The confining trailing string
E. Kiritsis, L. Mazzanti, F. Nitti
We extend the holographic trailing string picture of a heavy quark to the case of a bulk geometry dual to a confining gauge theory. We compute the classical trailing confining stri…
Probes on D3-D7 Quark-Gluon Plasmas
A. Magaña, J. Mas, L. Mazzanti +1
We study the holographic dual model of quenched flavors immersed in a quark-gluon plasma with massless dynamical quarks in the Veneziano limit. This is modeled by embedding a probe…
Dressed spectral densities for heavy quark diffusion in holographic plasmas
Elias Kiritsis, Liuba Mazzanti, Francesco Nitti
We analyze the large frequency behavior of the spectral densities that govern the generalized Langevin diffusion process for a heavy quark in the context of the gauge/gravity duali…
Improved Holographic QCD
Umut Gürsoy, Elias Kiritsis, Liuba Mazzanti +2
We provide a review to holographic models based on Einstein-dilaton gravity with a potential in 5 dimensions. Such theories, for a judicious choice of potential are very close to t…
Langevin diffusion of heavy quarks in non-conformal holographic backgrounds
U. Gursoy, E. Kiritsis, L. Mazzanti +1
The Langevin diffusion process of a relativistic heavy quark in a non-conformal holographic setup is discussed. The bulk geometry is a general, five-dimensional asymptotically AdS…
Improved Holographic Yang-Mills at Finite Temperature: Comparison with Data
U. Gursoy, E. Kiritsis, L. Mazzanti +1
The semi-phenomenological improved holographic model for QCD is confronted with data of the pure glue, large-Nc gauge theory. After fitting two phenomenological parameters in the p…
