Gravity Dual Corrections to the Heavy Quark Potential at Finite-Temperature
Hovhannes R. Grigoryan, Yuri V. Kovchegov
We apply gauge/gravity duality to compute corrections to the heavy quark potentials of a quark--anti-quark pair () and of a quark--quark pair () immersed int…
Long-Range Rapidity Correlations in Heavy Ion Collisions at Strong Coupling from AdS/CFT
Hovhannes R. Grigoryan, Yuri V. Kovchegov
We use AdS/CFT correspondence to study two-particle correlations in heavy ion collisions at strong coupling. Modeling the colliding heavy ions by shock waves on the gravity side, w…
Shock Wave Collisions and Thermalization in AdS_5
Yuri V. Kovchegov
We study heavy ion collisions at strong 't Hooft coupling using AdS/CFT correspondence. According to the AdS/CFT dictionary heavy ion collisions correspond to gravitational shock w…
Toward Thermalization in Heavy Ion Collisions at Strong Coupling
Yuri V. Kovchegov, Shu Lin
We find the trapped surface for a collision of two sourceless shock waves in AdS and conclude that such collisions always lead to a creation of a black hole in the bulk. Due to…
Shock Treatment: Heavy Quark Drag in a Novel AdS Geometry
W. A. Horowitz, Yuri V. Kovchegov
We calculate the drag force on a heavy quark hit by a shock wave, thus generalizing the strongly coupled AdS/CFT heavy quark drag calculations to both hot and cold nuclear matter.…
Asymmetric Collision of Two Shock Waves in AdS_5
Javier L. Albacete, Yuri V. Kovchegov, Anastasios Taliotis
We consider high energy collisions of two shock waves in AdS_5 as a model of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions in the boundary theory. We first calculate the graviton fi…
DIS in AdS
Javier L. Albacete, Yuri V. Kovchegov, Anastasios Taliotis
We calculate the total cross section for the scattering of a quark--anti-quark dipole on a large nucleus at high energy for a strongly coupled N=4 super Yang-Mills theory using AdS…
Heavy Quark Potential at Finite Temperature Using the Holographic Correspondence
Javier L. Albacete, Yuri V. Kovchegov, Anastasios Taliotis
We revisit the calculation of a heavy quark potential in N =4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature using the AdS/CFT correspondence. As is widely known, the poten…
Critical Temperature of the Deconfining Phase Transition in (2+1)d Georgi-Glashow Model
Yuri V. Kovchegov, D. T. Son
We find the temperature of the phase transition in the (2+1)d Georgi-Glashow model. The critical temperature is shown to depend on the gauge coupling and on the ratio of Higgs and…
