Quantum Kinetic Theory for Quantum Electrodynamics
Shu Lin
We derive a quantum kinetic theory for QED based on Kadanoff-Baym equations for Wigner functions. By assuming parity invariance and considering a complete set of self-energy diagra…
Toward Thermalization in Heavy Ion Collisions at Strong Coupling
Yuri V. Kovchegov, Shu Lin
We find the trapped surface for a collision of two sourceless shock waves in AdS and conclude that such collisions always lead to a creation of a black hole in the bulk. Due to…
New Classes of Partial Geometries and Their Associated LDPC Codes
Qiuju Diao, Juane Li, Shu Lin +1
The use of partial geometries to construct parity-check matrices for LDPC codes has resulted in the design of successful codes with a probability of error close to the Shannon capa…
Dilepton and photon production in the presence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Shu Lin, Robert D. Pisarski +1
We calculate the production of dileptons and photons in the presence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop in QCD. This is applicable to the semi-Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), at temperatures…
Distorted quarkonia and spin alignment
Guowei Yan, Shu Lin
It is well-known that atoms can change their shape when subject to external electromagnetic fields. Analogous phenomenon is expected for particles, which are much smaller in size w…
On the anomalous superfluid hydrodynamics
Shu Lin
It has been shown by Son and Surówka that the presence of anomaly in hydrodynamics with global U(1) symmetry can induce vortical and magnetic currents. The induced current is uniq…
