Horizon formation and far-from-equilibrium isotropization in supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma

Paul M. Chesler, Laurence G. Yaffe

Published 2008-12-10, updated 2009-07-20Version 2

Using gauge/gravity duality, we study the creation and evolution of anisotropic, homogeneous strongly coupled $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. In the dual gravitational description, this corresponds to horizon formation in a geometry driven to be anisotropic by a time-dependent change in boundary conditions.
