Holographic thermalisation of strongly-coupled systems

Abstract

The thermalisation of a strongly-coupled plasma is studied through the AdS/CFT correspondence. The system starts behaving as in viscous hydrodynamics shortly after the end of the perturbation. Local and nonlocal probes are used to characterise the process towards equilibrium.
