Relativistic Kinetic Equations for Finite Domains and Freeze-out Problem

The relativistic kinetic equations for the two domains separated by the hypersurface with both space- and time-like parts are derived. The particle exchange between the domains separated by the time-like boundaries generates source terms and modifies the collision term of the kinetic equation. The correct hydrodynamic equations for the ``hydro+cascade'' models are obtained and their differences from existing freeze-out models of the hadronic matter are discussed

Physical mechanism of the (tri)critical point generation

We discuss some ideas resulting from a phenomenological relation recently declared between the tension of string connecting the static quark-antiquark pair and surface tension of corresponding cylindrical bag. This relation analysis leads to the temperature of vanishing surface tension coefficient of the QGP bags at zero baryonic charge density as T_\sigma = 152.9 +- 4.5 MeV. We develop the view point that this temperature value is not a fortuitous coincidence with the temperature of (partial) chiral symmetry restoration as seen in the lattice QCD simulations. Besides, we argue that T_\sigma defines the QCD (tri)critical endpoint temperature and claim that a negative value of surface tension coefficient recently discovered is not a sole result, but should also exist in ordinary liquids at the supercritical temperatures.Comment: Talk given at the Conference "Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement (CPOD)" that held on August 23 - 29, 2010, JINR, Dubna, Russia.
