Abstract
|
In this talk I will apply the gauge/gravity duality (which will be briefly reviewed) to the study of a strongly coupled, spatially anisotropic N=4super Yang-Mills plasma. To this end, I will present a type IIB supergravity solution dual to the plasma and discuss its thermodynamics. The phase diagram exhibits regions with instabilities reminiscent of those of weakly coupled plasmas. I will comment on similarities with QCD at finite baryon density and will also discuss how the anisotropy affects various observables, such as energy loss, screening length, and photon production.
