Equation of State of dense QCD in external magnetic field

In this proceeding we present our first results of the study of the QCD Equation of State at non-zero baryon density and in external magnetic field. We focused on the first three non-vanishing expansion coefficients of pressure in chemical potential and their dependence on magnetic field. The study is carried out within lattice simulations with $N_f=2+1$ dynamical quarks with physical quark masses. To overcome the sign problem, the simulations are carried out at imaginary baryon chemical potential. Our results suggest that external magnetic field considerably enhances the expansion coefficients and modifies their dependence on temperature.

Lattice study of QCD at finite chiral density: topology and confinement

In this paper we study the properties of QCD at nonzero chiral density $ρ_5$, which is introduced through chiral chemical potential $μ_5$. The study is performed within lattice simulation of QCD with dynamical rooted staggered fermions. We first check that $ρ_5$ is generated at nonzero $μ_5$ and in the chiral limit observe $ρ_5 \sim Λ_{QCD}^2 μ_5$. We also test the possible connection between confinement and topological fluctuations. To this end, we measured the topological susceptibility $χ_{\mbox{\footnotesize top}}$ and string tension $σ$ for various values of $μ_5$. We observed that both string tension and chiral susceptibility grow with $μ_5$ and there is a strong correlation between these quantities. We thus conclude that the chiral chemical potential enhances topological fluctuations and that these fluctuations can indeed be closely related to the strength of confinement.

Lattice study of static quark-antiquark interactions in dense quark matter

In this paper we study the interactions among a static quark-antiquark pair in the presence of dense two-color quark matter with lattice simulation. To this end we compute Polyakov line correlation functions and determine the renormalized color averaged, color singlet and color triplet grand potentials. The color singlet grand potential allows us to elucidate the number of quarks induced by a static quark antiquark source, as well as the internal energy of such a pair in dense quark matter. We furthermore determine the screening length, which in the confinement phase is synonymous with the string breaking distance. The screening length is a decreasing function of baryon density, due to the possibility to break the interquark string via a scalar diquark condensate at high density. We also study the large distance properties of the color singlet grand potential in a dense medium and find that it is well described by a simple Debye screening formula, parameterized by a Debye mass and an effective coupling constant. The latter is of order of unity, i.e. even at large density two-color quark matter is a strongly correlated system.

Temperature dependence of bulk viscosity within lattice simulation of $SU(3)$--gluodynamics

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 temperatures within the range $T/T_c \in (0.9, 1.5)$. To extract the bulk viscosity from the correlation function we apply the Backus-Gilbert method and the Tikhonov regularization method. We show that the ratio $ζ/s$ is small in the region $T/T_c \geqslant 1.1-1.2$ and in the vicinity of the transition $T/T_c \leqslant 1.1-1.2$ it quickly rises. Our results are in agreement with previous lattice studies and in a reasonable agreement with other phenomenological approaches. Obtained values of the bulk viscosity are significantly larger than perturbative results, what confirms that QGP is a strongly correlated system.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of static potential in graphene

In this paper the interaction potential between static charges in suspended graphene is studied within the quantum Monte Carlo approach. We calculated the dielectric permittivity of suspended graphene for the set of temperatures and extrapolated our results to zero temperature. The dielectric permittivity at zero temperature has the following properties. At zero distance $ε=2.24\pm0.02$. Then it rises and at a large distance the dielectric permittivity reaches the plateau $ε\simeq4.20\pm0.66$. The results obtained in this paper allow to draw a conclusion that full account of many-body effects in the dielectric permittivity of suspended graphene gives $ε$ very close to the one-loop results. Contrary to the one-loop result, the two-loop prediction for the dielectric permittivity deviates from our result. So, one can expect large higher order corrections to the two-loop prediction for the dielectric permittivity of suspended graphene.

Study of shear viscosity of SU (2)-gluodynamics within lattice simulation

This paper is devoted to the study of two-point correlation function of the energy-momentum tensor T_{12}T_{12} for SU(2)-gluodynamics within lattice simulation of QCD. Using multilevel algorithm we carried out the measurement of the correlation function at the temperature T/T_c = 1.2. It is shown that lattice data can be described by spectral functions which interpolate between hydrodynamics at low frequencies and asymptotic freedom at high frequencies. The results of the study of spectral functions allowed us to estimate the ratio of shear viscosity to the entropy density η/s = 0.134 +- 0.057.

Many-body effects in graphene beyond the Dirac model with Coulomb interaction

This paper is devoted to development of perturbation theory for studying the properties of graphene sheet of finite size, at nonzero temperature and chemical potential. The perturbation theory is based on the tight-binding Hamiltonian and arbitrary interaction potential between electrons, which is considered as a perturbation. One-loop corrections to the electron propagator and to the interaction potential at nonzero temperature and chemical potential are calculated. One-loop formulas for the energy spectrum of electrons in graphene, for the renormalized Fermi velocity and also for the dielectric permittivity are derived.
