Abstract

Using the anti--de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, we relate the shear viscosity $\ensuremath{\eta}$ of the finite-temperature $N\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large $N$, strong-coupling regime with the absorption cross sec...
