Turbulent spectrum created by non-Abelian plasma instabilities

Journal Article Arnold, Peter ; Moore, Guy D ; Department of Physics, McGill University, 3600 University St., Montreal QC H3A 2T8 - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Recent numerical work on the fate of plasma instabilities in weakly-coupled non-Abelian gauge theory has shown the development of a cascade of energy from long to short wavelengths. This cascade has a steady-state spectrum, analogous to the Kolmogorov spectrum for turbulence in hydrodynamics or for energy cascades in other systems. In this paper, we theoretically analyze processes responsible for this cascade and find a steady-state spectrum f{sub k}{approx}k{sup -2}, where f{sub k} is the phase-space density of particles with momentum k. The exponent -2 is consistent with results from numerical simulations. We also discuss implications of the emerging picture ofmore »« less

Note on Schwinger mechanism and a non-Abelian instability in a non-Abelian plasma

Journal Article Nair, V P ; Yelnikov, Alexandr - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We point out that there is a non-Abelian instability for a non-Abelian plasma which does not allow both for a net nonzero color charge and the existence of field configurations which are coherent over a volume v whose size is determined by the chemical potential. The basic process which leads to this result is the Schwinger decay of chromoelectric fields, for the case where the field arises from commutators of constant potentials, rather than as the curl of spacetime dependent potentials. The case where instability is obtained can be expressed in terms of fields (with constant potentials) as F{sup a{mu}{nu}F}{submore »« less

Model of chiral spin liquids with Abelian and non-Abelian topological phases

Journal Article Chen, Jyong-Hao ; Mudry, Christopher ; Chamon, Claudio ; ... - Physical Review B

In this article, we present a two-dimensional lattice model for quantum spin-1/2 for which the low-energy limit is governed by four flavors of strongly interacting Majorana fermions. We study this low-energy effective theory using two alternative approaches. The first consists of a mean-field approximation. The second consists of a random phase approximation (RPA) for the single-particle Green's functions of the Majorana fermions built from their exact forms in a certain one-dimensional limit. The resulting phase diagram consists of two competing chiral phases, one with Abelian and the other with non-Abelian topological order, separated by a continuous phase transition. Remarkably, themore »« less

Far-from-equilibrium dynamics of a strongly coupled non-Abelian plasma with non-zero charge density or external magnetic field

Journal Article Fuini, John F. ; Yaffe, Laurence G. - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Using holography, we study the evolution of a spatially homogeneous, far from equilibrium, strongly coupled N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma with a non-zero charge density or a background magnetic field. This gauge theory problem corresponds, in the dual gravity description, to an initial value problem in Einstein-Maxwell theory with homogeneous but anisotropic initial conditions. We explore the dependence of the equilibration process on different aspects of the initial departure from equilibrium and, while controlling for these dependencies, examine how the equilibration dynamics are affected by the presence of a non-vanishing charge density or an external magnetic field. The equilibrationmore »« less
