Strongly Coupled Soft Functions
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Zhiquan Sun
The renormalization of operators built out of Wilson lines that meet at an angle (cusp) involve what is known as the cusp anomalous dimension, a universal object appearing in many…
Quantum theory of elastic strings and the thermal conductivity of glasses
Fernando Lund, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld
We study the thermal conductivity of amorphous solids by constructing a continuum model whose degrees of freedom are propagating vibrational modes (phonons) and extended Volterra d…
Heavy flavor transport in the QGP medium
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld
I review recent developments on heavy flavor transport in the QGP medium, along two directions. The first is the transport of individual open heavy quarks. Leveraging the tools of…
Adiabatic hydrodynamization and quasinormal modes of nonthermal attractors
Matisse De Lescluze, Michal P. Heller, Aleksas Mazeliauskas +2
Nonthermal attractors govern the emergent self-similar dynamics of far-from-equilibrium quantum systems, from ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions to cold-atom experiments. Within…
Attractors Without Scaling: Adiabatic Hydrodynamization With and Without Inelastic Scattering
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst
We study the process of hydrodynamization in kinetic theories of gluons undergoing boost-invariant expansion using the Adiabatic Hydrodynamization (AH) framework. We study both num…
Quarkonium suppression in strongly coupled plasmas
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
Suppression of open heavy quarks and quarkonia in heavy-ion collisions are among the most informative probes of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Interpreting the full wealth of data obtai…
Connecting Pre-Thermal and Hydrodynamizing Attractors With Adiabatic Hydrodynamization
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst
The far-from equilibrium dynamics of the pre-hydrodynamic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy ion collisions can be characterized by distinct stages, during each of which the…
Universal Equilibration Condition for Heavy Quarks
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Urs Achim Wiedemann
Kinetic equilibration at late times is physically required for heavy particles in a finite temperature medium. In Fokker-Planck dynamics, it is ensured by the Einstein relation bet…
A correspondence between the Rabi model and an Ising model with long-range interactions
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Néstor Sepúlveda
By means of Trotter's formula, we show that transition amplitudes between a class of generalized coherent states in the Rabi model can be understood in terms of a certain Ising mod…

We calculate the probability distribution for a heavy quark with velocity propagating through strongly coupled SYM plasma in the 't Hooft limit at…

Bruno Sebastian Scheihing-Hitschfeld
In this thesis, we make progress in two concrete directions in the vast landscape of hot QCD physics. The first one is quarkonium transport inside quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the hig…
Adiabatic Hydrodynamization and the Emergence of Attractors: a Unified Description of Hydrodynamization in Kinetic Theory
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst
"Attractor" solutions for the pre-hydrodynamic, far-from-equilibrium, evolution of the matter produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions have emerged as crucial descriptors of t…
Quarkonium transport in weakly and strongly coupled plasmas
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
We report on progress in the nonperturbative understanding of quarkonium dynamics inside a thermal plasma. The time evolution of small-size quarkonium is governed by two-point corr…
Adiabatic Hydrodynamization: a Natural Framework to Find and Describe Prehydrodynamic Attractors
