Holographic thermalisation of strongly-coupled systems
Floriana Giannuzzi
TL;DR
This paper investigates how strongly-coupled plasmas thermalize using AdS/CFT, showing rapid transition to viscous hydrodynamics and analyzing the process with local and nonlocal probes.
Contribution
It provides new insights into the thermalization process of strongly-coupled systems via holography, highlighting the role of different probes in characterizing equilibrium.
Findings
System quickly behaves as viscous hydrodynamics after perturbation
Local and nonlocal probes effectively characterize thermalization
Thermalization occurs rapidly in strongly-coupled plasmas
Abstract
The thermalisation of a strongly-coupled plasma is studied through the AdS/CFT correspondence. The system starts behaving as in viscous hydrodynamics shortly after the end of the perturbation. Local and nonlocal probes are used to characterise the process towards equilibrium.
