Weak Field Black Hole Formation in Asymptotically AdS Spacetimes
Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Shiraz Minwalla
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study the thermalization of a strongly coupled conformal field theory that is forced out of its vacuum by a source that couples to a marginal o…
The Incompressible Non-Relativistic Navier-Stokes Equation from Gravity
Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Shiraz Minwalla, Spenta R. Wadia
We note that the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics reduce to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a particular scaling limit. In this limit boundary metric fluctuati…
Conformal Nonlinear Fluid Dynamics from Gravity in Arbitrary Dimensions
Sayantani Bhattacharyya, R. Loganayagam, Ipsita Mandal +2
We generalize recent work to construct a map from the conformal Navier Stokes equations with holographically determined transport coefficients, in d spacetime dimensions, to the se…
Local Fluid Dynamical Entropy from Gravity
Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Veronika E Hubeny, R. Loganayagam +5
Spacetime geometries dual to arbitrary fluid flows in strongly coupled N=4 super Yang Mills theory have recently been constructed perturbatively in the long wavelength limit. We de…
Indices for Superconformal Field Theories in 3,5 and 6 Dimensions
Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya, Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Shiraz Minwalla +1
We present a trace formula for a Witten type Index for superconformal field theories in d=3,5 and 6 dimensions, generalizing a similar recent construction in d=4. We perform a deta…
Nonlinear Fluid Dynamics from Gravity
Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Veronika E Hubeny, Shiraz Minwalla +1
Black branes in AdS5 appear in a four parameter family labeled by their velocity and temperature. Promoting these parameters to Goldstone modes or collective coordinate fields -- a…
