t x Moving string is “straighten” by the coordinates c(u)=v u=1/g “World sheet black hole” at uws=1/g At v=0 both horizons coincide. Coordinate singularity!! Wilson Lines in AdS/CFT t v=0 x=vt x u=e u0=1 Horizon
Kruskal Map As in usual black holes, (t, u) are only defined for u<u0 Global (Kruskal) coordinates V u=1/r2 U Two copies of the (t,u) patches “time reverted” In the presence of black branes the space has two boundaries (L and R) . There are type 1 and type 2 sources. These correspond to the doubling of the fields Maldacena Son, Herzog (02)
String Solution in Global Coordinates v=0 smooth crossing v≠0 logarithmic divergence in past horizon. Artifact! (probes moving from -) String boundaries in L, R universes are type 1, 2 Wilson Lines. Transverse fluctuations transmit from L R
String Fluctuations The fluctuations “live” in the world-sheet In the world-sheet horizon they behave as infalling outgoing Extension to Kruskal analyticity cond. Negative frequency modes infalling Positive frequency modes outgoing (Son+Herzog) Imposing analyticity in the WS horizon
Check: Fluctuation Dissipation theorem Slowly moving heavy quark Brownian motion Drag and noise are not independent. Einstein relation Direct computation of the drag force (Herzog, Karch, Kovtun, Kozcaz and Yaffe ; Gubser) The string needs work over the tension to bend. This is the momentum lost by the quark same k ! Fluctuation-dissipation theorem

Broadening at Finite Velocity It is dependent on the energy of the quark! Diverges in the ultra-relativistic limit. But the computation is only valid for (maximum value of the electric field the brane can support) There is a new scale in the problem It almost behaves like a temperature (KMS like relations) Is it a (weird) blue shift? Non trivial matching with light cone value Liu, Rajagopal, Wiedemann
Conclusions We have provided a “non-perturbative” definition of the momentum broadening as derivatives of a Wilson Line This definition is suited to compute k in N=4 SYM by means of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The calculated k scales as and takes much larger values than the perturbative extrapolation for QCD. The results agree, via the Einstein relations, with the computations of the drag coefficient. This can be considered as an explicit check that AdS/CFT satisfy the fluctuation dissipation theorem. The momentum broadening k at finite v diverges as but the calculation is limited to
