In this paper, we derive a dispersion relation for sound waves in viscous and heat conducting fluids. In particular this dispersion (i.e. variation of speed of sound with frequency) is shown to be of second order of magnitude, w.r.t.…
In this thesis, we study the critical dynamics near the QCD critical point. Near the critical point, the relevant modes for the critical dynamics are identified as the hydrodynamic modes. Thus, we first study the linear dynamics of them by…
Recently a lot of evidence that there exists a critical end point (CEP) in the QCD phase diagram has been accumulating. However, so far, no reliable equation of state with the CEP has been employed in hydrodynamical calculations. In this…
At low temperatures, elementary excitations of a one-dimensional quantum liquid form a gas that can move as a whole with respect to the center of mass of the system. This internal motion attenuates at exponentially long time scales. As a…

Sound propagation is a macroscopic manifestation of the interplay between the equilibrium thermodynamics and the dynamical transport properties of fluids. Here, for a two-dimensional system of ultracold fermions, we calculate the first and…
We study sound propagation in a uniform superfluid gas of Fermi atoms in the unitary limit. The existence of normal and superfluid components leads to appearance of two sound modes in the collisional regime, referred to as first and second…

The mean-field level calculation shows that the QCD matter can have multiple critical points incorporating the color superconductivity under charge neutrality constraint due to the repulsive vector interaction; this actually implies that…
Ambiguities regarding the physics and the existence of the critical point (CP) on the QCD phase boundary still exist and the mist regarding the conjectured QCD phase boundary has not yet cleared. In this paper we extend our earlier study…
We develope a theory of sound in a relativistic superfluid with quantum vortices. The vortices are presented by vortex fluid. For a particular separable model we find new modes of which a non-relativistic superfluid is deprived.
In superfluid systems several sound modes can be excited, as for example first and second sound in liquid helium. Here, we excite propagating and standing waves in a uniform two-dimensional Bose gas and we characterize the propagation of…
