During the expansion of a heavy ion collision, the system passes close to the $O(4)$ critical point of QCD, and thus the fluctuations of the order parameter $(\sigma, \vec{\pi})$ are expected to be enhanced. Our goal is to compute how these…

We introduce a D-dimensional Hamiltonian formalism for the study of Polyakov loop models of finite temperature gauge theories in D+1 dimensions. Polyakov loop string tensions are obtained from energy eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. For D=1,…
Modified gravity models often contain modes that couple to normal matter and propagate with slightly less than the speed of light. High-energy cosmic rays then lose energy due to Cherenkov radiation, which constrains such models. This is…
