We consider strongly coupled gauge theory plasma with conserved global charges that allow for a dual gravitational description. We study the shear viscosity of the gauge theory plasma in the presence of chemical potentials for these charges. Using gauge theory/string theory correspondence we prove that at large 't Hooft coupling the ratio of the shear viscosity to the entropy density is universal.

    Curvature on S^3 decouples dynamical instabilities in R-charge transport from thermodynamic instabilities in N=4 SYM plasma at finite density, with thermodynamic instability persisting under volume fluctuations.
