Probing the pattern of holographic thermalization with photons

Dominik Steineder, Stefan A. Stricker, Aleksi Vuorinen

We investigate the behavior of the retarded Green's function of a U(1) gauge field in holographic N=4 Super Yang-Mills plasma, taking the leading strong coupling corrections into a…

Thermalization at intermediate coupling

Dominik Steineder, Stefan A. Stricker, Aleksi Vuorinen

We use the AdS/CFT conjecture to investigate the thermalization of large-N_c N=4 Super Yang-Mills plasma in the limit of large but finite 't Hooft coupling. On the gravity side, we…

Thermodynamics and phase diagram of anisotropic Chern-Simons deformed gauge theories

A. Gynther, A. Rebhan, D. Steineder

We consider 3+1-dimensional gauge theories at finite temperature and a finite density of charges which couple to a 2+1-dimensional Chern-Simons operator, giving rise to a theta-ter…

Probing Two Holographic Models of Strongly Coupled Anisotropic Plasma

Anton Rebhan, Dominik Steineder

Quark-gluon plasma during its initial phase after its production in heavy-ion collisions is expected to have substantial pressure anisotropies. In order to model this situation by…

Violation of the Holographic Viscosity Bound in a Strongly Coupled Anisotropic Plasma

Anton Rebhan, Dominik Steineder

We study the conductivity and shear viscosity tensors of a strongly coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills plasma which is kept anisotropic by a theta parameter that depends linearly on one…

Electromagnetic signatures of a strongly coupled anisotropic plasma

Anton Rebhan, Dominik Steineder

In heavy-ion collisions, quark-gluon plasma is likely to be produced with sizable initial pressure anisotropy, which may leave an imprint on electromagnetic observables. In order t…

Collective modes and instabilities in anisotropically expanding ultarelativistic plasmas

Anton Rebhan, Dominik Steineder

The time evolution of collective modes in an expanding ultarelativistic and (effectively) Abelian plasma is studied in the hard-loop approximation semi-analytically by means of int…
