Abstract
Gauge theory/string theory holographic correspondence for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is well under control in the planar limit, and for large (infinitely large) 't Hooft coupling, . Certain aspects of the correspondence can be extended including corrections. There are no reliable first principle computations of the plasma non-equilibrium properties beyond the stated order. We show extreme sensitivity of the non-hydrodynamic spectra of holographic SYM plasma to corrections, challenging any conclusions reached from 'resummation' of corrections.
