Meson Excitation at Finite Chemical Potential
We consider a probe stable meson in the holographic quark-gluon plasma at
zero temperature and chemical potential. Due to the energy injection into the
plasma, the temperature and chemical potential are increased to arbitrary
finite values and the meson is also excited. Excitation time tex is the time at
which the meson falls into the final excited state. We study the effect of
various parameters of theory on the excitation time and observe that for larger
values of final temperature and chemical potential the excitation time
increases. Furthermore, our outcomes show that the more stable mesons are
excited sooner.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, references added, appendix added, typos

A D2-brane in the Penrose limits of AdS(4)x CP(3)
We consider a D2-brane in the pp-wave backgrounds obtained from
AdSCP when electric and magnetic fields have been turned on. Upon
fixing the light-cone gauge, light-cone Hamiltonian and BPS configurations are
obtained. In particular we study BPS configurations with electric dipole on the
two sphere giant and a giant graviton rotating in transverse directions.
Moreover we show that the gauge field living on the D2-brane is replaced by a
scalar field in the light-cone Hamiltonian. We also present a matrix model by
regularizing (quantizing) 2-brane theory.Comment: 14 page
Meson Life Time in the Anisotropic Quark-Gluon Plasma
In the hot (an)isotropic plasma the meson life time is defined as a
time scale after which the meson dissociates. According to the gauge/gravity
duality, this time can be identified with the inverse of the imaginary part of
the frequency of the quasinormal modes, , in the (an)isotropic black
hole background. In the high temperature limit, we numerically show that at
fixed temperature(entropy density) the life time of the mesons
decreases(increases) as the anisotropy parameter raises. For general case, at
fixed temperature we introduce a polynomial function for and observe
that the meson life time decreases. Moreover, we realize that ,
where and are entropy density and temperature of the plasma
respectively, can be expressed as a function of anisotropy parameter over
temperature. Interestingly, this function is a Pad\'{e} approximant.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Holographic Equilibration under External Dynamical Electric Field
The holographic equilibration of a far-from-equilibrium strongly coupled
gauge theory is investigated. The dynamics of a probe D7-brane in an AdS-Vaidya
background is studied in the presence of an external time-dependent electric
field. Defining the equilibration times and , at which
condensation and current relax to their final equilibrated values, receptively,
the smallness of transition time or is enough to observe a
universal behaviour for re-scaled equilibration times
and . Moreover, regardless of the values for and
, also behaves universally for large enough value of
the ratio of the final electric field to final temperature. Then a simple
discussion of the static case reveals that . For an
out-of-equilibrium process, our numerical results show that, apart from the
cases for which is small, the static time ordering persists.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figure
