Evolution of Wilson loop in time-dependentN=4super Yang-Mills plasma

Abstract: Using holography we have studied the evolution of Wilson loop of a quark-antiquark pair in a dynamical strongly coupled plasma. The time-dependent plasma, whose dynamics is originated from the energy injection, is dual to AdS-Vaidya background. The quark-antiquark pair is represented by the endpoints of a string stretched from the boundary to the bulk. The evolution of the system is studied by evaluating the expectation value of the Wilson loop, throughout the process. Our results show that the evolution of Wi… Show more

“…These oscillations indicate that bound state is excited by energy injection. This result is in agreement with the similar one reported in [10]. Note that since there is no energy dissipation, the excited meson is stable.…”

“…The holographic dual of the rectangular Wilson loop is given by a classical string suspended from two points (corresponding to quark and anti-quark), hanging down in extra dimension with appropriate boundary conditions. Using this idea, static potential energy is studied in different gauge theories with holographic duals and it recently generalizes to a time-dependent case in [10]. In the time-dependent case, the time evolution of the expectation value of the Wilson loop during the energy injection into the gauge theory is investigated.…”

“…The largest penetration depth ∆x reached by a quark with energy E before thermalizing turns out to be an increasing function of the energy: the scaling law ∆x ∝ E 1/3 has been determined [19], and an analytical proof that the penetration depth for a light quark is bounded by the curve ∆x = const · E 1/3 has been provided [18]. For light quarks, the energy loss has been found to be sensitive to the initial conditions, and a peak before thermalization has been observed, sometimes denoted as explosive burst of energy [18].For a quarkonium moving in the plasma, the screening length has been evaluated by a Wilson loop computation [20][21][22], and the Wilson loop in the Vaidya geometry has also been examined [23]. Here, we look at the real-time evolution of a string stretched between two endpoints (representing the heavy quark and antiquark) kept close to the boundary.…”
