Description
We study the complex potential between a heavy quark and an anti-quark at finite temperature in large Nc and large ’tHooft coupling limit through the gauge/gravity duality[1]. The complex potential at separation r is obtained from a direct analytic continuation of the thermal Wilson loop which is always real in the Euclidean metric. We confirm that there is an imaginary part at finite temperature, which grows as a function of r. We also compare our result with the one from the recent lattice QCD simulation[2].
The gauge/gravity duality suggests the importance of competition between the real part and the imaginary part of the potential for the strongly coupled quark gluon plasma.
