We present a linear-response formalism for a system of correlated electrons out of equilibrium, as relevant for the probe optical absorption in pump-probe experiments. We consider the time dependent optical conductivity $\sigma(\omega,t)$…
Due to anisotropic momentum distributions the parton system produced at the early stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions is unstable with respect to the magnetic plasma modes. The instabilities isotropize the system and thus speed up…
