Description

The AdS/CFT duality has proven to be an useful tool in understanding properties of strongly coupled QFTs. However, the computational cost in performing real time evolutions in gravitational theories is generally expensive. In this talk I will use a large D effective theory to drastically simplify the study of collisions of Gaussian mass-density, as a model for holographic heavy ion collisions. I will study several collision scenarios identifying regimes of constant entropy growth and comment on its possible relation to chaos.
