On the sign of the dilaton in the soft wall models
Andreas Karch, Emanuel Katz, Dam T. Son +1
We elaborate on the existence of a spurious massless scalar mode in the vector channel of soft-wall models with incorrectly chosen sign of the exponential profile defining the wall…
Response of strongly-interacting matter to magnetic field: some exact results
G. M. Newman, D. T. Son
We derive some exact results concerning the response of strongly-interacting matter to external magnetic fields. Our results come from consideration of triangle anomalies in medium…
QCD at finite isospin density: from pion to quark-antiquark condensation
D. T. Son, M. A. Stephanov
QCD at finite isospin chemical potential mu_I is studied. This theory has no fermion sign problem and can be simulated on the lattice using present-day techniques. We solve this th…
Hydrodynamics of relativisic systems with broken continuous symmetries
D. T. Son
We show how hydrodynamics of relativistic system with broken continuous symmetry can be constructed using the Poisson bracket technique. We illustrate the method on the example of…
Bottom-up thermalization in heavy ion collisions
R. Baier, A. H. Mueller, D. Schiff +1
We describe how thermalization occurs in heavy ion collisions in the framework of perturbative QCD. When the saturation scale is large compared to , thermalization t…
Inverse meson mass ordering in color-flavor-locking phase of high density QCD: erratum
D. T. Son, M. A. Stephanov
We correct a mistake in the calculation of meson masses at large baryon chemical potential made in hep-ph/9910491v2
On finite-density QCD at large Nc
E. Shuster, D. T. Son
Deryagin, Grigoriev, and Rubakov (DGR) have shown that in finite-density QCD at infinite Nc the Fermi surface is unstable with respect to the formation of chiral waves with wavenum…
Longitudinal subtleties in diffusive Langevin equations for non-Abelian plasmas
Peter Arnold, Dam T. Son, Laurence G. Yaffe
Boedeker has recently argued that non-perturbative processes in very high temperature non-Abelian plasmas (such as electroweak baryon number violation in the very hot early Univers…
Superconductivity by long-range color magnetic interaction in high-density quark matter
D. T. Son
We argue that in quark matter at high densities, the color magnetic field remains unscreened and leads to the phenomenon of color superconductivity. Using the renormalization group…
Hot B violation, color conductivity, and log(1/alpha) effects
Peter Arnold, Dam T. Son, Laurence G. Yaffe
Bodeker has recently argued that non-perturbative processes in very high temperature non-Abelian plasmas (such as electroweak baryon number violation in the very hot early Universe…
Magnetohydrodynamics of the Early Universe and the Evolution of Primordial Magnetic Fields
D. T. Son
We show that the decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence leads to a more rapid growth of the correlation length of a primordial magnetic field than that caused by the expansion of…
Long Range Physics in a Hot Non-Abelian Plasma
Patrick Huet, D. T. Son
We derive a set of equations describing the real time dynamics of modes with spatial momentum of order g^2 T in a high temperature gauge theory, where g is the coupling constant an…
The hot baryon violation rate is
Peter Arnold, Dam Son, Laurence G. Yaffe
The rate per unit volume for anomalous electroweak baryon number violation at high temperatures, in the symmetric phase, has been estimated in the literature to be b…
Reheating and thermalization in a simple scalar model
D. T. Son
We consider a simple model for the Universe reheating, which consists of a single self--interacting scalar field in Minkowskian space--time. Making use of the existence of an addit…
Examples of Semiclassical Instanton-Like Scattering: Massless and SU(2) Gauge Theories
D. T. Son, P. G. Tinyakov
Two-parameter sets of solutions to the classical field equations in the massless model and SU(2) gauge theory are found, each solution presumably describing a multi-particle…
