The aim of this paper is to give a short overview for the set of publications considering recently found effect of non-equivalence of multiplicity fluctuations in relativistic gases with globally conserved charge and energy.
The difference between the flow ellipticities of oppositely charged pions, \Delta v_2=v_2[\pi-]-v_2[\pi+], measured recently by STAR collaboration at RHIC shows a linear dependence on the event charge asymmetry A_+-={(N_+-N_-)/ (N_++N_-)}:…
The measurement of particle correlations and event-by-event fluctuations of physical observables allows to study a large variety of properties of the matter produced in ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We will present results for…
Large elliptic flow at RHIC seems to indicate that ideal hydrodynamics provides a good description of Au-Au collisions, at least at the maximum RHIC energy. The medium formed has been interpreted as a nearly perfect (low-viscosity) liquid,…
We find that if two superconducting islands of different number parity are linked by a tunnel junction the unpaired electron in the odd island has a tendency to tunnel into the even island. This process leads to fluctuations in time of the…
Since their discovery, fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions have been understood as originating mostly from the random positions of nucleons within the colliding nuclei. We consider an alternative approach where all the…
The heavy-ion collisions can produce extremely strong transient magnetic and electric fields. We study the azimuthal fluctuation of these fields and their correlations with the also fluctuating matter geometry (characterized by the…
A new handed interaction between quarks could be at the origin of some small parity violating effects in the inclusive production of one-jet in polarized $pp$ collisions. This interaction could originate from compositeness or from the…
We examine fluctuations of vorticity excited by an external random force in two-dimensional fluid in the presence of a strong external shear flow. The problem is motivated by the analysis of big coherent vortices appearing as a consequence…
We study the effects of collective flow on charge dependent azimuthal correlations at LHC energies. We propose a series of correlations as a signature of the combined effects of azimuthal collective flow and local charge conservation and…
Anisotropic azimuthal correlations are used to probe the properties and the evolution of the system created in heavy-ion collisions. Two-particle azimuthal correlations were used in the searches of $p_{\rm T}$ dependent fluctuations of flow…
STAR has recently reported charge-dependent azimuthal correlations that are sensitive to the charge separation effect in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Qualitatively, these results agree with some of the theoretical…
We discuss several observables measured by PHOBOS that show common scaling features in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies. In particular, we examine the centrality and energy dependence of the charged particle multiplicity, as well…
Fluctuations of the amplitude of the order parameter govern the properties of superconducting systems close to the critical transition temperature. In the BCS regime we examine the contribution of these pairing fluctuations to the…
It has been suggested that local parity violation in QCD would lead to charge separation of quarks by the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in heavy ion collisions. Charge separation could yield a dynamical charge multiplicity asymmetry with…
The strength of parity violation effect can be characterized by correlator value in the framework of local $\mathcal{TIP}$ hypothesis. The energy and centrality dependencies of correlators for same and opposite charges are discussed for…
Recently studies of the differential nature of the flow angle fluctuations, known as event plane angular decorrelation, indicated that measurements that assume a common symmetry plane may need to consider the flow angle fluctuations effect.…
