Hyperscaling violation, quasinormal modes and shear diffusion

Abstract We study quasinormal modes of shear gravitational perturbations for hyperscaling violating Lifshitz theories, with Lifshitz and hyperscaling violating exponents z and θ. The lowest quasinormal mode frequency yields a shear diffusion constant which is in agreement with that obtained in previ...
