abstract

The damping of high momentum excitations in strongly coupled maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma is studied. Previous calculations of the asymptotic behavior of the quasinormal mode spectrum are extended and clarified. We confirm that subleading corrections to the lightlike dispersion relation $\omega({\bf q}) = |{\bf q}|$ have a universal $|{\bf q}|^{-1/3}$ form. Sufficiently narrow, weak planar shocks may be viewed as coherent superpositions of short wavelength quasinormal modes. The attenuation and evolution in profile of narrow planar shocks are examined as an application of our results.

  1. OPE = QNM

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5 of 10

    OPE and QNM representations of the mixed retarded correlator overlap in complex time, giving an explicit map, sum rules, and new QNM asymptotics for large-N thermal CFTs.

  2. Near-Light-Cone Nonhydrodynamic Structure from Boosted Hydrodynamics

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Large boosts select near-light-cone nonhydrodynamic singularities that set the hydrodynamic radius of convergence, with RTA giving a finite offset and holography a vanishing one after Lorentz rescaling.

  3. Analytic approaches to perturbations of strongly coupled Yang-Mills plasma

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Seiberg-Witten instanton expansions combined with exact WKB period integrals allow analytic computation and continuation of quasinormal modes from large q to q=0.

  4. Thermal holographic correlators and KMS condition

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Imposing KMS periodicity on the holographic stress-tensor sector determines the double-trace sector, and the image-sum and Borel-resummed sum-rule routes agree.
