No-Drag String Configurations for Steadily Moving Quark-Antiquark Pairs in a Thermal Bath

Abstract

We investigate the behavior of stationary string configurations on a five-dimensional AdS black hole background which correspond to quark-antiquark pairs steadily moving in an N=4 super Yang-Mills thermal bath. There are many branches of solutions, depending on the quark velocity and separation as well as on whether Euclidean or Lorentzian configurations are examined.

references added; statements corrected; eliminated computation of jet quenching parameter from Wilson loop of [Liu, Rajagopal, Wiedemann, hep-th/0605178] using Euclidean string configurations since those authors advocate [hep-th/0607062, footnote 14] the use of spacelike Lorentzian string configurations instead
