Debye screening in strongly coupled N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma

چکیده
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we examine the behavior of correlators of Polyakov loops and other operators in N =4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at non-zero temperature. The implications for Debye screening in this strongly coupled non-Abelian plasma, and comparisons with available results for thermal QCD, are discussed.

Energy loss of a heavy quark moving through N = 4 supersymmetric Yang - Mills plasma
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to determine the rate of energy loss of a heavy quark moving through N = 4 SU(Nc) supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma at large ’t Hooft coupling. Using the dual description of the quark as a classical string ending on a D7-brane, we use a complementary combination of analytic and numerical techniques to determine the friction coefficient as a function of quark mas...
متن کاملRelaxation time of a CFT plasma at finite coupling
Following recent formulation of second order relativistic viscous hydrodynamics for conformal fluids, we compute finite coupling corrections to the relaxation time of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. The result is expected to be universal for any strongly coupled conformal gauge theory plasma in four dimensions.
متن کاملSecond order hydrodynamics of a CFT plasma from boost invariant expansion
We compute finite coupling correction to a nonlinear second order hydrodynamic coefficient in the boost invariant expansion of the N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. The result is universal for a large class of strongly coupled four dimensional conformal gauge theories.
متن کاملShear viscosity of strongly coupled N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma.
Using the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, we relate the shear viscosity eta of the finite-temperature N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large N, strong-coupling regime with the absorption cross section of low-energy gravitons by a near-extremal black three-brane. We show that in the limit of zero frequency this cross section coincides with the area of the horiz...
متن کاملBulk viscosity of N = 2 ∗ plasma
We use gauge theory/string theory correspondence to study the bulk viscosity of strongly coupled, mass deformed SU(Nc) N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma, also known as N = 2 gauge theory. For a wide range of masses we confirm the bulk viscosity bound proposed in [1]. For a certain choice of masses, the theory undergoes a phase transition with divergent specific heat cV ∼ |1 − Tc/T |−1/2. W...
