No-Drag String Configurations for Steadily Moving Quark-Antiquark Pairs in a Thermal Bath

Philip C. Argyres, Mohammad Edalati, Justin F. Vazquez-Poritz

Abstract

We investigate the behavior of stationary string configurations on a five-dimensional AdS black hole background which correspond to quark-antiquark pairs steadily moving in an N=4 super Yang-Mills thermal bath. There are many branches of solutions, depending on the quark velocity and separation as well as on whether Euclidean or Lorentzian configurations are examined.
