On the internal space dependence of the static quark-antiquark potential in N=4 SYM plasma wind

We study the effect of the relative S5-angle of a quark and an antiquark on their static potential and the related screening length in a strongly coupled moving N=4 SYM plasma. The large velocity scaling law for the screening length holds for any relative S5-angle θ. However, the velocity independent prefactor Z strongly depends on θ. For comparison with QCD we propose to average Z over all relative orientations on S5. This generates a suppression factor relative to the case θ=0.
