Abstract

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we examine the behavior of correlators of Polyakov loops and other operators in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at non-zero temperature. The implications for Debye screening in this strongly coupled non-Abelian plasma, and comparisons with available results for thermal QCD, are discussed.
