We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity theories by tuning the gravitational couplings to eliminate…
Kovtun, Son and Starinets proposed a bound on the viscosity of any fluid in terms of its entropy density. The bound is saturated by maximally supersymmetric theories at strong coupling, but can also easily be challenged experimentally to…
We explore the holographic prescription for computing the refined R\'enyi entropies $\tilde S_n$ in the $n \to 0$ limit within the AdS$_{d+1}$/CFT$_d$ framework. This limit can be interpreted as a high-temperature regime with respect to the…
