How Wide is the Transition to Deconfinement?
Adrian Dumitru, Yun Guo, Yoshimasa Hidaka +2
Pure SU(3) glue theories exhibit a deconfining phase transition at a nonzero temperature, Tc. Using lattice measurements of the pressure, we develop a simple matrix model to descri…
Zero Point Energy of Renormalized Wilson Loops
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski
The quark antiquark potential, and its associated zero point energy, can be extracted from lattice measurements of the Wilson loop. We discuss a unique prescription to renormalize…
Suppression of the shear viscosity near the critical temperature in hot QCD
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski
We consider QCD near but above critical temperature Tc. The pressure, susceptibilities and the renormalized Polyakov loop -- which is an order parameter for the deconfining phase t…
Baryons and the phase diagram for a large number of colors and flavors
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Larry D. McLerran, Robert D. Pisarski
We consider the possible phases of a non-Abelian gauge theory, as a function of temperature and quark chemical potential, when both the number of colors and flavors is very large.…
Suppression of the Shear Viscosity in a "semi" Quark Gluon Plasma
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski
We consider QCD at temperatures T near Tc, where the theory deconfines. We distinguish between a "complete" Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), where the vacuum expectation value of the reno…
Fuzzy Bags and Wilson Lines
Robert D. Pisarski
I start with an elementary observation about the pressure in the deconfined phase of a SU(3) gauge theory without quarks. This suggests a ``fuzzy'' bag model for the analogous pres…
