Homogeneous isotropization and equilibration of a strongly coupled plasma with a critical point

Abstract We use holography to investigate the process of homogeneous isotropization and thermalization in a strongly coupled N=4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ Super Yang-Mills plasma charged under a U(1) subgroup of the global SU(4) R-symmetry which features a critical point in its phase diagram. Isotropizati...
