Weak and strong coupling equilibration in nonabelian gauge theories
Liam Keegan, Aleksi Kurkela, Paul Romatschke +2
We present a direct comparison studying equilibration through kinetic theory at weak coupling and through holography at strong coupling in the same set-up. The set-up starts with a…
Rapidity dependence in holographic heavy ion collisions
Wilke van der Schee, Bjoern Schenke
We present an attempt to closely mimic the initial stage of heavy ion collisions within holography, assuming a decoupling of longitudinal and transverse dynamics in the very early…
Universal hydrodynamic flow in holographic planar shock collisions
Paul M. Chesler, Niki Kilbertus, Wilke van der Schee
We study the collision of planar shock waves in AdS as a function of shock profile. In the dual field theory the shock waves describe planar sheets of energy whose collision re…
Early thermalization, hydrodynamics and energy loss in AdS/CFT
Paul M. Chesler, Wilke van der Schee
Gauge/gravity duality has provided unprecedented opportunities to study dynamics in certain strongly coupled gauge theories. This review aims to highlight several applications to h…
