Cover of Hadronic Transport Coefficients from Effective Field Theories
by Juan M. Torres-Rincon
Language: English
Release Date: September 16, 2013

This dissertation focuses on the calculation of transport coefficients in the matter created in a relativistic heavy-ion collision after chemical freeze-out. This matter can be well approximated using a pion gas out of equilibrium. We describe the theoretical framework needed to obtain the shear and...

Cover of Thermal Quantum Field Theory and Perturbative Non-Equilibrium Dynamics
by Peter Millington
Language: English
Release Date: October 29, 2013

The author develops a new perturbative formalism of non-equilibrium thermal quantum field theory for non-homogeneous backgrounds. As a result of this formulation, the author is able to show how so-called pinch singularities can be removed, without resorting to ad hoc prescriptions, or effective resummations...

Phenomenological Structure for the Large Deviation Principle in Time-Series Statistics

A method to control the rare events in non-equilibrium systems

by Takahiro Nemoto
Language: English
Release Date: November 6, 2015

This thesis describes a method to control rare events in non-equilibrium systems by applying physical forces to those systems but without relying on numerical simulation techniques, such as copying rare events. In order to study this method, the book draws on the mathematical structure of equilibrium...
