We analyze the static potential of a quark-antiquark pair at $T\,\geq\,T_c$, where $T_c$ is a temperature of a deconfinement phase transition in QCD. We discuss the possibility that the non-perturbative part of this potential can be studied…
We put forward an alternative way to estimate the deconfinement temperature in bottom-up holographic models. The deconfinement in AdS/QCD is related to the Hawking-Page phase transition, in which the critical Hawking temperature is…
In this study it is demonstrated that a simple picture of the QCD gluon liquid emerges in the dynamical quasiparticle model that specifies the active degrees of freedom in the time-like sector and yields a potential energy density in the…
We begin with the discussion of the relationship between the trace of the energy momentum tensor and the gluon condensate at finite temperatures. Using the recent numerical data from the simulations of lattice gauge theory for quantum…
We study the giant graviton solution as the AdS_5 X S^5 background is heated up to finite temperature. The analysis employs the thermal brane probe technique based on the blackfold approach. We focus mainly on the thermal giant graviton…
An explicit formula for the ADM mass of an asymptotically AdS black hole in a generic Lovelock gravity theory is presented, identical in form to that in Einstein gravity, but multiplied by a function of the Lovelock coupling constants and…
For the pressure (or free energy) of QCD, four-dimensional (4d) lattice data is available at zero baryon density up to a few times the critical temperature $T_c$. Perturbation theory, on the other hand, has serious convergence problems even…
We construct a hybrid equation of state (EoS) by smoothly interpolating the EoS in the hadron resonance gas at low temperatures to that in the ideal parton gas at high temperatures, and employ it to study the properties of the quantum…
In QCD, the strengths of the large scale temperature dependent chromomagnetic, $B_3, B_8$, and usual magnetic, $H$, fields spontaneously generated in quark-gluon plasma after the deconfinement phase transition (DPT), are estimated. The…
The quarkonium states in a quark-gluon plasma is examined with the potential implied by AdS/CFT duality. Both the vanila AdS-Schwarzschild metric and the one with an infrared cutoff are considered. The calculated dissociation temperatures…
Thermal systems have traditionally been modeled via Euclideanized space by analytical continuation of time to an imaginary time. We extend the concept to static thermal gradients by recasting the temperature variation as a variation in the…
The entropy of the quark-gluon plasma can be calculated from QCD using (approximately) self-consistent approximations. Lattice results for pure gauge theories are accurately reproduced down to temperatures of the order of 2.5$T_c$.…
We elaborate on the computation of the pressure of thermal quantum electrodynamics, with massless electrons, to the fifth ($e^5$) order. The calculation is performed within the Feynman gauge and the imaginary-time formalism is employed. For…
Using lattice simulations, we analyze the influence of uniform rotation on the equation of state of gluodynamics. For a sufficiently slow rotation, the free energy of the system can be expanded into a series of powers of angular velocity.…
We present an alternative way to calculate the screening of the static potential between two charges in (non)abelian gauge theories at high temperatures. Instead of a loop expansion of a gauge boson self-energy, we evaluate the energy shift…
We present the latest results for the equation of state and the crossover transition in 2+1 flavor QCD from the HotQCD Collaboration. Bulk thermodynamic quantities - energy density, pressure, entropy density, and the speed of sound - are…
Various holographic approaches to QCD in five dimensions are explored using input both from the putative non-critical string theory as well as QCD. It is argued that a gravity theory in five dimensions coupled to a dilaton and an axion may…
We employ the Dyson-Schwinger equations for quark and gluon propagators in order to study QCD with 2+1 flavours at finite temperature and density. In a suitable truncation for these equations, we determine the position of the critical…
In this thesis the finite temperature transition between confined and deconfined matter is studied at zero and nonzero quark densities. The findings are relevant for the understanding of the evolution of the early Universe and contemporary…
We analytically obtain the free energy and thermodynamic geometry of holographic superconductors in $2+1$-dimensions. The gravitational theory in the bulk dual to this $2+1$-dimensional strongly coupled theory lives in the $3+1$-dimensions…
