Horizon formation and far-from-equilibrium isotropization in a supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma.
Using gauge-gravity duality, we study the creation and evolution of anisotropic, homogeneous strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. In the dual gravitational description, this corresponds to horizon formation in a geometry driven to be anisotropic by a time-dependent change in boundary conditions.
