Evolution of fluctuations near QCD critical point
M. A. Stephanov
We propose to describe the time evolution of quasi-stationary fluctuations near QCD critical point by a system of stochastic Boltzmann-Langevin-Vlasov-type equations. We derive the…

Conformality Lost
David B. Kaplan, Jong-Wan Lee, Dam T. Son +1
We consider zero-temperature transitions from conformal to non-conformal phases in quantum theories. We argue that there are three generic mechanisms for the loss of conformality i…

Holography and the speed of sound at high temperatures
Paul M. Hohler, Mikhail A. Stephanov
We show that in a general class of strongly interacting theories at high temperatures the speed of sound approaches the conformal value c_s^2=1/3 universally from_below_. This clas…
