abstract
We consider hydrodynamics of N=4 supersymmetric SU(N_c) Yang-Mills plasma at a nonzero density of R-charge. In the regime of large N_c and large 't Hooft coupling the gravity dual description involves an asymptotically Anti- de Sitter five-dimensional charged black hole solution of Behrnd, Cvetic and Sabra. We compute the shear viscosity as a function of chemical potentials conjugated to the three U(1) \subset SO(6)_R charges. The ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density is independent of the chemical potentials and is equal to 1/4\pi. For a single charge black hole we also compute the thermal conductivity, and investigate the critical behavior of the transport coefficients near the boundary of thermodynamic stability.

Probing Thermodynamic Phase Transitions of 4D R-Charged Black Holes via Lyapunov Exponent
For 4D R-charged black holes, the Lyapunov exponent of unstable circular orbits tracks black hole phase transitions, and its discontinuity near the critical point shows a universal critical exponent of 1/2.
