Hydrodynamics and String Theory

چکیده
where lmicro is a characteristic scale of microscopic processes in the system (e.g. a correlation length), and L is a typical size of the system. Hydrodynamic description becomes unreliable when the inequality (1) is not satisfied. Schwarzschild black holes do not correspond to any hydrodynamic regime in a (hypothetical) holographicaly dual description because in that case L ∼ 1/T ∼ lmicro. We also do not expect the linearized hydrodynamic description to hold near a point of a phase transition, where the correlation length is typically large. We shall see that in the case of LST, predictions of the linearized hydrodynamics are not in contradiction with the hydrodynamic limit of the correlation functions obtained in the microscopic theory at the tree level. To derive the dispersion relations for the shear and the sound modes, consider small deviations from equilibrium < Tμν > +T̃μν(t, x) in the stress-energy tensor of a theory in a D + 1 dimensional Minkowski space. The equations of linearized hydrodynamics follow from the conservation law ∂μT = 0, ∂0T̃ 00 + ∂iT 0i = 0 , ∂0T 0i + ∂j T̃ ij = 0 , (2)

DEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملString Theory and Quantum Chromodynamics
I review recent progress on the connection between string theory and quantum chromodynamics in the context of the gauge/gravity duality. Emphasis is placed on conciseness and conceptual aspects rather than on technical details. Topics covered include the largeNc limit of gauge theories, the gravitational description of gauge theory thermodynamics and hydrodynamics, and confinement/deconfinement...
متن کاملBulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation
Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...
متن کاملStrange quark matter attached to string cloud in general scalar tensor theory of gravitation
Bianchi type-VI0 space time with strange quark matter attached to string cloud in Nordtvedt [1] general scalar tensor theory of gravitation with the help of a special case proposed by Schwinger [2] is obtained. The field equations have been solved by using the anisotropy feature of the universe in the Bianchi type-VI0 space time. Some important features of the model, thus obtained, have been di...
متن کاملCausality of Holographic Hydrodynamics
We study causality violation in holographic hydrodynamics in the gauge theory/string theory correspondence, focusing on Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The value of the GaussBonnet coupling is related to the difference between the central charges of the dual conformal gauge theory. We show that, when this difference is sufficiently large, causality is violated both in the second-order truncated theory of...
متن کاملTIFR Annual Report 2010 - 11 Department of Theoretical Physics String
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, a complete theory of superfluid hydrodynamics for s-wave superfluids was obtained generalizing classic earlier results by Landau, Tiza and Putterman. A new class of small hairy black holes was found in AdS5 x S. The hydrodynamic properties of strongly coupled SU(N) Yang-Mills theory of the D1-brane was studied at finite temperature and at a nonzero density of R...
