Due to off-center relativistic motion of the charged spectators and the local momentum-imbalance of the participants, a short-lived huge magnetic field is likely generated, especially in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In determining the…
For temperatures $T$ ranging from a few MeV up to TeV and energy density $\rho$ up to $10^{16}~$GeV/fm$^3$, the bulk viscosity $\zeta$ is calculated in non-perturbation (up, down, strange, charm, and bottom) and perturbation theories with…
We investigate the thermal correlator of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor in the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. Our goal is to constrain the spectral function in that channel, whose low-frequency part determines the bulk viscosity. We…
In this paper the temperature dependence of the $SU(3)$--gluodynamics bulk viscosity is studied within lattice simulations. To carry out this study we measure the correlation function of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor for a set of…
We investigate the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the Polyakov loop and heavy quark entropy in a bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) holographic model for the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) that quantitatively…
A non-perturbative method of Field Correlators is applied to calculate the Polyakov loop dependence on temperature, $L(T)$, in the 2+1 flavor QCD with small quark masses, so the only relevant scale is the color-electric string tension…
Recently lattice simulation in pure Yang-Mills theory exposes significant quadratic corrections for both the thermodynamic quantities and the renormalized Polyakov loop in the deconfined phase. These terms are previously found to appear…
We use gauge theory/string theory correspondence to study the bulk viscosity of strongly coupled, mass deformed SU(N_c) N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma, also known as N=2^* gauge theory. For a wide range of masses we confirm the bulk…
In this work, we have studied, for the first time, the impact of a realistic picture of a time dependent electric and magnetic field on the shear and bulk viscosities of the medium. Both the electric and magnetic fields are considered to be…
We present a quasiparticle model for the pure gauge sector of QCD, in which transverse quasigluons propagate in a Polyakov loop background field. By incorporating thermodynamic self-consistency in the approach, we show that our Polyakov…
The nonperturbative QCD vacuum at finite temperature and a finite baryon density in an external magnetic field is studied. Equations relating nonperturbative condensates to the thermodynamic pressure for $T\neq 0$, $\mu_q \neq 0$ and $H\neq…
We evaluate the chiral condensate and Polyakov loop in two-dimensional QED with a fermion of an arbitrary mass ($m$). We find discontinuous $m$ dependence in the chiral condensate and anomalous temperature dependence in Polyakov loops when…
A calculation of the bulk viscosity for the massive Gross-Neveu model at zero fermion chemical potential is presented in the large-$N$ limit. This model resembles QCD in many important aspects: it is asymptotically free, has a dynamically…
The dependence of the bulk viscosity with the relativistic parameter $z=kT/mc^{2}$, obtained through the complete Boltzmann equation [1,2], is thoroughly analyzed. A complete and rigorous examination of the relevant non-relativistic and…
At nonzero temperatures, the deconfining phase transition can be analyzed using an effective matrix model to characterize the change in holonomy. The model includes gluons and two-dimensional ghost fields in the adjoint representation, or…
We study the bulk viscosity of a pion gas in unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory at low and moderate temperatures, below any phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma phase. We argue that inelastic processes are irrelevant and…
The asymptotic behavior of the correlator for Polyakov loop operators separated by a large distance $R$ is determined for high temperature QCD. It is dominated by nonperturbative effects related to the exchange of magnetostatic gluons. To…
We investigate the properties of thermal abelian magnetic monopoles in the high temperature phase of Yang--Mills theories, following a recent proposal for their identification on lattice configurations. The study is done for SU(2) pure…
We investigate the temperature dependence of the shear and bulk viscosities and their ratios to the entropy density via a continuum QCD approach. We calculate the pion mass and decay constant in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations of…
A comprehensive determination of the quark mass dependence in the dispersion relations of thermal excitations of gluons and quarks in non-Abelian gauge theory (QCD) is presented for the one-loop approximation in Feynman gauge. Larger values…
