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…
Sonic booms and diffusion wakes generated by a heavy quark in thermal AdS/CFT
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu, Amos Yarom
We evaluate the Poynting vector generated by a heavy quark moving through a thermal state of N=4 gauge theory using AdS/CFT. A significant diffusion wake is observed as well as a M…
Energy disturbances due to a moving quark from gauge-string duality
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu, Amos Yarom
Using AdS/CFT, we calculate the energy density of a quark moving through a thermal state of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. Relying on previous work for momentum-space representations…
Master field treatment of metric perturbations sourced by the trailing string
Steven S. Gubser, Silviu S. Pufu
We present decoupled, separable forms of the linearized Einstein equations sourced by a string trailing behind an external quark moving through a thermal state of N=4 super-Yang-Mi…
