TL;DR
This paper employs AdS/CFT duality to analyze the dynamics of a first order chiral phase transition in strongly coupled gauge theories, with implications for QCD and quark-gluon plasma behavior.
Contribution
It introduces a novel approach to study the real-time dynamics of chiral phase transitions using holographic duality, including numerical simulations of expanding plasma.
Findings
Latent heat relates to the energy of D-brane components behind the horizon.
Numerical simulation captures the dynamical evolution of the phase transition.
Insights into the behavior of quark-gluon plasma during cooling processes.
Abstract
We use Lorentzian signature AdS/CFT duality to study a first order phase transition in strongly coupled gauge theories which is akin to the chiral phase transition in QCD. We discuss the relation between the latent heat and the energy (suitably defined) of the component of a D-brane which lies behind the horizon at the critical temperature. A numerical simulation of a dynamical phase transition in an expanding, cooling Quark-Gluon plasma produced in a relativistic collision is carried out.
