Large entropy production inside black holes: a simple model
Particles dropped into a rotating black hole can collide near the inner
horizon with enormous energies. The entropy produced by these collisions can be
several times larger than the increase in the horizon entropy due to the
addition of the particles. In this paper entropy is produced by releasing large
numbers of neutrons near the outer horizon of a rotating black hole such that
they collide near the inner horizon at energies similar to those achieved at
the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The increase in horizon entropy is
approximately 80 per dropped neutron pair, while the entropy produced in the
collisions is 160 per neutron pair. The collision entropy is produced inside
the horizon, so this excess entropy production does not violate Bousso's bound
limiting the entropy that can go through the black hole's horizon. The
generalized laws of black hole thermodynamics are obeyed. No individual
observer inside the black hole sees a violation of the second law of
thermodynamicsComment: 10 page

Simulation of Light Antinucleus-Nucleus Interactions
Creations of light anti-nuclei (anti-deuterium, anti-tritium, anti-He3 and
anti-He4) are observed by collaborations at the LHC and RHIC accelerators. Some
cosmic ray experiments are aimed to find the anti-nuclei in cosmic rays. To
support the experimental studies of the anti-nuclei a Monte Carlo simulation of
anti-nuclei interactions with matter is implemented in the Geant4 toolkit. The
implementation combines practically all known theoretical approaches to the
problem of antinucleon-nucleon interactions.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Shock waves in strongly coupled plasmas
Shock waves are supersonic disturbances propagating in a fluid and giving
rise to dissipation and drag. Weak shocks, i.e., those of small amplitude, can
be well described within the hydrodynamic approximation. On the other hand,
strong shocks are discontinuous within hydrodynamics and therefore probe the
microscopics of the theory. In this paper we consider the case of the strongly
coupled N=4 plasma whose microscopic description, applicable for scales smaller
than the inverse temperature, is given in terms of gravity in an asymptotically
space. In the gravity approximation, weak and strong shocks should be
described by smooth metrics with no discontinuities. For weak shocks we find
the dual metric in a derivative expansion and for strong shocks we use
linearized gravity to find the exponential tail that determines the width of
the shock. In particular we find that, when the velocity of the fluid relative
to the shock approaches the speed of light the penetration depth
scales as . We compare the results with second
order hydrodynamics and the Israel-Stewart approximation. Although they all
agree in the hydrodynamic regime of weak shocks, we show that there is not even
qualitative agreement for strong shocks. For the gravity side, the existence of
shock waves implies that there are disturbances of constant shape propagating
on the horizon of the dual black holes.Comment: 47 pages, 8 figures; v2:typos corrected, references adde
Weinberg like sum rules revisited
The generalized Weinberg sum rules containing the difference of isovector
vector and axial-vector spectral functions saturated by both finite and
infinite number of narrow resonances are considered. We summarize the status of
these sum rules and analyze their overall agreement with phenomenological
Lagrangians, low-energy relations, parity doubling, hadron string models, and
experimental data.Comment: 31 pages, noticed misprints are corrected, references are added, and

D-Branes on the Conifold and N=1 Gauge/Gravity Dualities
We review extensions of the AdS/CFT correspondence to gauge/ gravity
dualities with N=1 supersymmetry. In particular, we describe the gauge/gravity
dualities that emerge from placing D3-branes at the apex of the conifold. We
consider first the conformal case, with discussions of chiral primary operators
and wrapped D-branes. Next, we break the conformal symmetry by adding a stack
of partially wrapped D5-branes to the system, changing the gauge group and
introducing a logarithmic renormalization group flow. In the gravity dual, the
effect of these wrapped D5-branes is to turn on the flux of 3-form field
strengths. The associated RR 2-form potential breaks the U(1) R-symmetry to
and we study this phenomenon in detail. This extra flux also leads to
deformation of the cone near the apex, which describes the chiral symmetry
breaking and confinement in the dual gauge theory.Comment: Based on I.R.K.'s lectures at the Les Houches Summer School Session

Long-Range Rapidity Correlations in Heavy Ion Collisions at Strong Coupling from AdS/CFT
We use AdS/CFT correspondence to study two-particle correlations in heavy ion
collisions at strong coupling. Modeling the colliding heavy ions by shock waves
on the gravity side, we observe that at early times after the collision there
are long-range rapidity correlations present in the two-point functions for the
glueball and the energy-momentum tensor operators. We estimate rapidity
correlations at later times by assuming that the evolution of the system is
governed by ideal Bjorken hydrodynamics, and find that glueball correlations in
this state are suppressed at large rapidity intervals, suggesting that
late-time medium dynamics can not "wash out" the long-range rapidity
correlations that were formed at early times. These results may provide an
insight on the nature of the "ridge" correlations observed in heavy ion
collision experiments at RHIC and LHC, and in proton-proton collisions at LHC.Comment: 32 pages, 2 figures; v2: typos corrected, references adde
The QGP phase in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
The dynamics of partons, hadrons and strings in relativistic nucleus-nucleus
collisions is analyzed within the novel Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD)
transport approach, which is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model for
partons (DQPM) matched to reproduce recent lattice-QCD results - including the
partonic equation of state - in thermodynamic equilibrium. The transition from
partonic to hadronic degrees of freedom is described by covariant transition
rates for the fusion of quark-antiquark pairs or three quarks (antiquarks),
respectively, obeying flavor current-conservation, color neutrality as well as
energy-momentum conservation. The PHSD approach is applied to nucleus-nucleus
collisions from low SIS to RHIC energies. The traces of partonic interactions
are found in particular in the elliptic flow of hadrons as well as in their
transverse mass spectra.Comment: To be published by Springer in Proceedings of the International

Jet quenching
We present a comprehensive review of the physics of hadron and jet production
at large transverse momentum in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.
Emphasis is put on experimental and theoretical "jet quenching" observables
that provide direct information on the (thermo)dynamical properties of hot and
dense QCD matter.Comment: Springer Verlag. Landolt-Boernstein Vol. 1-23A. 49 pages. 36 figures.

Anomalies and the chiral magnetic effect in the Sakai-Sugimoto model
In the chiral magnetic effect an imbalance in the number of left- and
right-handed quarks gives rise to an electromagnetic current parallel to the
magnetic field produced in noncentral heavy-ion collisions. The chiral
imbalance may be induced by topologically nontrivial gluon configurations via
the QCD axial anomaly, while the resulting electromagnetic current itself is a
consequence of the QED anomaly. In the Sakai-Sugimoto model, which in a certain
limit is dual to large-N_c QCD, we discuss the proper implementation of the QED
axial anomaly, the (ambiguous) definition of chiral currents, and the
calculation of the chiral magnetic effect. We show that this model correctly
contains the so-called consistent anomaly, but requires the introduction of a
(holographic) finite counterterm to yield the correct covariant anomaly.
Introducing net chirality through an axial chemical potential, we find a
nonvanishing vector current only before including this counterterm. This seems
to imply the absence of the chiral magnetic effect in this model. On the other
hand, for a conventional quark chemical potential and large magnetic field,
which is of interest in the physics of compact stars, we obtain a nontrivial
result for the axial current that is in agreement with previous calculations
and known exact results for QCD.Comment: 35 pages, 4 figures, v2: added comments about frequency-dependent
