How do closed quantum many-body systems driven out of equilibrium eventually achieve
equilibration? And how do these systems thermalize, given that they comprise so many …

This is a complete and exhaustive review on the so-called holographic axion model—a
bottom-up holographic system characterized by the presence of a set of shift symmetric …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we probe the scale dependence of thermalization in
strongly coupled field theories following a sudden injection of energy via calculations of two …

The wide applications of higher dimensional gravity and gauge/gravity duality have fuelled
the search for new stationary solutions of the Einstein equation (possibly coupled to matter) …

A bstract We study the thermal partition function of quantum field theories on arbitrary
stationary background spacetime, and with arbitrary stationary background gauge fields, in …

The entanglement entropy has been historically studied by many authors in order to obtain
quantum mechanical interpretations of the gravitational entropy. The discovery of anti-de …

We study the conductivity and shear viscosity tensors of a strongly coupled N= 4 super-Yang-
Mills plasma which is kept anisotropic by a θ parameter that depends linearly on one of the …

We extend our analysis of a IIB supergravity solution dual to a spatially anisotropic finite-
temperature\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) super Yang-Mills plasma. The solution is static, possesses an …
