Unitarity constraints on the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density in higher derivative gravity

We discuss corrections to the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density $\eta/s$ in higher-derivative gravity theories. Generically, these theories contain ghost modes with Planck-scale masses. Motivated by general considerations about unitarity, we propose new boundary conditions for the equation...
