Analytic structure of the QCD phase diagram in the complex-temperature plane
Gokce Basar, Vladimir V. Skokov
We study the analytic structure of the QCD phase diagram by treating temperature as a complex variable. The nearest Yang-Lee edge singularities in the complex plane bound the d…
Non-Gaussian hydrodynamic fluctuations in an expanding relativistic fluid
Gokce Basar, Shuo Song
We consider non-equilibrium evolution of non-Gaussian fluctuations in a hydrodynamic system undergoing a boost-invariant expansion described by Bjorken flow. We derive the evolutio…
Non-Gaussian fluctuations in relativistic hydrodynamics: Confluent equations for three-point correlations
Xin An, Gokce Basar, Mikhail Stephanov
We derive deterministic equations for the evolution of non-Gaussian fluctuations in relativistic stochastic hydrodynamics. This is achieved by defining the average local Landau fra…
Equation of state and cumulants of proton multiplicity in equilibrium near critical point from Pade estimates
Gokce Basar, Maneesha Pradeep, Mikhail Stephanov
The fluctuations of proton multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions are the key observables in the search for the QCD critical point. In this work we present an approach to constrainin…
