Non-equilibrium steady state formation in 3+1 dimensions
Christian Ecker, Johanna Erdmenger, Wilke van der Schee
We present the first holographic simulations of non-equilibrium steady state formation in strongly coupled SYM theory in 3+1 dimensions. We initially join together…
Strong-coupling dynamics and entanglement in de Sitter space
Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Christian Ecker, David Mateos +1
We use holography to study the dynamics of a strongly-coupled gauge theory in four-dimensional de Sitter space with Hubble rate . The gauge theory is non-conformal with a charac…
Quantum Null Energy Condition and its (non)saturation in 2d CFTs
Christian Ecker, Daniel Grumiller, Wilke van der Schee +2
We consider the Quantum Null Energy Condition (QNEC) for holographic conformal field theories in two spacetime dimensions (CFT). We show that QNEC saturates for all states dual…
Entanglement Entropy from Numerical Holography
Christian Ecker
In this thesis I present numerical studies of entanglement entropy and the quantum null energy condition in strongly coupled far-from-equilibrium quantum states using holography. I…
Time evolution of a toy semiholographic glasma
Christian Ecker, Ayan Mukhopadhyay, Florian Preis +2
We extend our previous study of a toy model for coupling classical Yang-Mills equations for describing overoccupied gluons at the saturation scale with a strongly coupled infrared…
Stiff phases in strongly coupled gauge theories with holographic duals
Christian Ecker, Carlos Hoyos, Niko Jokela +2
According to common lore, Equations of State of field theories with gravity duals tend to be soft, with speeds of sound either below or around the conformal value of $v_s=1/\sqrt{3…
