Thermal transport and quasi-normal modes in Gauss-Bonnet-axions theory

Understand

We obtain the black brane solution in arbitrary dimensional Gauss-Bonnet-axions (GBA) gravity theory.

• And then the thermal conductivity of the boundary theory dual to this neutral black brane is explored.
• We find that the momentum dissipation suppresses the DC thermal conductivity while it is enhanced by larger GB parameter.
• The analytical and numerical results of DC thermal conductivity match very well.
