Abstract

We propose a dual lower dimensional description of the vacuum state associated to a strongly coupled CFT living on Rindler wedge slice close to the horizon hypersurface. From this field theory, with a linear response approach, we show the possibility to derive an entanglement horizon viscosity via a holographic Kubo formula in terms of a two-point function of the stress tensor of matter fields in the bulk. The entanglement viscosity over entropy density ratio come out to satisfy the universal Kovtun-Son-Starinets (KSS) value 1/4π in four dimensions, suggesting the universal ratio may be a fundamental property of quantum entanglement.
