Boost invariant flow, black hole formation, and far-from-equilibrium dynamics in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

Paul M. Chesler, Laurence G. Yaffe

Published 2009-06-24, updated 2009-07-20Version 2

Using gauge/gravity duality, we study the creation and evolution of boost invariant anisotropic, strongly coupled 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.
