Propagation of non-linear waves in hot, ideal, and non-extensive quark-gluon plasma

Abstract

We study the propagation of energy density perturbation in a hot, ideal quark-gluon medium in which quarks and gluons follow the Tsallis-like momentum distributions. We have observed that a non-extensive MIT bag equation of state obtained with the help of the quantum Tsallis-like distributions gives rise to a breaking wave solution of the equation dictating the evolution of energy density perturbation. However, the breaking of waves is delayed when the value of the Tsallis q parameter and the Tsallis temperature T are higher.
