We compute the gravitational quasinormal modes of the global AdS_5-Schwarzschild solution. We show how to use the holographic dual of these modes to describe a thermal plasma of finite extent expanding in a slightly anisotropic fashion. We compare these flows with the behavior of quark-gluon plasmas produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions by estimating the elliptic flow coefficient and the thermalization time.

  1. Quasinormal modes of Proca and Maxwell fields in $d$-dimensional Schwarzschild-AdS black holes

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    Scalar-type Maxwell perturbations in large d≥5 Schwarzschild-AdS black holes exhibit purely imaginary low-frequency quasinormal modes, confirmed numerically and by asymptotic matching.
