- Hall conductivity from dyonic black holes (2007, background): “In 3+1 dimensions, that work has led to a conjectured universal lower bound on the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density [7] and also to unanticipated connections with the fireball created at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider [8].”
- Lectures on hydrodynamic fluctuations in relativistic theories (2012, background): “An example of a fruitful interplay between hydrodynamics and black hole physics came from the realization that the kinematic viscosity in the gauge-gravity duality takes a universal model-independent value [8, 9], and that the Heisenberg uncertainty relation may prevent the existence of perfect flui”

It is also well understood that higher curvature corr”
