Backreaction effects of matter coupled higher derivative gravity
 
 

In this talk, the speaker will discuss backreaction of higher derivative matter coupled action on the AdS background. Using gauge/gravity duality she will revisit shear viscosity and entropy density for a strongly coupled field theory. The talk will be focused on elaborating the effects of the backreaction on the gravity background as well as on transport coefficients.
