Description

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we study non-equilibrium dynamics and the approach to the hydrodynamic region of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling. We numerically evolve over 600 randomly generated far-from equilibrium initial conditions, characterized by an initial entropy. Based on this fairly large sample we confirm previous observations of early thermalization in N=4 SYM at strong coupling. I will present our results concerning thermalization times and entropy production, as well as various correlations. A particulary interesting example is the square-root correlation of the hydrodynamization temperature and the entropy at hydrodynamization.
