Non-Gaussian fluctuation dynamics in relativistic fluids (2212.14029v2)

Published 28 Dec 2022 in hep-th, cond-mat.stat-mech, hep-ph, and nucl-th

Abstract: We consider non-equilibrium evolution of non-Gaussian fluctuations within relativistic hydrodynamics relevant for the QCD critical point search in heavy-ion collision experiments. We rely on the hierarchy of relaxation time scales, which emerges in the hydrodynamic regime near the critical point, to focus on the slowest mode such as the fluctuations of specific entropy, whose equilibrium magnitude, non-Gaussianity and typical relaxation time are increasing as the critical point is approached. We derive evolution equations for the non-Gaussian correlators of this diffusive mode in an arbitrary relativistic hydrodynamic flow. We compare with the simpler case of the stochastic diffusion on a static homogeneous background and identify terms which are specific to the case of the full hydrodynamics with pressure fluctuations and flow.
