We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to discuss the response of an accelerated observer to the quantum vacuum fluctuations. In particular, we study heavy quarks probing a strongly coupled CFT by analysing strings moving in AdS. We propose…
The AdS/CFT correspondence is an exact duality between string theory in anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theories on its boundary. Inspired in this correspondence some relations between strings and non conformal field theories have…
We present an example of the string correspondence: a relation between two classical string solutions - one in Minkowski spacetime and another one in the AdS spacetime. The first solution describes a $2$d motion of the string with massive…
We study the stochastic motion of a relativistic trailing string in black hole AdS_5. The classical string solution develops a world-sheet horizon and we determine the associated Hawking radiation spectrum. The emitted radiation causes…
We propose a new and simple method of estimating the radiation due to an accelerated quark in a strongly coupled medium, within the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we offer a heuristic explanation of the collimated…
From a simple moving open string solution dual to a moving heavy quark with constant velocity in the Poincare AdS_3 spacetime, we construct an accerlerating open string solution dual to a heavy quark-antiquark pair accelerated in opposite…
The AdS/CFT correspondence between string theory in AdS space and conformal field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semi-classical model for strongly-coupled QCD which has scale invariance and dimensional counting at…
We consider a static open string in arbitrary stationary spacetime, which can represent a heavy quark-antiquark pair within the holographic framework or effective theory. Generally, the string profile is not symmetric with respect to the…
The AdS/CFT correspondence between conformal field theory and string states in an extended space-time has provided new insights into not only hadron spectra, but also their light-front wavefunctions. We show that there is an exact…
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence we discuss the gravity dual of a high energy collision in a strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ SYM gauge theory. We suggest a setting in which two colliding objects are made of non-dynamical heavy…

The problem of a heavy quark-anti-quark pair which have constant eternal acceleration in opposite directions in the vacuum of deconfined maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is studied both in perturbation theory and at strong…
We study string propagation on $AdS_3$ times a compact space from an ``old fashioned'' worldsheet point of view of perturbative string theory. We derive the spacetime CFT and its Virasoro and current algebras, thus establishing the…
After an introduction to jet phenomenology and tests of AdS/CFT at LHC we derive the heavy quark drag of a string dangling in a shock metric of AdS space, thus generalizing the AdS/CFT drag calculations in strongly coupled thermal media to…
We show how some features of the AdS/CFT correspondence for AdS_3 can easily be understood via standard world-sheet methods and 2d gravity like scaling arguments. To do this, we propose a stringy way for perturbing two-dimensional CFT's…
In this paper we investigate radiation by an accelerated quark in a strongly coupled gauge theory via AdS/CFT correspondence. According to AdS/CFT dictionary, we can read off energy density or energy flux of the radiation from asymptotic…
We study a few assorted questions about the behavior of strings on anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS), or equivalently, `flux tubes' in strongly-coupled conformal field theories (CFTs). For the case where the `flux tube' is sourced by a…
