In non-central heavy-ion collisions, a large orbital angular momentum of the colliding system is produced, which is then partially transferred to the created medium, resulting in the particle polarization on average along the initial…
In the initial stage of the bottom-up picture of thermalization in heavy ion collisions, the gluon distribution is highly anisotropic which can give rise to plasma instability. This has not been taken account in the original paper. It is…

The uncertainty in the equilibration in heavy ion collisions due to the choice of the value of the coupling is examined. The results of the equilibration are indeed affected by this choice. In particular, a variation of $\a_s$ from 0.3 to…
A system of gluon fields generated at the earliest phase of relativistic heavy-ion collisions can be described in terms of classical fields. Numerical simulations show that the system is unstable but a character of the instability is not…
