Non-Gaussianity from Schwinger-Keldysh Effective Field Theory
Shu Lin, Yanyan Bu, Chang Lei
We present a systematic treatment of non-Gaussianity in stochastic systems using the Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory framework, in which the non-Gaussianity is realized as…
Quantum Kinetic Theory with Vector and Axial Gauge Fields
Zhou Chen, Shu Lin
In this paper we introduce the axial gauge field to the framework of the quantum kinetic theory with vector gauge field in the massless limit. Treating axial-gauge field on an equa…
Quantum Kinetic Theory for Quantum Electrodynamics
Shu Lin
We derive a quantum kinetic theory for QED based on Kadanoff-Baym equations for Wigner functions. By assuming parity invariance and considering a complete set of self-energy diagra…
Chiral Kinetic Theory from Effective Field Theory Revisited
Shu Lin, Aradhya Shukla
We revisit the chiral kinetic equation from high density effective theory approach, finding a chiral kinetic equation differs from counterpart derived from field theory in high ord…
Holographic thermalization with initial long range correlation
Shu Lin
We studied the evolution of Wightman correlator in a thermalizing state modeled by AdS_3-Vaidya background. We gave a prescription for calculating Wightman correlator in coordinate…
The anomalous transport of axial charge: topological vs non-topological fluctuations
Ioannis Iatrakis, Shu Lin, Yi Yin
Axial charge imbalance is an essential ingredient in novel effects associated with chiral anomaly such as chiral magnetic effects (CME). In a non-Abelian plasma with chiral fermion…
Dilepton and photon production in the presence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Shu Lin, Robert D. Pisarski +1
We calculate the production of dileptons and photons in the presence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop in QCD. This is applicable to the semi-Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), at temperatures…
Collisional energy loss above the critical temperature in QCD
Shu Lin, Robert D. Pisarski, Vladimir V. Skokov
We compute the collisional energy loss for a heavy quark above the critical temperature in Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD). We work in the semi Quark-Gluon Plasma, which assumes that…
Instabilities near the QCD phase transition in the holographic models
Umut Gursoy, Shu Lin, Edward Shuryak
The paper discusses phenomena close to the critical QCD temperature, using the holographic model. One issue studied is the overcooled high-T phase, in which we calculate quasi norm…
Out-of-Equilibrium Chiral Magnetic Effect at Strong Coupling
Shu Lin, Ho-Ung Yee
We study the charge transports originating from triangle anomaly in out-of-equilibrium conditions in the framework of AdS/CFT correspondence at strong coupling, to gain useful insi…
Zero interface tension at the deconfining phase transition for a matrix model of a gauge theory
Shu Lin, Robert D. Pisarski, Vladimir V. Skokov
Using a matrix model, we model the deconfining phase transition at nonzero temperature for a SU(N) gauge theory at large . At infinite the matrix model exhibits a Gross-Witt…
Thermalization from gauge/gravity duality: Evolution of singularities in unequal time correlators
Johanna Erdmenger, Shu Lin
We consider a gauge/gravity dual model of thermalization which consists of a collapsing thin matter shell in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter space. A central aspect of our model is t…
An anomalous hydrodynamics for chiral superfluid
Shu Lin
Starting from low energy effective chiral Lagrangian with gauged Wess-Zumino Witten term, we have derived a hydrodynamic theory for chiral superfluid. It is a non-abelian hydrodyna…
Time singularities of correlators from Dirichlet conditions in AdS/CFT
Johanna Erdmenger, Carlos Hoyos, Shu Lin
Within AdS/CFT, we establish a general procedure for obtaining the leading singularity of two-point correlators involving operator insertions at different times. The procedure obta…
On Stability and Transport of Cold Holographic Matter
Martin Ammon, Johanna Erdmenger, Shu Lin +3
We use gauge-gravity duality to study the stability of zero-temperature, finite baryon density states of N=4 supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory coupled to a single massive fun…
On the anomalous superfluid hydrodynamics
Shu Lin
It has been shown by Son and Surówka that the presence of anomaly in hydrodynamics with global U(1) symmetry can induce vortical and magnetic currents. The induced current is uniqu…
Toward Thermalization in Heavy Ion Collisions at Strong Coupling
Yuri V. Kovchegov, Shu Lin
We find the trapped surface for a collision of two sourceless shock waves in AdS and conclude that such collisions always lead to a creation of a black hole in the bulk. Due to…
The Rise and Fall of Baryons
Shu Lin, Edward Shuryak
We discuss the baryonic contribution to QCD thermodynamics near the QCD phase transition, which we split into "stringy excitations" and the "chiral" lowest states. Our finite- s…
Grazing Collisions of Gravitational Shock Waves and Entropy Production in Heavy Ion Collision
Shu Lin, Edward Shuryak
AdS/CFT correspondence is now widely used for study of strongly coupled plasmas, such as produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. While properties of equilibrate…
Toward the AdS/CFT Gravity Dual for High Energy Collisions. 3.Gravitationally Collapsing Shell and Quasiequilibrium
Shu Lin, Edward Shuryak
The equilibration of matter and onset of hydrodynamics can be understood in the AdS/CFT context as a gravitational collapse process, in which "collision debris" create a horizon. I…
