Equation of State for QCD at finite temperature and density. Resummation versus lattice data

Jens O. Andersen, Najmul Haque, Munshi G. Mustafa +2

The perturbative series for finite-temperature field theories has very poor convergence properties and one needs a way to reorganize it. In this talk, I review two ways of reorgani…

Studying the validity of relativistic hydrodynamics with a new exact solution of the Boltzmann equation

Gabriel S. Denicol, Ulrich W. Heinz, Mauricio Martinez +2

We present an exact solution to the Boltzmann equation which describes a system undergoing boost-invariant longitudinal and azimuthally symmetric radial expansion for arbitrary she…

A new exact solution of the relativistic Boltzmann equation and its hydrodynamic limit

Gabriel S. Denicol, Ulrich W. Heinz, Mauricio Martinez +2

We present an exact solution of the relativistic Boltzmann equation for a system undergoing boost-invariant longitudinal and azimuthally symmetric transverse flow ("Gubser flow").…

Three loop HTL perturbation theory at finite temperature and chemical potential

Michael Strickland, Jens O. Andersen, Aritra Bandyopadhyay +3

In this proceedings contribution we present a recent three-loop hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory (HTLpt) calculation of the thermodynamic potential for a finite temperature an…

Thermalization of anisotropic quark-gluon plasma produced by decays of color flux tubes

Wojciech Florkowski, Radoslaw Ryblewski

Kinetic equations are used to study thermalization of the anisotropic quark-gluon plasma produced by decays of color flux tubes possibly created at the very early stages of relativ…

DSE Perspective on QCD Modeling, Distribution Amplitudes, and Form Factors

Peter C Tandy

We describe results for the pion distribution amplitude (PDA) at the non-perturbative scale 2GeV by projecting the Poincaré-covariant Bethe-Salpeter wave-function onto the lig…
