Holographic description of heavy-quark potentials in an inflationary braneworld scenario

Abstract

We study heavy-quark potential in an inflationary braneworld scenario. The scenario we consider is an (Euclidean) AdS 4 inflating braneworld embedded in a static Euclidean AdS 5. Using gauge/gravity duality we obtain a confining phase depending on the ratio between the Hubble parameter H in the braneworld and the brane tension σ. © 2009 SISSA.
