3 Bjorken flow from an AdS Schwarzschild black hole 2 AdS/CFT correspondence and hydrodynamics

4 Bjorken flow from an AdS Schwarzschild black hole 3 A second unexpected connection comes from studies carried out using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a particle accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This machine smashes together nuclei at high energy to produce a hot, strongly interacting plasma. Physicists have found that some of the properties of this plasma are better modeled (via duality) as a tiny black hole in a space with extra dimensions than as the expected clump of elementary particles in the usual four dimensions of spacetime. The prediction here is again not a sharp one, as the string model works much better than expected. String-theory skeptics could take the point of view that it is just a mathematical spinoff. However, one of the repeated lessons of physics is unity - nature uses a small number of principles in diverse ways. And so the quantum gravity that is manifesting itself in dual form at Brookhaven is likely to be the same one that operates everywhere else in the universe. Joe Polchinski Au fireball Au

11 Bjorken flow from an AdS Schwarzschild black hole 10 Quasi-normal modes of black holes Quasi-normal modes (QNMs) describe small perturbations of a black hole. A black hole is a thermodynamical system whose (Hawking) temperature and entropy are given in terms of its global characteristics (total mass, charge and angular momentum). QNMs obtained by solving a wave equation for small fluctuations subject to the conditions that the flux be ingoing at the horizon and outgoing at asymptotic infinity. discrete spectrum of complex frequencies. imaginary part determines the decay time of the small fluctuations Im ω = 1 τ

12 Bjorken flow from an AdS Schwarzschild black hole 11 AdS/CFT correspondence and hydrodynamics [Policastro, Son and Starinets] correspondence between N = 4 SYM in the large N limit and type-iib string theory in AdS 5 S 5. in strong coupling limit of field theory, string theory is reduced to classical supergravity, which allows one to calculate all field-theory correlation functions. nontrivial prediction of gauge theory/gravity correspondence entropy of N = 4 SYM theory in the limit of large t Hooft coupling is precisely 3/4 the value in zero coupling limit. long-distance, low-frequency behavior of any interacting theory at finite temperature must be described by fluid mechanics (hydrodynamics). universality: hydrodynamics implies very precise constraints on correlation functions of conserved currents and stress-energy tensor: correlators fixed once a few transport coefficients are known.

30 Bjorken flow from an AdS Schwarzschild black hole 29 understand temperature of plasma... Know: T H is temperature of static fluid on z = 0 hypersurface whose metric is ds 2 z 0 = dt2 + d x 2 On the other hand, z 0 hypersurface has metric ds 2 z 0 = dτ 2 + τ 2 dy 2 + (d x ) 2 The two metrics are related through the transformation t = d 2 d 3 τ d 3 d 2, x 1 = τ d 3 d 2y, x = x τ 1/(d 2) by a leading-order conformal factor, ds 2 z 0 = τ 2 d 2 [ ds 2 z 0 + O(1/τ) ] Period of thermal Green functions on Bjorken boundary scales as τ 1/(d 2). Since the period is inversely proportional to the temperature, the latter scales as τ 1/(d 2), in agreement with Bjorken hydrodynamics. The two hypersurfaces coincide at τ = 1 at which time T = T H.

31 Bjorken flow from an AdS Schwarzschild black hole 30 Exact result in 3d... Letting d 3, we obtain [Kajantie, Louko, Tahkokallio] t = ln τ, x 1 = y, z = z τ The transformation to Fefferman-Graham coordinates can be found exactly in this case, z = z F G τ ( 1 + µ 2 z F 2 ) 1 G τ 2 Higher-order corrections to Bjorken flow dictated by the black hole may be found by refining the transformation. This entails introducing corrections which are of o(1/τ) and making sure that the application of the transformation to the black hole metric does not introduce dependence of the metric on the rapidity and the transverse coordinates. can be done systematically at each order in the 1/τ expansion
