Energy disturbances due to a moving quark from gauge-string duality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using AdS/CFT, we calculate the energy density of a quark moving through a thermal state of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory. Relying on previous work for momentum-space representations as well as asymptotic behaviors, we Fourier transform to position space and exhibit a sonic boom at a speed larger than the speed of sound. Nontrivial structure is found at small length scales, confirming earlier analytical work by the authors. June 2007 e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

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 کاملMomentum fluctuations of heavy quarks in the gauge-string duality
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.
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT 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...

In this paper, we have considered that the strange-star consists of quark matter from its center to surface. For quark matter, we have used two models, the MIT bag model and string-flip like model. In the bag model, the energy of the system has been considered the kinetic energy of the particles of system in addition to a constant B. We have considered two states for B, one of them is constant...
متن کاملEnergy Loss in a Strongly Coupled Thermal Medium and the Gauge-string Duality
We review methods developed in the gauge-string duality to treat energy loss by energetic probes of a strongly coupled thermal medium. After introducing the black hole description of the thermal medium, we discuss the trailing string behind a heavy quark and the drag force that it implies. We then explain how to solve the linearized Einstein equations in the presence of the trailing string and ...
