Non-thermal fixed points: effective weak-coupling for strongly correlated systems far from equilibrium
read the original abstract
Strongly correlated systems far from equilibrium can exhibit scaling solutions with a dynamically generated weak coupling. We show this by investigating isolated systems described by relativistic quantum field theories for initial conditions leading to nonequilibrium instabilities, such as parametric resonance or spinodal decomposition. The non-thermal fixed points prevent fast thermalization if classical-statistical fluctuations dominate over quantum fluctuations. We comment on the possible significance of these results for the heating of the early universe after inflation and the question of fast thermalization in heavy-ion collision experiments.

Attractor of hydrodynamic attractors
Second- and higher-order hydrodynamic attractors converge to the same universal curve before the Navier-Stokes limit, with the leading correction controlled only by second-order coefficients.

Thermal effects on Dark Matter production during cosmic reheating
Thermal corrections to reheating and freeze-in DM production rates are generally small in the computable regime but can be large in constructed counter-examples.
