Linear sigma model with quarks and Polyakov loop in rotation: phase diagrams, Tolman-Ehrenfest law and mechanical properties
Pracheta Singha, Sergiu Busuioc, Victor E. Ambrus +1
We study the effect of rotation on the confining and chiral properties of QCD using the Polyakov-enhanced linear sigma model coupled to quarks. Working in the homogeneous approxima…
Signatures of local acceleration of quark-gluon plasma in the dilepton production
Aritra Bandyopadhyay, Moulindu Kundu, Victor E. Ambrus +1
Dilepton production is one of the key probes of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) that encodes the imaginary part of the electromagnetic current-current correlator. We investigate the e…
On the angular momentum and free energy of rotating gluon plasma
V. Braguta, M. Chernodub, E. Eremeev +3
We study the free energy and the angular momentum of rotating hot gluon matter using first-principle numerical simulations of the lattice Yang-Mills theory. We cal…
Firewall boundaries and mixed phases of rotating quark matter in linear sigma model
Sergio Morales-Tejera, Victor E. AmbruÅ, Maxim N. Chernodub
A rigidly-rotating body in unbounded space is usually considered a pathological system since it leads to faster-than-light velocities and associated breaches of causality. However,…
Pseudo-real quantum fields
Maxim N. Chernodub, Peter Millington, Esra Sablevice
We introduce the concept of pseudo-reality for complex numbers. We show that this concept, applied to quantum fields, provides a unifying framework for two distinct approaches to p…
On the origin of mixed inhomogeneous phase in vortical gluon plasma
V. V. Braguta, M. N. Chernodub, Ya. A. Gershtein +1
Recently, lattice simulations of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory revealed that rotating hot gluon matter in thermal equilibrium possesses a novel inhomogeneous phase consisting of the deco…
