Universality of the diffusion wake in the gauge-string duality

Gubser, Steven S., Yarom, Amos

Understand

As a particle moves through a fluid, it may generate a laminar wake behind it.

In the gauge-string duality, we show that such a diffusion wake is created by a heavy quark moving through a thermal plasma and that it has a universal strength when compared to the total drag force exerted on the quark by the plasma.
The universality extends over all asymptotically anti-de Sitter supergravity constructions with arbitrary scalar matter.
We discuss how these results relate to the linearized hydrodynamic approximation and how they bear on our understanding of di-hadron correlators in heavy ion collisions.
