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…
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…
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…
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…
Dynamics of Heavy Quarks in Strongly Coupled SYM Plasma
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Urs Achim Wiedemann
We calculate the probability distribution for a heavy quark with velocity propagating through strongly coupled SYM plasma in the 't Hooft limit at…
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…
