We study the long-time behavior of a non-interacting two-dimensional quantum gas in a weak random potential with long-range correlations. Any peaked initial momentum distribution will eventually become isotropic and broaden due to…
I describe the footprints of the classical chaos of the Yang-Mills fields in the quantum description. I also review the behavior of the BKL chaotic approach to the classical singularity on the basis of the Loop Quantum Gravity.
Plasmons of quark-gluon plasma - gluon collective modes - are systematically studied. The plasma is, in general, non-equilibrium but homogeneous. We consider anisotropic momentum distributions of plasma constituents which are obtained from…
The rates governing momentum broadening in a quark-gluon plasma with a momentum anisotropy are calculated to leading-log order for a heavy quark using kinetic theory. It is shown how the problematic singularity for these rates at…
We discuss cosmological model with homogeneous and isotropic Yang-Mills field non-minimally coupled to gravity through an effective mass term. In this model conformal symmetry is violated which leads to possibility of inflationary…
Collective excitations of a hot QCD medium are the main focus of the present article. The analysis is performed within semi-classical transport theory with isotropic and anisotropic momentum distribution functions for the gluonic and…
For collisionless (or collision-poor) plasma populations which are well described by the $\kappa$-distribution functions (also known as the Kappa or Lorentzian power-laws) a macroscopic interpretation has remained largely questionable,…
We give the overview of solution techniques for the general conformally-invariant linear and nonlinear wave equations centered around the idea of dimensional reductions by their symmetry groups. The efficiency of these techniques is…
It is often said that soliton contributions to perturbative processes in QFT are exponentially suppressed by a form factor. We provide a new derivation of this form factor for a class of scalar theories with generic soliton moduli. The…
As one of the most elegant theories in physics, Yang-Mills (YM) theory not only incorporates Maxwell's equations unifying electromagnetism, but also underpins the standard model explaining the electroweak and strong interactions in a…
Multi-instanton solutions in the eight and seven dimensional Yang-Mills fields theory is obtained. Extended-soliton solutions to the low-energy heterotic-field-theory equations of motion is constructed from this higher-dimensional…
Under the presence of strong electromagnetic fields and radiation reaction, plasmas develop anisotropic momentum distributions, characterized by a population inversion. This is a general property of collisionless plasmas when the radiation…
A strong classical color field, known as the glasma, is generated in the earliest stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and can significantly influence the momentum and spin dynamics of hard probes such as quarks and jets. Most…
We use holography to investigate the process of homogeneous isotropization and thermalization in a strongly coupled $\mathcal{N} = 4$ Super Yang-Mills plasma charged under a $U(1)$ subgroup of the global $SU(4)$ R-symmetry which features a…
Scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory can be represented in the formalism of Cachazo, He and Yuan (CHY) as integrals over an auxiliary projective space---fully localized on the support of the scattering equations. Because solving the…
A generalised Grad-Shafranov equation that governs the equilibrium of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with anisotropic pressure and incompressible flow of arbitrary direction is derived. This equation includes six free surface functions and…
We examine factorisation in the connected prescription of Yang-Mills amplitudes. The multi-particle pole is interpreted as coming from representing delta functions as meromorphic functions. However, a naive evaluation does not give a…
Non-ideal fluids are generally subject to the occurrence of non-isotropic pressure tensors, whose determination is fundamental in order to characterize their dynamical and thermodynamical properties. This requires the implementation of…
Classical lattice Yang-Mills calculations provide a good way to understand different nonequilibrium phenomena in nonperturbatively overoccupied systems. Above the Debye scale the classical theory can be matched smoothly to kinetic theory.…
Stability of Yang-Mills fields system in the background field is investigated basing on Toda criterion, Poincare sections and the values of the maximal Lyapunov exponents. The existence of the region of regular motion at low densities of…
