Using the gauge-string duality, I compute two-point functions of the force acting on an external quark moving through a finite temperature bath of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. I comment on the possible relevance of the string theory calculations to heavy quarks propagating through a quark-gluon plasma.

  1. A Lindbladian for holographic Brownian motion

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Derives and analyzes a Lindbladian for holographic Brownian motion in BTZ and AdS5 black brane backgrounds from the influence functional.

  2. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 accept novelty 7.0

    Retarded correlators of bulk scalars and Wilson-line displacement operators exhibit bouncing singularities at t_c=β/2(1+i) with matching WKB and asymptotic OPE data, implying a universal high-frequency factorization.

  3. Stochastic Dynamics of Heavy Quarks in Strongly Coupled Plasma

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Kolmogorov dynamics for heavy quarks in hot plasma shows significantly delayed large-momentum equilibration compared to Fokker-Planck with matched drag, due to rare low-momentum-loss events.

  4. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

  5. Towards compressed baryonic matter densities: D meson diffusion

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Using relaxation-time kinetic theory with a chiral hadronic model, the authors estimate that D meson spatial diffusion in dense nuclear matter decreases rapidly in a dilute-gas regime and mildly in a degenerate-gas regime.

  7. Holographic Schwinger-Keldysh effective action for heavy quarks in confinement and deconfinement phases

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Derives quadratic effective actions for heavy quarks in confinement (quark-antiquark pair) and deconfinement (single moving quark) using the SvR holographic SK framework.
