Complexified boost invariance and holographic heavy ion collisions
Steven S. Gubser, Wilke van der Schee
At strong coupling holographic studies have shown that heavy ion collisions do not obey normal boost invariance. Here we study a modified boost invariance through a complex shift i…

Absence of a local rest frame in far from equilibrium quantum matter
Peter Arnold, Paul Romatschke, Wilke van der Schee
In a collision of strongly coupled quantum matter we find that the dynamics of the collision produces regions where a local rest frame cannot be defined because the energy-momentum…

Gravitational collisions and the quark-gluon plasma
Wilke van der Schee
This thesis addresses the thermalisation of heavy-ion collisions within the context of the AdS/CFT duality. The first part clarifies the numerical set-up and studies the relaxation…
