We study a `dressed' or `composite' quark in strongly-coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills (SYM), making use of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We show that the standard string dynamics nicely captures the physics of the quark and its surrounding…

We present an accurate and efficient real-space formulation of the Hellmann-Feynman stress tensor for $\mathcal{O}(N)$ Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). While applicable at any temperature, the formulation is most efficient at high…

Using holographic renormalization, we study correlation functions throughout a renormalization group flow between two-dimensional superconformal field theories. The ultraviolet theory is an N=(4,4) CFT which can be thought of as a symmetric…

We present numerical calculations of a four-point dynamic susceptibility, chi_4(t), for the Kob-Andersen Lennard-Jones mixture as a function of temperature T and density rho. Over a relevant range of T and rho, the full t-dependence of…

We present a calculation of two-point correlation functions of the stress-energy tensor in the strongly-coupled, confining gauge theory which is holographically dual to the AdS soliton geometry. The fact that the AdS soliton smoothly caps…

We determine a next-to-leading order result for the correlator of the shear stress operator in high-temperature Yang-Mills theory. The computation is performed via an ultraviolet expansion, valid in the limit of small distances or large…

Determining the transport properties of Quark-Gluon Plasma is one of the most important aspects of relativistic heavy ion collision studies. Field-theoretical calculations of the transport coefficients such as the shear and bulk viscosities…

We study the gravitational duals of $d$-dimensional Yang-Mills theories with $d\leq 6$ in the presence of an ${\cal O} (N^2)$ density of heavy quarks, with $N$ the number of colors. For concreteness we focus on maximally supersymmetric…

We compute at strong coupling the large N correlation functions of supersymmetric Wilson loops in large representations of the gauge group with local operators of N=4 super Yang-Mills. The gauge theory computation of these correlators is…

We use the anti-de Sitter (AdS) conformal field theory correspondence to calculate the conserved charges and the Euclidean actions of the charged rotating black string in four dimensions both in the canonical and the grand-canonical…

As part of the Snowmass community planning exercise, we highlight an ongoing program of research into the structure of scattering amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, particularly in the planar limit of a large number of colors. This…

In this note we establish the explicit relation between correlation functions in ${\cal N} = 4$ SUSY Yang--Mills theory on $S^3\times R$ in a double scaling limit and scattering amplitudes of the String Theory on the pp-wave background. The…

We argue, using the AdS/CFT correspondence, that the transient dynamics of the shear stress tensor in a strongly coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM plasma is not described by relaxation-type, fluid dynamical equations: at long times the equations…

The evaluation of hydrodynamic transport coefficients in relativistic field theory, and the emergence of an effective kinetic theory description, is examined. Even in a weakly-coupled scalar field theory, interesting subtleties arise at…

We measure correlation functions of the nonperturbatively renormalized energy-momentum tensor in $N_f=2+1$ full QCD at finite temperature by applying the gradient flow method both to the gauge and quark fields. Our main interest is to study…

We show that the late-time expansion of the energy density of $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma at infinite coupling undergoing Bjorken flow takes the form of a multi-parameter transseries. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we…

We study the hydrodynamics of the high-energy phase of Little String Theory. The poles of the retarded two-point function of the stress energy tensor contain information about the speed of sound and the kinetic coefficients, such as shear…

We investigate the thermodynamics of asymptotically Anti-de Sitter charged and rotating black strings in extended phase space, in which the cosmological constant is interpreted as thermodynamic pressure and the thermodynamic volume is…

We apply the previously proposed scheme of approximately self-consistent hard-thermal-loop resummations in the entropy of high-temperature QCD to N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theories and compare with a (uniquely determined) R[4,4]…
