abstract
We study the dynamics of heavy quarks in a thermalized quark-gluon plasma with a time-correlated thermal noise, $\eta$. In this case it is said that $\eta$ has memory. We use an integro-differential Langevin equation in which the memory enters via the thermal noise and the dissipative force. We assume that the time correlations of the noise decay exponentially on a time scale, $\tau$, that we treat as a free parameter. We compute the effects of $\tau\neq 0$ on the thermalization time of the heavy quarks, on their momentum broadening and on the nuclear modification factor. We find that overall memory slows down the momentum evolution of heavy quarks: in fact, transverse momentum broadening and the formation of $R_{AA}$ are slowed down by memory and the thermalization time of the heavy quarks become larger. The potential impact on other observables is discussed briefly.

Covariant equations of motion of massive spinning particles in a background Yang-Mills field
A spinning quark in a background Yang-Mills field obeys a new, constraint-preserving, gauge-invariant set of classical equations of motion that reduce to the Wong equations when spin effects are turned off.

Melting of $c \bar c$ and $b \bar b$ pairs in the pre-equilibrium stage of proton-nucleus collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
Color decorrelation in the evolving glasma melts roughly half of initially singlet charm and bottom quark pairs within about 0.4 to 0.5 fm/c after their formation in proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC.

Nonequilibrium approach to heavy-quark transport
Heavy-quark transport in quark-gluon plasma is derived from the Kadanoff-Baym equation; off-shell and memory effects reduce scattering rates and slow relaxation.

Effect of Coriolis Force on Diffusion of D Meson
D meson spatial diffusion in a rotating hadron gas becomes anisotropic, with perpendicular and Hall components controlled by the Coriolis force and the ratio of relaxation time to rotation time.

Non-Markovian heavy-quark equilibration and equilibrium correlation function in a thermal medium
Memory (colored noise) changes the transient equilibration of heavy quarks but leaves their asymptotic spatial diffusion coefficient unchanged in this Langevin model.
