With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear interactions, the availability of experiments probing nuclear matter under conditions not reached before, endeavors to develop sophisticated and reliable transport simulations to interpret these experiments, and the advent of multi-messenger astronomy, the next decade will bring new opportunities for determining the nuclear matter EOS, elucidating its dependence on density, temperature, and isospin asymmetry. Among controlled terrestrial experiments, collisions of heavy nuclei at intermediate beam energies (from a few tens of MeV/nucleon to about 25 GeV/nucleon in the fixed-target frame) probe the widest ranges of baryon density and temperature, enabling studies of nuclear matter from a few tenths to about 5 times the nuclear saturation density and for temperatures from a few to well above a hundred MeV, respectively. Collisions of neutron-rich isotopes further bring the opportunity to probe effects due to the isospin asymmetry. However, capitalizing on the enormous scientific effort aimed at uncovering the dense nuclear matter EOS, both at RHIC and at FRIB as well as at other international facilities, depends on the continued development of state-of-the-art hadronic transport simulations. This white paper highlights the essential role that heavy-ion collision experiments and hadronic transport simulations play in understanding strong interactions in dense nuclear matter, with an emphasis on how these efforts can be used together with microscopic approaches and neutron star studies to uncover the nuclear EOS.}, journal={PROGRESS IN PARTICLE AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS}, author={Sorensen, Agnieszka and Agarwal, Kshitij and Brown, Kyle W. and Chajecki, Zbigniew and Danielewicz, Pawel and Drischler, Christian and Gandolfi, Stefano and Holt, Jeremy W. and Kaminski, Matthias and Ko, Che-Ming and et al.}, year={2024}, month={Jan} }

Recently, in arXiv:2106.03165, a new resummation scheme was proposed for such an expansion that resums contributions of correlation functions of conserved currents to all orders in the chemical potential. Here, we study the efficacy of this resummation scheme using a low energy model, namely the mean-field quark-meson model. After adapting the scheme for a mean-field analysis, we confront the results of this scheme with the direct solution of the model at finite density as well as compare with results from Taylor expansions. We study to what extent the two methods capture the analytical properties of the equation of state in the complex chemical potential plane. As expected, the Taylor expansion breaks down as soon as the baryon chemical potential reaches the radius of convergence defined by the Yang-Lee edge singularity. Encouragingly, the resummation not only captures the location of the Yang-Lee edge singularity accurately, but is also able to describe the equation of state for larger chemical potentials beyond the location of the edge singularity for a wide range of temperatures.}, number={1}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW D}, author={Mukherjee, Swagato and Rennecke, Fabian and Skokov, V.

A configuration-by-configuration expression for the single inclusive semi-hard gluon production including the first saturation correction was obtained. In this paper, we perform ensemble averaging in the McLerran-Venugopalan model and the Dipole Approximation.

The dynamics is described within the framework of the Boltzmann equation in the small-angle approximation. The kinetic equations for a suitable set of moments of the one-particle distribution function are derived. By investigating the stability and asymptotic resurgent properties of this dynamical system, we demonstrate, that its solutions exhibit a rather different behavior for large (UV) and small (IR) effective Knudsen numbers. Close to the forward attractor in the IR regime the constitutive relations of each moment can be written as a multiparameter transseries. This resummation scheme allows us to extend the definition of a transport coefficient to the non-equilibrium regime naturally. Each transport coefficient is renormalized by the non-perturbative contributions of the non-hydrodynamic modes. The Knudsen number dependence of the transport coefficient is governed by the corresponding renormalization group flow equation. An interesting feature of the Yang-Mills plasma in this regime is that it exhibits transient non-Newtonian behavior while hydrodynamizing. In the UV regime the solution for the moments can be written as a power-law asymptotic series with a finite radius of convergence. We show that radius of convergence of the UV perturbative expansion grows linearly as a function of the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio.

It has been stated that under conditions of low superheats and boiling-up on solitary non-interacting heterogeneous sites, the rotation of the flow is considered to be the decisive factor in the atomization process. At high superheats and the realization of the mechanism of intense heterogeneous vaporization, the effect of boiling-up on the jet disintegration becomes dominant. When establishing conditions for explosive boiling-up (homogeneous nucleation) under attainable superheats, a complete jet breakup was observed both without a swirl and at low swirl speeds. With an increase in the swirl speed, the temperature range of the breakup narrowed. With a strong swirl the breakup disappeared completely. In the initial states of ethanol close to the thermodynamic critical point, the jet shape was similar to a gas one with or without a swirl. The 1/f fluctuations revealed were caused by oscillations (nutation) of the precessional motion of the jet. They indicate a possibility of large-scale outbursts in the jet.}, journal={International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer}, author={Reshetnikov, A.V. and Busov, K.A. and Kapitunov, O.A. and Skokov, V.N.}, year={2020} }

At a Lifshitz point, three phases meet: disordered, ordered, and one in which spatially inhomogeneous phases arise. At the level of mean field theory, the appearance of a Lifshitz point does not dramatically affect the phase diagram. We argue, however, that fluctuations about the Lifshitz point are very strong in the infrared and significantly alter the phase diagram.

A long ranged confining potential reduces the scattering of such quarks to be essentially one dimensional. As a result the Fermi surface, which is originally isotropic, is unstable to breaking up into a set of patches, where each patch contains a chiral spiral whose longitudinal dynamics is controlled by a Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) Lagrangian. Transverse fluctuations of the chiral spirals are like those in a smectic liquid crystal, of quartic order in momenta, and disorder the system at any nonzero temperature T. The corresponding correlation lengths are exponentially large in 1/T, though, so that the many modes in the WZNW Lagrangian are light. Such a plethora of nearly massless collective modes could greatly contribute to cooling neutron stars. Moving to low density, the chiral spirals of quarkyonic matter directly evolve into the pion/kaon condensates of hadronic nuclear matter. In Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models, analysis in mean field theory finds a critical endpoint which coincides with a Lifshitz point. From general theoretical arguments, and strongly supported by the example of inhomogeneous polymers, we argue that large infrared fluctuations wipe out the Lifshitz point, and produce an intermediate region in which the chiral spirals are strongly disordered. There may be evidence for such a region from experimental measurements of fluctuations at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.}, number={7}, journal={Physical Review D}, author={Pisarski, Robert D. and Skokov, Vladimir V. and Tsvelik, Alexei M.}, year={2019}, pages={074025} }

We consider the case where $M^2 \sim \Lambda^2_{\rm QCD}/N_c$ so that to leading order in $N_c$ this symmetry breaking term vanishes. We present some arguments why this might be plausible. One might think that such a radical assumption would contradict lattice Monte Carlo data on QCD as function of $N_c$. We show that the linear sigma model gives a fair description of the data of DeGrand and Liu both for $N_c = 3$, and for variable $N_c$. The values of quark masses considered by DeGrand and Liu, and by Bali et. al. turn out to be too large to resolve the case we consider from that of the conventional large $N_c$ limit. We argue that for quark masses $m_{q} \ll \Lambda_{\rm QCD}/N_c^{3/2}$, both the baryon mass and nucleon size scale as $\sqrt{N_c}$. For $m_{q} \gg \Lambda_{\rm QCD}/N_c^{3/2}$ the conventional large-$N_c$ counting holds. The physical values of quark masses for QCD correspond to the small quark mass limit. We find pion-nucleon coupling strengths are reduced to order ${\cal O}(1)$ rather than ${\cal O}(N_c)$. Under the assumption that in the large $N_c$ limit the sigma meson mass is larger than that of the omega, and that the omega-nucleon coupling constant is larger than that of the sigma, we argue that the nucleon-nucleon large range potential is weakly attractive and admits an interaction energy of order $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/N_c^{5/2} \sim 10$ MeV. With these assumptions on coupling and masses, there is no strong long range attractive channel for nucleon-nucleon interactions, so that nuclear matter at densities much smaller than that where nucleons strongly interact is a weakly interacting configuration of nucleons with strongly interacting localized cores.}, number={8}, journal={Acta Physica Polonica B}, author={McLerran, Larry and Skokov, Vladimir}, year={2018}, pages={1513–1530} }

We integrate out those fluctuations of the gluon field under which a given observable is invariant.

As is standard, the potential for the scalar fields is chosen to be symmetric under the flavor symmetry of SU (3)L × SU(3)R × Z (3) A , except for a term linear in the current quark mass, mqk . In addition, at a nonzero temperature T it is necessary to add a new term, ~ mqk T2 . The parameters of the gluon part of the matrix model are identical to those for the pure glue theory without quarks. The parameters in the chiral matrix model are fixed by the values, at zero temperature, of the pion decay constant and the masses of the pions, kaons, η , and η' . Themore » temperature for the chiral crossover at T$χ$ = 155 MeV is determined by adjusting the Yukawa coupling y . We find reasonable agreement with the results of numerical simulations on the lattice for the pressure and related quantities. In the chiral limit, besides the divergence in the chiral susceptibility there is also a milder divergence in the susceptibility between the Polyakov loop and the chiral order parameter, with critical exponent β $-$ 1 . We compute derivatives with respect to a quark chemical potential to determine the susceptibilities for baryon number, the $χ$2n . Especially sensitive tests are provided by $χ$4 $-$ $χ$2 and by $χ$6 , which changes in sign about T$χ$ . In conclusion, the behavior of the susceptibilities in the chiral matrix model strongly suggests that as the temperature increases from T$χ$ , that the transition to deconfinement is significantly quicker than indicated by the measurements of the (renormalized) Polyakov loop on the lattice.« less}, number={3}, journal={Physical Review D}, author={Pisarski, Robert D. and Skokov, Vladimir V.}, year={2016}, pages={034015} }

For two flavors the tetraquark field is an isosinglet, and its effect is minimal. For three flavors, however, the tetraquark field transforms in the same representation of the chiral symmetry group as the usual chiral order parameter, and so for very light quarks there may be two chiral phase transitions, which are both of first order. In QCD, results from the lattice indicate that any transition from the tetraquark condensate is a smooth crossover. In the plane of temperature, $T$, and quark chemical potential, $\ensuremath{\mu}$, a crossover line for the tetraquark condensate is naturally related to the transition line for color superconductivity. We stress that including tetraquarks is essential in using effective models to determine the position of a critical end point in the plane of $T$ and $\ensuremath{\mu}$.

We compare the influence of homogeneous and inhomogeneous external fields, and find that the inhomogeneity near the Compton-scale increases particle production proportionally to the duration of the electric pulse. We also find, that when the inhomogeneity is restricted to a single direction, a significant component of the pair yield originates from the edge or surface where the electric field gradients are large, in agreement with the prediction of Heisenberg.}, booktitle={EPJ Web of Conferences}, author={Berényi, Dániel and Varró, Sándor and Lévai, Péter and Skokov, Vladimir V.}, editor={Varró, S. and Ádám, P.Editors}, year={2014}, pages={03001} }

To a random process with a 1/f power spectrum corresponds the maximum Gibbs–Shannon informational entropy. At stochastic resonance the informational entropy is minimum. A new behavior of a two-dimensional system at stochastic resonance has been revealed: at low frequencies of a periodic action with an increased white noise intensity the system trajectories are limited by two mutually perpendicular directions—anisotropic stochastic resonance.

The calculations are performed within the functional renormalization group approach, as well as in the mean-field approximation. We find, that there is a substantial influence of the underlying chiral phase transition on the properties of the probability distribution. In particular, for a physical pion mass, the distribution which includes the effect of mesonic fluctuations, differs considerably from both, the mean-field and Skellam distributions. The latter is considered as a reference for a non-critical behavior. A characteristic feature of the net quark number probability distribution is that, in the vicinity of the chiral crossover transition in the O(4) universality class, it is narrower than the corresponding mean-field and Skellam function. We study the volume dependence of the probability distribution, as well as the resulting cumulants, and discuss their approximate scaling properties.

In other ways, the transition is of second order: e.g., the specific heat diverges as $C \sim 1/(T-T_d)^{3/5}$ when $T \rightarrow T_d^+$.

It is shown that at a certain intensity of external white noise acting on phase transitions, the time and spatial spectra of fluctuations have power laws S ( f ) ∼ f − α and S ( k ) ∼ k − γ . The dependence of the exponents α and γ on the value of the diffusion coefficient determining the spatial interaction of fluctuations have been found. Extreme low-frequency fluctuations has been revealed and distribution functions of their duration P ( τ ) ∼ τ − β and size P ( s ) ∼ s − ν have been determined. It has been found that the exponent α of the frequency dependence of time spectra and the exponent β of the distribution function of the fluctuation duration are related by the relation α + β = 2 . The exponent of the spatial spectrum γ and the exponent of the size distribution function ν are related by a similar relation: γ + ν = 2 . The results of experimental studies on fluctuations in a typical nonequilibrium phase transition such as transient modes of water boiling on a wire heater are presented. It was demonstrated that the critical exponents, which describe the power dependence of power spectra of fluctuations and the amplitude distribution of extreme surges, are related by the relation α + β = 2 both in experiments and in the theoretical model of interacting heterogeneous phase transitions.}, number={13}, journal={Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications}, author={Koverda, V.P. and Skokov, V.N.}, year={2011}, pages={2468–2479} }

In the absence of external sources, this is nothing but the vacuum energy density. The key element of this derivation is the introduction of a temperature dependence into the expression for the bag constant. The non-perturbative analytical equation of state for gluon matter does not depend on the coupling constant, but instead introduces a dependence on the mass gap. This is responsible for the large-scale structure of the QCD ground state. The important thermodynamic quantities, such as the pressure, energy and entropy densities, etc, have been calculated. We show explicitly that the pressure may vary continuously around Tc = 266.5 MeV, whereas all other thermodynamic quantities undergo drastic changes at this point. The proposed analytical approach makes it possible to control for the first time the thermodynamics of gluon matter at low temperatures, below Tc. We reproduce the properties of the so-called fuzzy bag-type models through the presence of the mass gap in our equation of state.

The exponent α was found by the direct FFT method from numerical realizations of the Brownian motion processes. The exponent β of the distribution function P ( τ ) ∼ τ − β of the duration of low frequency extreme fluctuations was determined by numerical methods from the distributions of time of the first passage across a potential barrier with different realizations of white noise. The low frequency extreme fluctuations in many properties are similar to avalanches considered in models of self-organized criticality. The exponents α and β were determined directly from numerical realizations of random processes independently of each other.

Consequently back reactions arise from fermion and boson currents determining the time-dependent self-interacting background mean field. We explore the numerical solution with cylindric boundary conditions for the time evolution of the mean field as well as for the number- and energy densities for fermions and bosons.
