1 Hadrons in a holographic approach to finite temperature (and density) QCD Pietro Colangelo INFN - Sezione di Bari - Italy in collaboration with F. De Fazio, F. Giannuzzi, F. Jugeau, S. Nicotri EMMI Workshop: Quarkonia in Deconfined Matter 2011 Acitrezza September 2011

2 Holographic methods inspired to the AdS/CFT duality have been applied to several cases of interest: η/s jet quenching photon emission rate thermodynamic functions, AdS/QCD at finite temperature/density what about the deconfinement line in the T µ plane? what about hadrons increasing T and µ? Son Starinets Stephanov Policastro Rajagopal Wiedemann Gursoy Kiritzis Mateos Peschanski Yaffe Iancu Casalderrey-Solana. Outline: - about the deconfinement line in the T- µ plane - hadrons at T=0 in a holographic approach to QCD - medium effects: hadronic spectral functions

3 N=4 SYM with gauge group SU(N C ) at large N C in 4d The AdS/CFT correspondence d=10 Type IIB string theory in AdS 5 x S 5 g YM, N c g s, R/ s Maldacena Gubser Klebanov Polyakov Witten more general: equivalence (duality) between a gravity theory defined in AdS d+1 x C (C a compact manifold) and a conformal field theory (CFT) defined on the boundary of AdS d+1 (M d ) ds 2 = R2 z 2 ( dt 2 + d x 2 + dz 2 ) + R 2 dω 5 AdS 5 x S 5

4 Peculiar role of the d+1 dimensional Anti de Sitter (AdS d+1 ) space: - solution of Einstein s eqs. in vacuum with negative cosmological constant (Λ =-6/R 2 ) - negative curvature - if embedded in R d+2 (with coordinates (X 0, X d+1 ) ) it is defined by ( X 0 ) 2 d X i i=1 ( ) 2 + ( X d +1 ) 2 = R 2 AdS d+1 embedded in R d+2 - group of isometries SO(2,d) ( (d+2)(d+1)/2 generators) - it has a boundary M d - on the boundary M d the coordinate transformation belonging to SO(2,d) are conformal transformations ( (d+2)(d+1)/2 generators)

5 The AdS/CFT correspondence matching the parameters: 2 g YM 2 = g s λ = g YM N c = R s 4 g YM 0 N c λ g s 0 R s large t Hooft coupling limit in gauge theory supergravity limit in the string theory dynamics of a 4d CFT encoded by classical gravity in 5d

7 AdS/CFT and QCD AdS/CFT correspondence conjectured for conformal and supersymmetric field theories in M 4 QCD is not conformal (neither supersymmetric): it has a mass scale Λ QCD however, in the UV, neglecting quark mass and radiative effects, QCD is a nearly conformal theory QCD a candidate for a description inspired by AdS/CFT conditions to be implemented: UV -> conformal behaviour -> AdS holographic space IR -> modification (at least) of the AdS geometry of the bulk AdS/QCD: extradimensional models, motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture, developed to compute QCD observables

30 Conclusions Deconfinement line in the T-µ plane by AdS/RN At T=0 some hadronic features (mass, decay constants, strong couplings of glueballs, scalar and vector mesons) reproduced At T>0 in the AdS/BH phase: thermal effects at low temperatures Similar effects for spectral functions at finite density and low T If the Hawking-Page transition occurs: the deconfinement HP temperature is close to the generally accepted value; hadrons melt at the deconfinement point
