Holographyc Thermalization

Jornada; Ten Years of the Strings@Ar Network Workshop; 2013

We investigate the thermalization time scale in the planar limit of the SU(N) TeX SYM plasma at strong yet finite ?t Hooft coupling by considering its supergravity dual description, including the full TeX (α′3) type IIB string theory corrections. We also discuss on the effects of the leading non-planar corrections. We use extended geometric probes in the bulk which are dual to different non-local observables in the TeX SYM theory. This is carried out within the framework of dynamical holographic thermalization.
