Entropy production in collisions of gravitational shock waves and of heavy ions

Open access
Gubser, Steven S., Pufu, Silviu S., Yarom, Amos·2008·Physical Review D

Abstract

We calculate the area of a marginally trapped surface formed by a head-on collision of gravitational shock waves in ${\mathrm{AdS}}_{D}$. We use this to obtain a lower bound on the entropy produced after the collision. A comparison to entropy production in heavy-ion collisions is included. We also discuss an $O(D\ensuremath{-}2)$ remnant of conformal symmetry, which is present in a class of gravitational shockwave collisions in ${\mathrm{AdS}}_{D}$ and which might be approximately realized (with $D=5$) in central heavy-ion collisions.

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.
