Hard loop effective theory of the (anisotropic) quark gluon plasma

A. Rebhan

The generalization of the hard thermal loop effective theory to anisotropic plasmas is described with a detailed discussion of anisotropic dispersion laws and plasma instabilities.…

Next-to-leading order static gluon self-energy for anisotropic plasmas

M. E. Carrington, A. Rebhan

In this paper the structure of the next-to-leading (NLO) static gluon self energy for an anisotropic plasma is investigated in the limit of a small momentum space anisotropy. Using…

Equation of state of zero-temperature quark matter with finite quark masses

A. Vuorinen

We outline the key elements of a recent calculation aimed at determining the equation of state of deconfined (but unpaired) quark matter at zero temperature and high density, using…

Nonabelian plasma instabilities in Bjorken expansion

Anton Rebhan

Plasma instabilities are parametrically the dominant nonequilibrium dynamics of a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma. In recent years the time evolution of the corresponding collect…

Instabilities of an anisotropically expanding non-Abelian plasma: 1D+3V discretized hard-loop simulations

Anton Rebhan, Michael Strickland, Maximilian Attems

Non-Abelian plasma instabilities play a crucial role in the nonequilibrium dynamics of a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma and they importantly modify the standard perturbative bot…

Center-Symmetric Effective Theory for High-Temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

Ph. de Forcrand, A. Kurkela, A. Vuorinen

We construct and study a dimensionally reduced effective theory for high-temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills theory that respects all the symmetries of the underlying theory. Our main mot…
