Holographic drag force in 5d Kerr-AdS black hole

We consider the 5d Kerr-AdS black hole as a gravity dual to rotating quark-gluon plasma. In the holographic prescription we calculate the drag force acting on a heavy quark. According to the holographic approach a heavy quark can be considered through the string in the gravity dual. We study the dynamics of the string for the Kerr-AdS backgrounds with one non-zero rotational parameter and two non-zero rotational parameters that are equal in magnitude. For the case of one non-zero rotational parameter we find good agreement with the prediction from the 4d case considered by arXiv:1012.3800.

Automated summary

In this study, the 5d Kerr-AdS black hole is considered as a gravity dual to rotating quark-gluon plasma. The drag force acting on a heavy quark is calculated using holographic prescription by studying the dynamics of the string in the gravity dual. Good agreement is found in the case of one non-zero rotational parameter with the predictions from previous research in the 4d case.
