Hydrodynamics of holographic flavored plasmas
arXiv:1101.3432 · doi:10.1002/prop.201100008
Abstract
We provide a short review of the hydrodynamical properties of a class of strongly coupled thermal gauge theories, coupled to massless fundamental flavor fields, having a dual supergravity description. The analysis is valid for more general classes of nearly conformal holographic plasmas, where the breaking of conformality is driven by marginally (ir)relevant deformations.
