  1. 487. Relaxation times of shear and bulk viscosities from Kubo formulas

    New Theoretical Developments
    Oral

    The shear and the bulk relaxation times are important ingredients of the second order hydrodynamics whose success in heavy ion phenomenology is unquestioned. Unlike viscosites themselves, field theoretical calculations of the relaxation times are hard to come by in literature, especially for the bulk relaxation time. In this work, we report two field-theoretical analyses involving the shear...

  2. 698. Path-Integral Monte Carlo Study of the Magnetic Component of Quark-Gluon Plasma At and Above $T_c$

    Oral

    Magnetic monopoles are suggested to play an important role in strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) near the deconfinement temperature. Lattice studies show that near the confinement temperature, $T_c$, quark-gluon plasma (QGP) contains both electric and magnetic quasiparticles. Further studies of the behavior of these quasiparticles at and above $T_c$, such as those by Liao and Shuryak...

  3. 572. A kinetic regime of hydrodynamic fluctuations and long time tails for a Bjorken expansion
    Dr Yukinao Akamatsu (Osaka University)

    New Theoretical Developments
    Oral

    We develop a set of kinetic equations for hydrodynamic fluctuations which are equivalent to nonlinear hydrodynamics with noise. The hydro-kinetic equations can be coupled to existing second order hydrodynamic codes to incorporate the physics of these fluctuations, which become dominant near the critical point.

    We first show that the kinetic response precisely reproduces the renormalization...

  4. 749. Hydrodynamics with critical slowing down
    Misha Stephanov (UIC)

    New Theoretical Developments
    Oral

    We extend hydrodynamics of a fluid with conserved charge to incorporate the phenomenon of critical slowing down -- an essential ingredient for describing the dynamics of QCD matter near the critical point. We develop the general formalism of hydrodynamics with additional critically slow mode extending the validity of hydrodynamics in critical regime. As an application we consider a simple...

  5. 300. Topology and axion's properties from lattice QCD with a dynamical charm
    Maria Paola Lombardo (INFN)

    QCD at High Temperature
    Oral

    We study QCD for temperatures up to about 500 MeV using the lattice
    approach. We include two generations of dynamical quarks, with
    physical strange and charm masses, which are known to be relevant in the explored
    temperature range. Our lattice discretization - Wilson quarks with a twisted
    mass term - has good chiral properties at a moderate computational
    cost. The main focus is...
