Jorge Noronha (Columbia U.)
TL;DR
This paper investigates the behavior of Polyakov loops in strongly-coupled gauge plasmas using gravity duals, providing insights into their thermodynamics and deconfinement properties.
Contribution
It introduces a gravity dual model that accurately describes Polyakov loop expectations and thermodynamics in the deconfined phase of quenched SU(3) QCD.
Findings
Polyakov loop behavior matches lattice results up to 3 times the critical temperature.
The gravity dual captures thermodynamic properties of the plasma.
The model offers a new tool for studying strongly-coupled gauge theories.
Abstract
We study the properties of the Polyakov loop in strongly-coupled gauge plasmas that are conjectured to be dual to five dimensional theories of gravity coupled to a nontrivial single scalar field. We find a gravity dual that can describe the thermodynamic properties and also the expectation value of the Polyakov loop in the deconfined phase of quenched SU(3) QCD up to .
