Coherent Topological Charge Structure in Models and QCD
Saeed Ahmad, Jonathan T. Lenaghan, H. B. Thacker
In an effort to clarify the significance of the recent observation of long-range topological charge coherence in QCD gauge configurations, we study the local topological charge dis…
Deconfinement in Matrix Models about the Gross--Witten Point
Adrian Dumitru, Jonathan Lenaghan, Robert D. Pisarski
We study the deconfining phase transition in SU(N) gauge theories at nonzero temperature using a matrix model of Polyakov loops. The most general effective action, including all te…
Topological Charge Membranes in 2D and 4D Gauge Theory
H. Thacker, S. Ahmad, J. Lenaghan
Local topological charge structure in the 2D CP(N-1) sigma models is studied using the overlap Dirac operator. Long-range coherence of topological charge along locally 1D regions i…
Renormalized Polyakov Loops, Matrix Models and the Gross-Witten Point
Adrian Dumitru, Jonathan T. Lenaghan
The values of renormalized Polyakov loops in the three lowest representations of SU(3) were measured numerically on the lattice. We find that in magnitude, condensates respect the…
Apparent Thermalization due to Plasma Instabilities in Quark-Gluon Plasma
Peter Arnold, Jonathan Lenaghan, Guy D. Moore +1
Hydrodynamical modeling of heavy ion collisions at RHIC suggests that the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) "thermalizes" in a remarkably short time scale, about 0.6 fm/c. We argue that thi…
The Abelianization of QCD Plasma Instabilities
Peter Arnold, Jonathan Lenaghan
QCD plasma instabilities appear to play an important role in the equilibration of quark-gluon plasmas in heavy-ion collisions in the theoretical limit of weak coupling (i.e. asympt…
