Dynamics of QCD Matter -- current status

In this article, there are 18 sections discussing various current topics in the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and related phenomena, which will serve as a snapshot of the current state of the art. Section 1 reviews experimental results of some recent light-flavored particle production data from ALICE collaboration. Other sections are mostly theoretical in nature. Very strong but transient magnetic field created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions could have important observational consequences. This has generated a lot of theoretical activity in the last decade. Sections 2, 7, 9, 10 and 11 deal with the effects of the magnetic field on the properties of the QCD matter. There are several unanswered questions about the QCD phase diagram. Sections 3, 11 and 18 discuss various aspects of the QCD phase diagram and phase transitions. Recent years have witnessed interesting developments in foundational aspects of hydrodynamics and their application to heavy-ion collisions. Sections 12, 15, 16 and 17 of this article probe some aspects of this exciting field. Transport coefficients together with their temperature- and density-dependence, are essential inputs in hydrodynamical calculations. Sections 5, 8 and 14 deal with calculation/estimation of various transport coefficients (shear and bulk viscosity, thermal conductivity, relaxation times, etc.) of quark matter and hadronic matter. Sections 4, 6 and 13 deals with interesting new developments in the field. Section 4 discusses color dipole gluon distribution function at small transverse momentum in the form of a series of Bells polynomials. Section 6 discusses the properties of Higgs boson in the quark gluon plasma using Higgs-quark interaction. Section 13 discusses modification of coalescence model to incorporate viscous corrections and application of this model.

CNN-based driving of block partitioning for intra slices encoding

This paper provides a technical overview of a deep-learning-based encoder method aiming at optimizing next generation hybrid video encoders for driving the block partitioning in intra slices. An encoding approach based on Convolutional Neural Networks is explored to partly substitute classical heuristics-based encoder speed-ups by a systematic and automatic process. The solution allows controlling the trade-off between complexity and coding gains, in intra slices, with one single parameter. This algorithm was proposed at the Call for Proposals of the Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) on video compression with capability beyond HEVC. In All Intra configuration, for a given allowed topology of splits, a speed-up of $\times 2$ is obtained without BD-rate loss, or a speed-up above $\times 4$ with a loss below 1\% in BD-rate.

Exact solutions and attractors of higher-order viscous fluid dynamics for Bjorken flow

We consider causal higher order theories of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics in the limit of one-dimensional boost-invariant expansion and study the associated dynamical attractor. We obtain evolution equations for the inverse Reynolds number as a function of Knudsen number. The solutions of these equations exhibit attractor behavior which we analyze in terms of Lyapunov exponents using several different techniques. We compare the attractors of the second-order Müller-Israel-Stewart (MIS), transient DNMR, and third-order theories with the exact solution of the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation-time approximation. It is shown that for Bjorken flow the third-order theory provides a better approximation to the exact kinetic theory attractor than both MIS and DNMR theories. For three different choices of the time dependence of the shear relaxation rate we find analytical solutions for the energy density and shear stress and use these to study the attractors analytically. By studying these analytical solutions at both small and large Knudsen numbers we characterize and uniquely determine the attractors and Lyapunov exponents. While for small Knudsen numbers the approach to the attractor is exponential, strong power-law decay of deviations from the attractor and rapid loss of initial state memory is found even for large Knudsen numbers. Implications for the applicability of hydrodynamics in far-off-equilibrium situations are discussed.

Analytical solutions of causal relativistic hydrodynamic equations for Bjorken and Gubser flows

We obtain general analytical solutions of third-order viscous hydrodynamic equations for Bjorken and Gubser flows in systems with vanishing bulk viscosity and chemical potential, and having a constant shear relaxation time. We also analytically characterize and determine the hydrodynamic attractors for such systems by studying the universal behavior of these solutions at both early and late times. Finally we study the properties of these hydrodynamic attractors for transport coefficients obtained from relativistic kinetic theory in the relaxation-time approximation.
