Towards a topological data analysis for heavy-ion collisions
Federica Capellino, Andrea Dubla, Silvia Masciocchi +2
The collective expansion of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions suggests that geometry-inspired approaches can be useful in extracting information about th…

Topological data analysis of the deconfinement transition in SU(3) lattice gauge theory
Daniel Spitz, Julian M. Urban, Jan M. Pawlowski
We study the confining and deconfining phases of pure lattice gauge theory with topological data analysis. This provides unique insights into long range correlatio…

Condensation and prescaling in spatial Polyakov loop correlations far from equilibrium
Daniel Spitz, Kirill Boguslavski, Thimo Preis
The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of spatial Polyakov loop correlations, which provide gauge-invariant observables akin to effective particle numbers for gluon plasmas, are investi…
