A new and finite family of solutions of hydrodynamics. Part I: Fits to pseudorapidity distributions
We highlight some of the interesting properties of a new and finite, exact
family of solutions of 1 + 1 dimensional perfect fluid relativistic
hydrodynamics. After reviewing the main properties of this family of solutions,
we present the formulas that connect it to the measured rapidity and
pseudo-rapidity densities and illustrate the results with fits to p+p
collisions at 8 TeV and Pb+Pb collisions at TeV.Comment: Invited talk of T. Csorgo at the WPCF 2018 conference in Cracow,

Semiclassical Time Evolution of the Holes from Luttinger Hamiltonian
We study the semi-classical motion of holes by exact numerical solution of
the Luttinger model. The trajectories obtained for the heavy and light holes
agree well with the higher order corrections to the abelian and the non-abelian
adiabatic theories in Ref. [1] [S. Murakami et al., Science 301, 1378(2003)],
respectively. It is found that the hole trajectories contain rapid oscillations
reminiscent of the "Zitterbewegung" of relativistic electrons. We also comment
on the non-conservation of helicity of the light holes.Comment: 4 pages, 5 fugure
From the Quantum Link Model on the Honeycomb Lattice to the Quantum Dimer Model on the Kagom\'e Lattice: Phase Transition and Fractionalized Flux Strings
We consider the -d quantum link model on the honeycomb lattice
and show that it is equivalent to a quantum dimer model on the Kagom\'e
lattice. The model has crystalline confined phases with spontaneously broken
translation invariance associated with pinwheel order, which is investigated
with either a Metropolis or an efficient cluster algorithm. External
half-integer non-Abelian charges (which transform non-trivially under the
center of the gauge group) are confined to each other
by fractionalized strings with a delocalized flux. The strands
of the fractionalized flux strings are domain walls that separate distinct
pinwheel phases. A second-order phase transition in the 3-d Ising universality
class separates two confining phases; one with correlated pinwheel
orientations, and the other with uncorrelated pinwheel orientations.Comment: 16 pages, 20 figures, 2 tables, two more relevant references and one
