AdS/CFT Correspondence, Viscous Hydrodynamics and Time-Dependent D7-Brane Embedding

M.P. Heller, P. Surówka

AdS/CFT correspondence is used to model the dynamics of one-dimen- sional expansion of  N = 4 SYM plasma. Criterium of nonsingularity of the dual geometry is shown to fix both, large proper time dynamics (to be of the perfect fluid type) and subleading corrections to it (viscosity and relaxation time). Time-dependent D7-brane embedding is shown as a first step towards adding a fundamental matter into the expanding plasma.
