Holography and Causality in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

Field theories with higher derivative gravity duals can violate the viscosity bound. However the extent of the violation is not arbitrary since it depends on the coupling of the higher derivative interactions, which can be constrained by requiring consistency of the boundary field theory. In particu...
