OUTLINES • Motivations • Holographic potential and melting T • Subleading order potential from AdS/CFT • Conclusions
Motivations Many interesting phenomena in QCD lie in the strongly-coupled region. Lattice: problematic with finite chemical potentioal, time- dependent problems Dyson-Schwinger Eq. AdS/CFT: Notable success in RHIC physics
AdS/CFT applied to RHIC physics • Viscosity, /s. • Thermodynamics. • Jet quenching • Photon production, Friction • Heavy quarkonium • Hardron spectrum (ADS/QCD) Heavy quark potential probes the confinement in hadronic matter and meson melting in plasma

Potential from AdS/CFT According to the holographic principle, the thermal average of a WL operator in 4D N=4 SUSY YM at large N_c and large 't Hooft coupling corresponds to the minimum area of the string world sheet in the 5D AdS metric with a Euclidean signature
