Heavy quark diffusion in strongly coupledN=4Yang-Mills theory
Open accessAbstract
We express the heavy quark diffusion coefficient as the temporal variation of a Wilson line along the Schwinger-Keldysh contour. This generalizes the classical formula for diffusion as a force-force correlator to a non-Abelian theory. We use this formula to compute the diffusion coefficient in strongly coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills theory by studying the fluctuations of a string in ${\mathrm{AdS}}_{5}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{S}_{5}$. The string solution spans the full Kruskal plane and gives access to contour correlations. The diffusion coefficient is $D=2/\sqrt{\ensuremath{\lambda}}\ensuremath{\pi}T$ and is therefore parametrically smaller than momentum diffusion, $\ensuremath{\eta}/(e+p)=1/4\ensuremath{\pi}T$. The quark mass must be much greater than $T\sqrt{\ensuremath{\lambda}}$ in order to treat the quark as a heavy quasiparticle. The result is discussed in the context of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) experiments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
