The cascading gauge theory of Klebanov et.al realizes a soluble example of gauge/string correspondence in a non-conformal setting. Such a gauge theory has a strong coupling scale Λ, below which it confines with a chiral symmetry breaking. A holographic description of a strongly coupled cascading gauge theory plasma is represented by a black brane solution of type IIB supergravity on a conifold ...

We study, beyond the well-known Akhiezer-Polovin model, plasma electrostatic wave and unmagnetized electron beam.Our investigation is based on a stricter theory in which a long-lasting misconception about zerotemperature fluid motion equation is removed. Our theory explains some authors' puzzle about why a narrowly focused (charged particles) beam is preserved in the presence of strong space ch...

Using field-theoretic methods, we calculate the internal energy for the One-Component Plasma (OCP). We go beyond the recent calculation by Brilliantov [N. Brilliantov, Contrib. Plasma Phys. 38, 489 (1998)] by including non-Gaussian terms. We show that, for the whole range of the plasma parameter Γ , the effect of the higher-order terms is small and that the final result is not improved relative...

When nuclear matter is heated beyond 2 trillion degrees, it becomes a strongly coupled plasma of quarks and gluons. Experiments using highly energetic collisions between heavy nuclei have revealed that this new state of matter is a nearly ideal, highly opaque liquid. A description based on string theory and black holes in five dimensions has made the quark-gluon plasma an archetypical strongly ...
