We study the matter produced in heavy ion collisions assuming that this matter is strongly interacting and employing AdS/CFT correspondence to investigate its dynamics. At late proper times $\tau$ we show that Bjorken hydrodynamics solution, obtained recently by Janik and Peschanski using gauge-gravity duality, can be singled out by simply requiring that the metric tensor is a real and...

Using a generalization of the AdS/CFT correspondence, it is possible to determine
thermodynamic properties of strongly coupled field theories. Aiming for a description
of the characteristics of systems such as the quark gluon plasma, we study the
gauge/gravity dual of a finite
temperature field theory at finite isospin chemical potential. Therefore we introduce
a probe of two coincident...

We consider flavors in a holographic description of a boost-invariant viscous plasma by embedding
D7 branes into the dual geometry. We obtain the (time-dependent) chiral quark condensate and
meson spectra. To first order both agree with the adiabatic approximation, i.e. the prediction from
the static AdS black hole. For very late times the supersymmetric configurations are approached.
