We present a direct comparison studying equilibration through kinetic theory
at weak coupling and through holography at strong coupling in the same set-up. The set-up
starts with a homogeneous thermal state, which then smoothly transitions through an outof-equilibrium
phase to an expanding system undergoing boost-invariant flow. This first
apples-to-apples comparison of equilibration provides a benchmark for similar equilibration
processes in heavy-ion collisions, where the equilibration mechanism is still under debate.
We find that results at weak and strong coupling can be smoothly connected by simple,
empirical power-laws for the viscosity, equilibration time and entropy production of the
system.

Creation of quark-gluon plasma droplets with three distinct geometries
PHENIX Collaboration (Nature Research, 2019)Experimental studies of the collisions of heavy nuclei at relativistic energies have established the properties of the quark–gluon plasma (QGP), a state of hot, dense nuclear matter in which quarks and gluons are not bound ... -
Approach to equilibrium of a quarkonium in a quark-gluon plasma
Blaizot, Jean-Paul; Escobedo Espinosa, Miguel (American Physical Society, 2018)We derive equations of motion for the reduced density matrix of a heavy quarkonium in contact with a quark-gluon plasma in thermal equilibrium. These equations allow in particular a proper treatment of the regime when the ... -
Quantum and Classical Dynamics of Heavy Quarks in a Quark-Gluon Plasma
Escobedo Espinosa, Miguel; Blaizot, Jean-Paul (Elsevier BV, 2019)Heavy quarkonium related observables are very useful to obtain information about the medium created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. In recent years the theoretical description of quarkonium in a medium has moved ... -
Spectral function of fermions in a highly occupied non-Abelian plasma
Boguslavski, K.; Lappi, T.; Mace, M.; Schlichting, S. (Elsevier BV, 2022)We develop a method to obtain fermion spectral functions non-perturbatively in a non-Abelian gauge theory with high occupation numbers of gauge fields. After recovering the free field case, we extract the spectral function ... -
Evolution of initial stage fluctuations in the glasma
Guerrero-Rodríguez, Pablo; Lappi, Tuomas (American Physical Society, 2021)We perform a calculation of the one- and two-point correlation functions of energy density and axial charge deposited in the glasma in the initial stage of a heavy ion collision at finite proper time. We do this by describing ...
