We consider a rotating quark-antiquark $(q\bar{q})$ pair in $\mathcal{N}=4$ thermal plasma. By using AdS/CFT correspondence, the properties of this system have been investigated. We study variation of rotating string radius at the boundary…
We initiate a study of anisotropic plasma at strong coupling using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We construct an exact dual geometry which represents a static uniform but anisotropic system and find, that although it is singular, it allows…
One cannot pull an open, curved string along itself. This fact is clearly reflected in the unwrapping motion of a string or chain as it is dragged around an object, and implies strong consequences for slender structures in passive…
