Quarkonia Correlators Above Deconfinement
We study the quarkonia correlators above deconfinement using the potential
model with screened temperature-dependent potentials. We find that while the
qualitative features of the spectral functions, such as the survival of the 1S
state, can be reproduced by potential models, the temperature dependence of the
correlators disagree with the recent lattice data.Comment: 21 pages, 26 eps figure
Identification of Piecewise Linear Models of Complex Dynamical Systems
The paper addresses the realization and identification problem or a subclass
of piecewise-affine hybrid systems. The paper provides necessary and sufficient
conditions for existence of a realization, a characterization of minimality,
and an identification algorithm for this subclass of hybrid systems. The
considered system class and the identification problem are motivated by
applications in systems biology
Chiral transition and deconfinement transition in QCD with the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action
We report preliminary results on the chiral and deconfinement aspects of the
QCD transition at finite temperature using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark
(HISQ) action on lattices with temporal extent of N_{\tau}=6 and 8. The chiral
aspects of the transition are studied in terms of quark condensates and the
disconnected chiral susceptibility. We study the deconfinement transition in
terms of the strange quark number susceptibility and the renormalized Polyakov
loop. We made continuum estimates for some quantities and find reasonably good
agreement between our results and the recent continuum extrapolated results
obtained with the stout staggered quark action.Comment: Talk presented by P. Petreczky at workshop Dense Matter 2010, April

S-Wave Quarkonia in Potential Models
We discuss S-wave quarkonia correlators and spectral function using the
Wong-potential, and show that these do not agree with the lattice results.Comment: based on talk presented at Strangeness in Quark Matter, UCLA, March

QCD thermodynamics from 3d adjoint Higgs model
The screening masses of hot SU(N) gauge theory, defined as poles of the
corresponding propagators are studied in 3d adjoint Higgs model, considered as
an effective theory of QCD, using coupled gap equations and lattice Monte-Carlo
simulations (for N=2). Using so-called lambda gauges non-perturbative evidence
for gauge independence of the pole masses within this class of gauges is given.
A possible application of the screening masses for the resummation of the free
energy is discussed.Comment: Talk given at the 5th International Workshop on Thermal Field Theory

well as possible consequences for quarkonium production in heavy ion
collisions.Comment: Invited talk at SQM 2009, Buzios, Brazil, Sep. 27 -Oct. 2 2009,

Excited hadrons as a signal for quark-gluon plasma formation
At the quark-hadron transition, when quarks get confined to hadrons, certain
orbitally excited states, namely those which have excitation energies above the
respective states of the same order as the transition temperature
, may form easily because of thermal velocities of quarks at the
transition temperature. We propose that the ratio of multiplicities of such
excited states to the respective states can serve as an almost model
independent signal for the quark-gluon plasma formation in relativistic
heavy-ion collisions. For example, the ratio of multiplicities of
and when plotted
with respect to the center of mass energy of the collision (or vs.
centrality/number of participants), should show a jump at the value of
beyond which the QGP formation occurs. This should happen
irrespective of the shape of the overall plot of vs. . Recent
data from RHIC on vs. N for large values of
N may be indicative of such a behavior, though there are large error
bars. We give a list of several other such candidate hadronic states.Comment: 19 pages, RevTex, no figures, minor change
