We compute the correlation functions of R-charge currents and components of the stress-energy tensor in the strongly coupled large-N finite-temperature N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, following a recently formulated Minkowskian AdS/CFT prescription. We observe that in the long-distance, low-frequency limit, such correlators have the form dictated by hydrodynamics. We deduce from the calculations the R-charge diffusion constant and the shear viscosity. The value for the latter is in agreement with an earlier calculation based on the Kubo formula and absorption by black branes.

  1. After the Fluid: Subexponential Decay in AdS$_4$

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Real-analytic perturbations of AdS4 black branes exhibit stretched-exponential decay exp(-c t^{5/6}) controlled by the large-k tail of the quasinormal mode spectrum.

  2. Bayesian Inference of Heavy-Quark Dissipation and Jet Transport Parameters from D-Meson observables in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC energies

    nucl-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First simultaneous Bayesian extraction of 2πT D_s and q-hat/T^3 from D-meson R_AA and v2 at 5.02 TeV, yielding a non-monotonic temperature dependence in their ratio that deviates from the expected value of 2.

  3. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

  4. Imprint of the black hole singularity on thermal two-point functions

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Thermal two-point functions in holographic AdS black holes receive exponentially small non-perturbative corrections controlled by null geodesics bouncing off the singularity.

  5. Radiation in Fluid/Gravity and the Flat Limit

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Establishes a holographic link between bulk gravitational radiation and dissipative corrections plus entropy production in boundary fluids, then constructs Carrollian analogues and celestial observables in the flat limit.

  6. The dual Ginzburg-Landau theory for a holographic superfluid/superconductor: Critical dynamics

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Identifies the dual model F equations for a 5D holographic superconductor/superfluid in the probe limit, obtaining numerical coefficients exactly.

  7. Traversable wormhole with double trace deformations via gravitational shear and sound channels

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Double trace deformations create traversable wormholes in AdS5 black branes via gravitational shear and sound channel perturbations that violate ANEC in the hydrodynamic limit.

  8. Effect of non-conformal deformation on the gapped quasi-normal modes and the holographic implications

    hep-th 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Non-conformal deformation via Einstein-dilaton gravity increases the radius of convergence of the derivative expansion for gapped quasinormal modes of a scalar operator in the holographic dual.
