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…
Superconformal Indices for Chern Simons Theories
Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya, Shiraz Minwalla
Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena have recently proposed a dual gravitational description for a family of superconformal Chern Simons theories in three spacetime dimensions.…
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…
Comments on 1/16 BPS Quantum States and Classical Configurations
Lars Grant, Pietro A. Grassi, Seok Kim +1
We formulate the problem of counting 1/16 BPS states of N = 4 Yang Mills theory as the enumeration of the local cohomology of an operator acting on holomorphic fields on C^2. We st…
