Strongly coupled non-Abelian plasmas in a magnetic field
Keywords in English
Holography
magnetic field
quantum chromodynamics
viscosity
Abstract in English
In this dissertation we use the gauge/gravity duality approach to study the dynamics of strongly coupled non-Abelian plasmas. Ultimately, we want to understand the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), whose scientifc interest by the scientific community escalated exponentially after its discovery in the 2000's through the collision of ultrarelativistic heavy ions. One can enrich the dynamics of the QGP by adding an external field, such as the baryon chemical potential (needed to study the QCD phase diagram), or a magnetic field. In this dissertation, we choose to investigate the magnetic effects. Indeed, there are compelling evidences that strong magnetic fields of the order $eB\sim 10 m_\pi^2$ are created in the early stages of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The chosen observable to scan possible effects of the magnetic field on the QGP was the viscosity, due to the famous result $\eta/s=1/4\pi$ obtained via holography. In a first approach we use a caricature of the QGP, the $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills plasma to calculate the deviations of the viscosity as we add a magnetic field. We must emphasize, though, that a magnetized plasma has a priori seven viscosity coefficients (five shears and two bulks). In addition, we also study in this same model the anisotropic heavy quark-antiquark potential in the presence of a magnetic field. In the end, we propose a phenomenological holographic QCD-like model, which is built upon the lattice QCD data, to study the thermodynamics and the viscosity of the QGP with an external strong magnetic field.

Abstract in Portuguese
Nesta dissertação utilizamos uma abordagem via dualidade gauge/gravity para estudar a dinâmica de plasmas não-Abelianos fortemente interagentes. Nosso objetivo último visa aplicações para o plasma de quarks e glúons (QGP), cujo interesse científico cresceu exponencialmente depois de sua descoberta em meados dos anos 2000 ao colidir-se íons ultrarelativísticos. Podemos enriquecer a dinâmica do QGP ao adicionarmos campos externos, como o potencial químico (para exploração do diagrama de fases hadrônico), ou um campo magnético. Nesta dissertação, tomamos como norte a exploração dos efeitos magnéticos. De fato, acredita-se que campos magnéticos da ordem de $eB\sim 10 m_\pi^2$ sejam criados nos estágios iniciais do QGP. O observável escolhido para sondar possíveis efeitos do campo magnético no QGP foi a viscosidade, em partes pelo famoso resultado $\eta/s=1/4\pi$ obtido holograficamente. Utilizamos num primeiro momento uma caricatura da QCD, a $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills para calcular o que muda na viscosidade com o advento do campo magnético. Devemos salientar, contudo, que um plasma altamente magnetizado possui a priori sete coeficientes de viscosidade (cinco de cisalhamento e duas volumétricas). Também exploramos, nesse mesmo modelo, o potencial de um par pesado de quark-antiquark na presença de um campo magnético. Por fim, propomos um modelo holográfico fenomenológico mais semelhante a QCD, sendo ele ``calibrado'' pelos dados da QCD na rede, para estudar a termodinâmica e a viscosidade do QGP imerso num forte campo magnético.
