An overview of the recent progress in understanding the interplay of
quantum anomalies, chirality, and magnetic field in the dynamics
of QCD fluid will be presented. The current theoretical description
of the chiral magnetic and chiral vortical effects within anomalous
magnetohydrodynamics will be described. It allows a quantitative
approach to these phenomena in heavy ion...

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we probe the scale-dependence of thermalization in strongly coupled field theories following a quench, via calculations of 2-point functions, Wilson loops and entanglement entropy in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions. In the saddlepoint approximation these probes are computed in AdS space in terms of invariant geometric objects -- geodesics, minimal surfaces and...

The recent results at the LHC on jet quenching in heavy ion
collisions call for a
fundamental understanding of the evolution of a relatively hard jet
propagating through a QCD medium like the quark--gluon plasma. As a first
step in that sense, we consider the interference pattern for the
medium--induced gluon radiation produced by a color singlet
quark--antiquark antenna embedded in a...

Jet physics in hadronic collisions is one of the major achievements of perturbative QCD. However, a complete theory of jets in a hot and dense partonic environment remains to be developed. Such a theory is needed in Heavy-Ion Collisions (HIC), at RHIC and now at the LHC, in order to have a clean access to the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP).
To this end, we have investigated...

We calculate running coupling corrections for the lowest-order gluon production cross section in high energy hadronic and nuclear scattering using the BLM scale-setting prescription. In the final answer for the cross section the three powers of fixed coupling are replaced by seven factors of running coupling, five in the numerator and two in the denominator, forming a 'septumvirate' of running...

The high-energy behavior of amplitudes in gauge theories can be reformulated in terms
of the evolution of Wilson-line operators. In the leading order this evolution is governed by the non-linear Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation.
In order to see if this equation is relevant for existing or future DIS accelerators
(like EIC or LeHC) one needs to know how large are the next-to-leading order...
