Holographic Thermalization in Charged Dilaton Anti-de Sitter Spacetime

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study holographic thermalization in spacetimes with a chemical potential and a non-trivial dilaton field. Three non-local observables are used to probe the whole process and investigate the effect of the ratio of the chemical potential over temperature χχ and the dilaton-Maxwell coupling constant αα. It is found that the saturation time is not always a monotonically increasing function of χχ, the situation depends on αα. When 0≤α≤10 \leqα\leq 1, larger χχ yields longer saturation time, while for α>1α>1, the situation becomes more complex. More interesting, we found that although αα indeed has influence on the whole thermalization process, it nearly does not affect the saturation time, which indicates the universality of the saturation time for the dual one-parameter field theories.
