Seminar “Theory of Hadronic Matter Under Extreme Conditions”

On Thursday, 16 June 2016, at 11.00 am in the Blokhintsev Hall (4th floor) of BLTP a seminar “Evolution of holographic Wilson loops in anisotropic quark-gluon plasma” will be held.

Speaker: Anastasia Golubtsova (BLTP JINR)

Abstract:

In this talk we discuss the evolution of Wilson loops in anisotropic quark-gluon plasma using the holographic approach. We evaluate the Wilson loops in both static and time-dependent cases. The anisotropic time-dependent plasma is dual to Lifshitz-Vaidya background, while we use a black brane in the Lifshitz-like spacetime for a finite temperature plasma in equillibrium. To probe the system we calculate Wilson loops oriented in different spatial directions. We find that anisotropic effects in the Lifshitz-like backgrounds are more visible for the Wilson loops lying in the transversal direction unlike the Wilson loops partially oriented in the longitudinal one.
