In the hot (an)isotropic plasma the meson life time $\tau$ is defined as a time scale after which the meson dissociates. According to the gauge/gravity duality, this time can be identified with the inverse of the imaginary part of the…
We study Wilson loops in holographic duals of the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM quark-gluon plasma. For this we consider the Schwarzschild-$AdS_5$ and Kerr-$AdS_5$ black holes, which are dual to the non-rotating and rotating QGPs, correspondingly.…
