Photon and dilepton production in supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma
Simon Caron-Huot, Pavel Kovtun, Guy Moore +2
By weakly gauging one of the U(1) subgroups of the R-symmetry group, N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory can be coupled to electromagnetism, thus allowing a computation of photon productio…
Energy loss of a heavy quark moving through N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma
C. P. Herzog, A. Karch, P. Kovtun +2
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to determine the rate of energy loss of a heavy quark moving through N=4 SU(N_c) supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma at large 't Hooft coupling. Usin…
A schematic model of neutrinos
Pavel Kovtun, A. Zee
We show that the observed pattern for neutrino mixing arises naturally if neutrinos are composites of more elementary constituents carrying an SU(2) quantum number we call lepospin…
Thermal spectral functions of strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
Pavel Kovtun, Andrei Starinets
We use the gauge-gravity duality conjecture to compute spectral functions of the stress-energy tensor in finite temperature N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the limit of lar…
