Abstract

The presence of a functional measure is scrutinized on both sides of the dual gauge/gravity correspon-dence. Corrections to the transport coefficients in relativistic hydrodynamics are obtained using the linear response procedure. In particular, using first-order hydrodynamics, the shear viscosity, entropy density, dif-fusion constant, and speed of sound are shown not to acquire any corrections from the functional measure of gravity, for a Minkowski background metric. On the other hand, the energy density, the pressure, the relaxation time, the bulk viscosity, the decay rate of sound waves, and coefficients of conformal traceless tensor fields, are shown to carry significant quantum corrections due to the functional measure, even for a flat background. They all acquire an imaginary part that reflects the instability of the strongly-coupled fluids on the boundary CFT. This opens up the possibility of testing quantum gravity with the quark-gluon plasma.(c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
