Color-electric conductivity in a viscous quark-gluon plasma

Several different transport processes, such as heat transport, momentum transport and charge transport, may take place at the same time in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The corresponding transport coefficients are heat conductivity, shear viscosity and electric conductivity respectively. In the present paper, we will study the color-electric conductivity of the QGP in presence of shear viscosity, which is focused on the connection between the charge transport and the momentum transport. To achieve that goal, we solve the viscous chromohydrodynamic equations which are obtained from the QGP kinetic theory associated with the distribution function modified by shear viscosity. According to the solved color fluctuations of hydrodynamic quantities we obtain the induced color current through which the color-electric conductivity is derived. Then we study viscous effects on the color-electric conductivity. In the viscous chromohydrodynamic approach, the conductivity properties of the QGP are mainly demonstrated by the longitudinal part of the color-electric conductivity. Shear viscosity has an appreciable impact on real and imaginary parts of the color-electric conductivity in some frequency region.

The refractive index in the viscous quark-gluon plasma

Under the framework of the viscous chromohydrodynamics, the gluon self-energy is derived for the quark-gluon plasma with shear viscosity. The viscous electric permittivity and magnetic permeability are evaluated from the gluon self-energy, through which the refraction index %in the %viscous quark-gluon plasma is investigated. The numerical analysis indicates that the refractive index becomes negative in some frequency range. The start point for that frequency range is around the electric permittivity pole, and the magnetic permeability pole determines the end point. As the increase of $η/s$, the frequency range for the negative refraction becomes wider.

The momentum analyticity of two-point correlators from perturbation theory and AdS/CFT

The momentum plane analyticity of two point function of a relativistic thermal field theory at zero chemical potential is explored. A general principle regarding the location of the singularities is extracted. In the case of the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at large $N_c$, a qualitative change in the nature of the singularity (branch points versus simple poles) from the weak coupling regime to the strong coupling regime is observed with the aid of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

The virial equation of state for unitary fermion thermodynamics with non-Gaussian correlations

We study the roles of the dynamical high order perturbation and statistically non-linear infrared fluctuation/correlation in the virial equation of state for the Fermi gas in the unitary limit. Incorporating the quantum level crossing rearrangement effects, the spontaneously generated entropy departing from the mean-field theory formalism leads to concise thermodynamical expressions. The dimensionless virial coefficients with complex non-local correlations are calculated up to the fourth order for the first time. The virial coefficients of unitary Fermi gas are found to be proportional to those of the ideal quantum gas with integer ratios through a general term formula. Counterintuitively, contrary to those of the ideal bosons ($a^{(0)}_2=-\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}$) or fermions($a^{(0)}_2=\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}$), the second virial coefficient $a_2$ of Fermi gas at unitarity is found to be equal to zero. With the vanishing leading order quantum correction, the BCS-BEC crossover thermodynamics manifests the famous pure classical Boyle's law in the Boltzmann regime. The non-Gaussian correlation phenomena can be validated by studying the Joule-Thomson effect.

Quantum rearrangement and self-consistent BCS-BEC crossover thermodynamics

Based on previous works, analytical calculational procedures for dealing with the strongly interacting fermions ground state are further developed through a medium dependent potential in terms of the Bethe-Peierls contact interaction model. The methods are exact in the unitary limit regime and they lead to the self-consistent equations analogous to the Hartree ones. The single particle energy spectrum rearrangement effects on the thermodynamics due to the Hugenholtz-van Hove theorem constraint are addressed. These effects lead to an additional instantaneous correlation potential contribution to the system physical chemical potential and pressure, i.e., equation of state, which enforces the classical thermodynamic consistency. The Dyson-Schwinger equations represent implicitly the various Bethe-Goldstone expansion ones. In a thermodynamically self-consistent way, the universal dimensionless factor is analytically calculated to be $ξ=\049$, which defines the ratio of the unitary fermions energy density to that of the ideal non-interacting ones at T=0.

A Possible Mechanism for the Low Shear Viscosity in the QGP Created by RHIC

We study the Anderson Localization effect on the shear viscosity in a system with random medium by Kubo formula. We show that this effect can reduce the shear viscosity nonperturbatively. Then we discuss its possible implementation in heavy-ion collisions, where the created heavy bound states or other collective modes may play the role of the random scatterer underlying Anderson Localization effect.

Novel effects of electromagnetic interaction on the correlation of nucleons in nuclear matter

The electromagnetic(EM) interactions between charged protons on the correlations of nucleons are discussed by introducing the Anderson-Higgs mechanism of broken U(1) EM symmetry into the relativistic nuclear theory with a parametric photon mass. The non-saturating Coulomb force contribution is emphasized on the equation of state of nuclear matter with charge symmetry breaking(CSB) at finite temperature and the breached $^1S_0$ pairing correlations of proton-proton and neutron-neutron. The universal properties given by an order parameter field with a non-zero vacuum expectation value (VEV) nearby phase transition are explored within the mean field theory(MFT) level. This mechanism can be extended to the charged or charge neutralized strongly coupling multi-components system for the discussion of binding or pairing issues.

$^1 S_0$ pairing correlation in symmetric nuclear matter with Debye screening effects

The $^1 S_0$ pairing of symmetric nuclear matter is discussed in the frame work of relativistic nuclear theory with Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs). The in-medium nucleon and meson propagators are treated in a more self-consistent way through meson polarizations. The screening effects on mesons due to in-medium nucleon excitation are found to reduce the $^1S_0$ pairing gap and shift remarkably the gap peak to low density region.

In-medium meson effects on the equation of state of hot and dense nuclear matter

The influence of the in-medium mesons on the effective nucleon mass and in turn on the equation of state of hot/dense nuclear matter is discussed in the Walecka model. Due to the self-consistent treatment of couplings between nucleons and $σ$ and $ω$ mesons, the temperature and density dependence of the effective hadron masses approaches more towards the Brown-Rho scaling law, and the compression modulus $K$ is reduced from $550 MeV$ in mean field theory to an accepted value $318.2 MeV$.

Spectral Function of rho in Dense and Hot Hadronic Matter

The spectral function of rho meson in hot/dense hadronic matter is studied by taking into account the nucleon-loop on quantum hadrondynamics model level. Different from the hot pion gas effect which changes the spectral function slightly, the nucleon-antinucleon polarization (Dirac sea) makes the spectral function very sharp and shifted towards the low invariant mass region significantly due to the decreasing effective nucleon mass.

Non-Abelian Medium Effects in Quark-Gluon Plasma

Based on the kinetic theory, the non-Abelian medium property of hot Quark-Gluon Plasma is investigated. The nonlinearity of the plasma comes from two aspects: The nonlinear wave-wave interaction and self-interaction of color field. The non-Abelian color permittivity is obtained by expanding the kinetic equations to third order. As an application, the nonlinear Landau damping rate and the nonlinear eigenfrequency shift are calculated in the longwave length limit.
