Momentum fluctuations of heavy quarks in the gauge-string duality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the gauge-string duality, I compute two-point functions of the force acting on an external quark moving through a finite temperature bath of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory. I comment on the possible relevance of the string theory calculations to heavy quarks propagating through a quark-gluon plasma.

Jet-quenching and momentum correlators from the gauge-string duality
I relate the jet-quenching parameter, defined as q̂ = p⊥/λ, for an external quark moving through a thermal plasma of N = 4 gauge theory, to a two-point function of transverse displacements of the quark’s worldline. This two-point function can be computed using the gauge-string duality. I comment on the possible relevance of the string theory calculation to heavy quarks propagating through a quar...
متن کاملبررسی حرکت براونی یک ذره سنگین با استفاده از تناظر AdS/CFT
In this research we have studied the Brownian motion of a heavy particle in thermalized plasma. This plasma is made of quarks and gluons and it is different with normal plasma. Since, coupling constant is strong in this plasma, usual perturbation method does not work for the study of this plasma. For this purpose AdS/CFT duality is used. Based on the AdS/CFT duality to consider temperature...
متن کاملGauge/String Duality, Hot QCD and Heavy Ion Collisions
Over the last decade, both experimental and theoretical advances have brought the need for strong coupling techniques in the analysis of deconfined QCD matter and heavy ion collisions to the forefront. As a consequence, a fruitful interplay has developed between analyses of strongly-coupled non-abelian plasmas via the gauge/string duality (also referred to as the AdS/CFT correspondence) and the...
متن کاملStochastic trailing string and Langevin dynamics from AdS/CFT
Using the gauge/string duality, we derive a set of Langevin equations describing the dynamics of a relativistic heavy quark moving with constant average speed through the strongly–coupled N =4 SYM plasma at finite temperature. We show that the stochasticity arises at the string world–sheet horizon, and thus is causally disconnected from the black hole horizon in the space–time metric. This hint...
متن کاملThe Spatial String Tension in the Deconfined Phase of SU(N) Gauge Theory and Gauge/String Duality
The spatial string tension of a SU(N) gauge theory without quarks is calculated using gauge/string duality for 1.2Tc ≤ T ≤ 3Tc. The result is remarkably consistent with the available lattice data for N = 2, 3. Some evidence is found that to leading order the large distance physics of a string can be described by a five-dimensional geometry without a need for an internal space. PACS: 12.38.Lg; 1...
