Emission of linearly polarized photons in a strongly coupled magnetized plasma from the gauge/gravity correspondence

Emission of linearly polarized photons in a strongly coupled magnetized plasma from the gauge/gravity correspondence

We use holographic methods to show that photons emitted by a strongly coupled plasma subject to a magnetic field are linearly polarized regardless of their four-momentum, except when they propagate along the field direction. The gravitational dual is constructed using a 5D truncation of 10-dimension...
