Experimental and theoretical motivation
Heavy ion collision program at RHIC, LHC (2000-2008-2020 ??)
Studies of hot and dense nuclear matter
Abundance of experimental results, poor theoretical understanding:
- the collision apparently creates a fireball of “quark-gluon fluid”
- need to understand both thermodynamics and kinetics
-in particular, need theoretical predictions for parameters entering equations of relativistic hydrodynamics – viscosity etc –
computed from the underlying microscopic theory (thermal QCD)
-this is difficult since the fireball is a strongly interacting nuclear fluid,not a dilute gas

Gauge/gravity dictionary determines correlators of gauge-invariant operators from gravity
(in the regime where gravity description is valid!)
For example, one can compute the correlators such as
by solving the equations describing fluctuations of the 10-dimgravity background involving AdS-Schwarzschild black hole
Maldacena; Gubser, Klebanov, Polyakov; Witten
![Page 8: Thermal spectral functions and holography](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681436b550346895dafeb57/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Computing finite-temperature correlation functions from gravity
Need to solve 5d e.o.m. of the dual fields propagating in asymptotically AdS space
Can compute Minkowski-space 4d correlators

Similarly, one can analyze another conserved quantity – energy-momentum tensor:
This is equivalent to analyzing fluctuations of energy and pressure
We obtain a dispersion relation for the sound wave:

has a “sound wave” pole at

The speed of sound coincides with the hydro prediction!

Non-equilibrium regime of thermal gauge theories is of interest for RHIC and early universe physics
This regime can be studied in perturbation theory, assuming the system is a weakly interacting one. However, this is often NOT the case. Nonperturbative approaches are needed.
Lattice simulations cannot be used directly for real-time processes.
Gauge theory/gravity duality CONJECTURE provides a theoretical tool to probe non-equilibrium, non-perturbative regime of SOME thermal gauge theories

Epilogue On the level of theoretical models, there exists a connection between near-equilibrium regime of certain strongly coupled thermal field theories and fluctuations of black holes
This connection allows us to compute transport coefficients for these theories
The result for the shear viscosity turns out to be universal for all such theories in the limit of infinitely strong coupling
At the moment, this method is the only theoretical tool available to study the near-equilibrium regime of strongly coupled thermal field theories
Stimulating for experimental/theoretical research in other fields
