Stirring Strongly Coupled Plasma

We determine the energy it takes to move a test quark along a circle of radius L with angular frequency ω through the strongly coupled plasma of $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) theory. We find that for most values of L and ω the energy deposited by stirring the plasma in this way is...
