We study correlations between the harmonic flow vectors squared measured at different transverse momenta. One of the flow harmonics squared is taken at a fixed transverse momentum and correlated to the momentum averaged harmonic flow squared of the same order. Such four particle correlators, dependent on transverse momentum, have been recently measured experimentally. The correlation based on four-particle correlators allows the independent measurement of the flow vector and flow magnitude correlation coefficient. Also, the correlation of the harmonic flow angles as a function of transverse momentum can be extracted. Results are compared to the preliminary data of the ALICE Collaboration. We also present the predictions for the momentum dependent correlation coefficient between mixed flow harmonics. The correlations between squares of mixed harmonics can serve as a way to independently measure the flow vector, flow magnitude, and flow angle correlations, and could be used to gain additional information on the fluctuating initial state and the dynamics in heavy-ion collisions.
Higher order symmetric cumulants of global collective observables in heavy ion collisions are studied. The symmetric cumulants can be straightforwardly constructed for scalar observables: the average transverse momentum, the multiplicity, and the squares of harmonic flow vectors. Third and fourth order cumulants are calculated in the hydrodynamic model. A linear predictor of the average transverse momentum and harmonic flow coefficients in a collision is used to predict the value of the cumulants from the moments of the initial distribution. The symmetric cumulants divided by the averages (or the standard deviations) of the considered observables can be used as a fine tool to study correlations present in the initial state of the collision.
