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…
Recent developments in relativistic hydrodynamic fluctuations
Gokce Basar
The study of thermal fluctuations in relativistic hydrodynamics has led to numerous important developments in the last decade. We present a bird's eye view of the recent advances o…
On the QCD critical point, Lee-Yang edge singularities and Pade resummations
Gokce Basar
We analyze the trajectory of the Lee-Yang edge singularities of the QCD equation of state in the complex baryon chemical potential () plane for different values of the temper…
Relativistic fluctuations in stochastic fluid dynamics
Xin An, Gokce Basar, Mikhail Stephanov +1
The state-of-the-art theoretical formalism for a covariant description of non-Gaussian fluctuation dynamics in relativistic fluids is discussed.
