Asymptotic freedom in a strongly interacting scalar quantum field theory in four Euclidean dimensions

Jürgen Berges, Razvan Gurau, Thimo Preis

We show that scalar quantum field theory in four Euclidean dimensions with global symmetry and imaginary tetrahedral coupling is asymptotically free and bounded from below…

Droplets of Bosons at a Narrow Resonance

Ke Wang, Thimo Preis, Dam Thanh Son

We consider bosons interacting through a narrow -wave resonance. Such a resonance is characterized by an infinite scattering length and a large and negative effective range $r_0…

Condensation and prescaling in spatial Polyakov loop correlations far from equilibrium

Daniel Spitz, Kirill Boguslavski, Thimo Preis

The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of spatial Polyakov loop correlations, which provide gauge-invariant observables akin to effective particle numbers for gluon plasmas, are investi…

Prescaling relaxation to nonthermal attractors

Michal P. Heller, Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Thimo Preis

We study how isotropic and homogeneous far-from-equilibrium quantum systems relax to nonthermal attractors, which are of interest for cold atoms and nuclear collisions. We demonstr…

Stable and unstable perturbations in universal scaling phenomena far from equilibrium

Thimo Preis, Michal P. Heller, Jürgen Berges

We study the dynamics of perturbations around nonthermal fixed points associated to universal scaling phenomena in quantum many-body systems far from equilibrium. For an N-componen…

Far from equilibrium hydrodynamics of nonthermal fixed points

Jürgen Berges, Gabriel S. Denicol, Michal P. Heller +1

Nonthermal fixed points are paradigmatic far-from-equilibrium phenomena of relevance to high-energy physics, cosmology, and cold atomic gases. We propose that, despite their intrin…
