Boost invariant flow, black hole formation, and far-from-equilibrium dynamics in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Using gauge/gravity duality, we study the creation and evolution of boost-invariant anisotropic, strongly-coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. In the dual gravitational description, this corresponds to horizon formation in a geometry driven to be anisotropic by a time-dependent change in boundary conditions.
