Recently Eling and Oz (EO) proposed a formula for the holographic bulk viscosity, in arXiv:1103.1657, derived from the null horizon focusing equation. This formula seems different from that obtained earlier by Gubser, Pufu and Rocha (GPR) in arXiv:0806.0407 calculated from the IR limit of the two-point function of the trace of the stress tensor. The two were shown to agree only for some simple scaling cases. We point out that the two formulae agree in two non-trivial holographic theories describing RG flows. The first is the strongly coupled N=2* gauge theory plasma. The second is the semi-phenomenological model of Improved Holographic QCD.

  1. Domain Walls From Confining Bubbles: $SU(N_{c})$ Yang Mills at Finite $\theta$

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A nonzero theta angle weakens supercooling in SU(Nc) Yang-Mills confinement and makes any resulting domain-wall gravitational-wave signal invisible except under severe fine-tuning.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Analytic shear and bulk viscosity formulas are derived for a five-dimensional Einstein-Scalar-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet holographic model, with the shear viscosity cross-checked by Kubo methods.

    For the quadratic-dilaton Einstein-dilaton holographic model, the vector-sector dispersion relation gives η/s = 1/(4π), and the Kubo-formula bulk viscosity matches JETSCAPE data within a fitted range of the dilaton pa...
