $\alpha'^2$) terms in bulk action. In general, there can be three possible four…
