The thermalisation of a strongly-coupled plasma is studied through the AdS/CFT correspondence. The system starts behaving as in viscous hydrodynamics shortly after the end of the perturbation. Local and nonlocal probes are used to…
The determination of phase behavior and, in particular, the nature of phase transitions in two-dimensional systems is often clouded by finite size effects and by access to the appropriate thermodynamic regime. We address these issues using…
