Abstract
Gauge theory/string theory holographic correspondence for supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory is well under control in the planar limit, and for large (infinitely large) ’t Hooft coupling, . Certain aspects of the correspondence can be extended including corrections. There are no reliable first principle computations of the plasma nonequilibrium properties beyond the stated order. We show extreme sensitivity of the nonhydrodynamic spectra of holographic SYM plasma to corrections, challenging any conclusions reached from “resummation” of corrections.
