On the exact solution of the accelerating string in $AdS_5$ space

Xiao, Bo-Wen

Understand

In this letter, the exact accelerating string solution of a heavy quark-antiquark pair is found in $AdS_5$ space.

  • On the accelerating string, there is a particular scale which separates the radiation and the heavy quark.
  • This scale is explicitly shown to be an event horizon in the proper frame of the heavy quark.
  • Furthermore, we find a new correspondence, which relates the horizon in $AdS_5$ space on the gravity theory side to the Unruh temperature in Minkowski space on the field theory side of the AdS/CFT correspondence.
