Description:
We study the gauge/gravity dual of a finite temperature field theory at finite isospin chemical potential
by considering a probe of two coincident D7-branes embedded in the AdS-Schwarzschild black hole
background. The isospin chemical potential is obtained by giving a vacuum expectation value to the time
component of the non-Abelian gauge field on the brane. The fluctuations of the non-Abelian gauge field
on the brane are dual to the SU(2) flavor current in the field theory. For the embedding corresponding to
vanishing quark mass, we calculate all Green functions corresponding to the components of the flavor
current correlator. We discuss the physical properties of these Green functions, which go beyond linear
response theory. In particular, we show that the isospin chemical potential leads to a frequency-dependent
isospin diffusion coefficient.
