RHIC data have shown robust collective flows, including recent spectacular ``conical flow'' from quenched jets: that confirms that QGP above the critical line is in a strongly coupled regime. One way to study Non-Abelian classical strongly…
By using the AdS/CFT correspondence and G\"{o}del black hole background, we study the dynamics of heavy quark under a rotating plasma. In that case we follow Atmaja (JHEP 1304, 021, (2013)) about Brownian motion in BTZ black hole. In this…
