abstract

We study the dynamics of weakly coupled non-abelian plasmas within the frameworks of classical-statistical lattice gauge-theory and kinetic theory. We focus on a class of systems which are highly occupied, isotropic at all times and initially characterized by a single momentum scale. These represent an idealized version of the situation in relativistic heavy ion-collisions in the color-glass condensate picture, where on a time scale $1/Q_s$ after the collision of heavy nuclei a longitudinally expanding plasma characterized by the saturation scale $Q_s$ is formed. Our results indicate that the system evolves according to a turbulent Kolmogorov cascade in the classical regime. Taking this into account, the kinetic description is able to reproduce characteristic features of the evolution correctly.

  1. Understanding thermalization in a non-Abelian gauge theory in terms of its soft modes

    hep-lat 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Lyapunov exponents of soft SU(2) gluon modes give a thermalization time of about 0.5 fm/c at 600 MeV and a maximum of chaos at the deconfinement temperature.

  2. Attractodynamics in 0+1D

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Attractodynamics constructs a macroscopic closure around a nonthermal attractor; in the 0+1D BSY kinetic model, ideal and viscous truncations track the full kinetic evolution, with the viscous extension improving agre...

  3. Revisiting the sphaleron and axion production rates in QCD at high temperatures

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations give sphaleron rates in hot QCD plasmas and show axion production rates deviate from perturbative predictions at high temperatures.

  4. Jet quenching in out-of-equilibrium QCD matter

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Medium-induced gluon radiation computed with kinetic-theory backgrounds shows a persistent, non-vanishing imprint of the pre-equilibrium stage on jet spectra, so jet observables can probe early-time dynamics in heavy-...
