abstract

We compute spectral densities of momentum and R-charge correlators in thermal $\N=4$ Yang Mills at strong coupling using the AdS/CFT correspondence. For $\omega \sim T$ and smaller, the spectral density differs markedly from perturbation theory; there is no kinetic theory peak. For large $\omega$, the spectral density oscillates around the zero-temperature result with an exponentially decreasing amplitude. Contrast this with QCD where the spectral density of the current-current correlator approaches the zero temperature result like $(T/\omega)^4$. Despite these marked differences with perturbation theory, in Euclidean space-time the correlators differ by only $\sim 10%$ from the free result. The implications for Lattice QCD measurements of transport are discussed.

  1. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

  2. Soft mode dynamics associated with QCD critical point and color superconductivity -- pseudogap, anomalous dilepton production and electric conductivity

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Soft modes tied to the QCD critical point and color superconductivity create a pseudogap in quark spectra and boost electric conductivity plus dilepton production above the transition temperatures.

  3. Effect of chiral imbalance on the electrical conductivity of hot and dense quark matter using Green-Kubo Method within the 2-flavour gauged NJL model

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Electrical conductivity to temperature ratio in quark matter decreases with increasing chiral chemical potential in the NJL model, most strongly at low temperature.

  4. What is the Quark-Gluon Plasma made of?

    nucl-th 2025-06 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    The quark-gluon plasma is best described as a strongly coupled liquid of massive, very short-lived quark and gluon quasiparticles, with sound (phonon) modes becoming the most well-defined collective excitation at low momenta.
