Entropy production in collisions of gravitational shock waves and of heavy ions
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu, Amos Yarom
We calculate the area of a marginally trapped surface formed by a head-on collision of gravitational shock waves in AdS_D. We use this to obtain a lower bound on the entropy produc…
Thermodynamics and bulk viscosity of approximate black hole duals to finite temperature quantum chromodynamics
Steven S. Gubser, Abhinav Nellore, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We consider classes of translationally invariant black hole solutions whose equations of state closely resemble that of QCD at zero chemical potential. We use these backgrounds to…
Shock waves from heavy-quark mesons in AdS/CFT
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu, Amos Yarom
We calculate the far-field stress-energy tensor of a quark gluon plasma due to a heavy-quark meson moving through it, using a semi-classical description in string theory of the mes…
