Holographic Shear Viscosity in Hyperscaling Violating Theories without Translational Invariance

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, η/sη/s, in hyperscaling violating geometry with lattice structure. We show that the scaling relation with hyperscaling violation gives a strong constraint to the mass of graviton and usually leads to a power law of temperature, η/s∼Tκη/s\sim T^κ. We find the exponent κκ can be greater than two such that the new bound for viscosity raised in arXiv:1601.02757 is violated. Our above observation is testified by constructing specific solutions with UV completion in various holographic models. Finally, we compare the boundedness of κκ with the behavior of entanglement entropy and conjecture a relation between them.
