We calculate the thermal Euclidean correlators and the spectral functions of the energy-momentum tensor for pure gauge theories, including at non-zero spatial momentum, at leading order in perturbation theory. Our goal is to improve the…
An ongoing effort to compute the topological susceptibility for the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in the continuum limit with a precison of about 2% is reported. The susceptibility is computed by using the definition of the charge suggested by…
We present further evidence for the bulk nature of the phase transition line in the fundamental--adjoint action plane of SU(3) lattice gauge theory. Computing the string tension and some glueball masses along the thermal phase transition…
The quark gluon plasma produced in heavy ion collisions behaves like an almost ideal fluid described by viscous hydrodynamics with a number of transport coefficients. The second order coefficient $\kappa$ is related to a Euclidean…
A bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton holographic model is used to compute, for the first time, the behavior of several transport coefficients of the hot and baryon-rich strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma at the critical point and also…
We compute shear viscosity and flavor diffusion coefficients for ultra-relativistic gauge theory with many fermionic species, Nf >> 1, to leading order in 1/Nf. The calculation is performed both at leading order in the effective coupling…
By (a) using an expression for the LATTICE potential of QCD in terms of a CONTINUUM running coupling and (b) globally parameterizing this coupling to interpolate between 2- (or higher-) loop QCD in the UV and the flux tube prediction in the…
In lattice calculations, the approach to the continuum limit is hindered by the severe freezing of the topological charge, which prevents ergodic sampling in configuration space. In order to significantly reduce the autocorrelation time of…
Various aspects of transport coefficients in quantum field theory are reviewed. We describe recent progress in the calculation of transport coefficients in hot gauge theories using Kubo formulas, paying attention to the fulfillment of Ward…
Starting from Wilson's action, we calculate strong coupling series for the Polyakov loop susceptibility in lattice gauge theories for various small N_\tau in the thermodynamic limit. Analysing the series with Pad\'e approximants, we…
By considering the example of $SU(2)$ gluodynamics, we check numerically the idea that the strong correlation of the Polyakov loop with the longitudinal gluon propagator and related quantities can be used to substantially reduce the…
We compute the shear and bulk viscosities, as well as the thermal conductivity of an ultrarelativistic fluid obeying the relativistic Boltzmann equation in 2+1 space-time dimensions. The relativistic Boltzmann equation is taken in the…
We construct a few parameter approximate fixed point action for SU(2) pure gauge theory and subject it to scaling tests, via Monte Carlo simulation. We measure the critical coupling for deconfinement for lattices of temporal extent $N_t=2$,…
We investigated the finite temperature (T) phase transition for SU(Nc) gauge theory with Nc=4, 6, 8 and 10 at lattice spacing, a, of 1/(6T) or less. We found that these theories have first order transitions at such small a. In many cases we…
Modeling QCD at large temperature with a simple holographic five dimensional theory encoding minimal breaking of conformality, allows for the calculation of all the transport coefficients, up to second order, in terms of a single parameter.…
We apply the relative weights method to SU(3) gauge theory with staggered fermions of mass 695 MeV at a set of temperatures in the range $151 \le T \le 267$ MeV, to obtain an effective Polyakov line action at each temperature. We then apply…
We calculate second- and fourth-order cumulants of conserved charges in a temperature range stretching from the QCD transition region towards the realm of (resummed) perturbation theory. We perform lattice simulations with staggered quarks;…
The computation of transport coefficients, even in linear response, is a major challenge for theoretical methods that rely on analytic continuation of correlations functions obtained numerically in Matsubara space. While maximum entropy…
We determine the topological susceptibility in the SU(3) pure gauge theory. We perform a series of high-statistics lattice studies and take the combined continuum and infinite volume limit. We find chi_{top}r_0^4=0.0524(7)(6) which…
An upper bound for the Kantorovich transport distance between probability measures on multidimensional Euclidean spaces is given in terms of transport distances between one dimensional projections. This quantifies the Cram\'er-Wold…
