Hydrodynamics of the cascading plasma

Buchel, Alex

Understand

The cascading gauge theory of Klebanov et.al realizes a soluble example of gauge/string correspondence in a non-conformal setting.

Such a gauge theory has a strong coupling scale Lambda, below which it confines with a chiral symmetry breaking.
A holographic description of a strongly coupled cascading gauge theory plasma is represented by a black brane solution of type IIB supergravity on a conifold with fluxes.
A characteristic parameter controlling the high temperature expansion of such plasma is 1/ln(T/Lambda).
