We study the effects of a finite chemical potential on the occurrence of cavitation in a quark gluon plasma (QGP). We solve the evolution equations of second order viscous relativistic hydrodynamics using three different equations of state. The first one was derived in lattice QCD and represents QGP at zero chemical potential. It was previously used in the study of cavitation. The second equation of state also comes from lattice QCD and is a recent parametrization of the QGP at finite chemical potential. The third one is similar to the MIT equation of state with chemical potential and includes nonperturbative effects through the gluon condensates. We conclude that at finite chemical potential cavitation in the QGP occurs earlier than at zero chemical potential. We also consider transport coefficients from a holographic model of a non-conformal QGP at zero chemical potential. In this case cavitation does not occur.

We summarize the derivation of the finite temperature, finite chemical potential thermodynamic potential in the bag-model approximation to quantum chromodynamics (QCD) that includes a finite $s$-quark mass in the Feynman diagram contributions for both zero-order and two-loop corrections to the quark interaction. The thermodynamic potential for quarks in QCD is a desired ingredient for computations of the equation of state in the early universe, supernovae, neutron stars, and heavy-ion collisions. The 2-loop contributions are normally divergent and become even more difficult in the limit of finite quark masses and finite chemical potential. We introduce various means to interpolate between the low and high chemical potential limits. Although physically well motivated, we show that the infinite series Pade rational polynomial interpolation scheme introduces spurious poles. Nevertheless, we show that lower order interpolation schemes such as polynomial interpolation reproduce the Pade result without the presence of spurious poles. We propose that in this way one can determine the equation of state for the two-loop corrections for arbitrary chemical potential, temperature and quark mass. This provides a new realistic bag-model treatment of the QCD equation of state. We compute the QCD phase diagram with up to the two-loop corrections. We show that the two-loop corrections decrease the pressure of the quark-gluon plasma and therefore increase the critical temperature and chemical potential of the phase transition. We also show, however, that the correction for finite $s$-quark mass in the two-loop correction serves to decrease the critical temperature for the quark-hadron phase transition in the early universe.
We calculate transport coefficients of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) within the dynamical quasiparticle model (DQPM) by explicitly computing the parton interaction rates as a function of temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $mu_B$ on the basis of the DQPM couplings and partonic propagators. The latter are extracted from lattice QCD by matching the equation of state, entropy density and energy density at $mu_B$= 0. For baryon chemical potentials $0 leq mu_B leq 500 MeV$ we employ a scaling Ansatz for the effective coupling which was shown before to lead to thermodynamic consistent results in this range. We compute the ratio of the shear and bulk viscosities to the entropy density, i.e. $eta/s$ and $zeta/s$, the electric conductivity $sigma_0/T$ as well as the baryon diffusion coefficient $kappa_B$ and compare to related approaches from the literature. We find that the ratios $eta/s$ and $zeta/s$ as well as $sigma_0/T$ are in accord with the results from lattice QCD at $mu_B$=0 and only weakly depend on the ratio $T/T_c(mu_B)$ where $T_c(mu_B)$ denotes the critical temperature at finite baryon chemical potential.
The deconfinement transition region between hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma is studied for finite volumes. Assuming simple model equations of state and a first order phase transition, we find that fluctuations in finite volumes hinder a sharp separation between the two phases around the critical temperature, leading to a rounding of the phase transition. For reaction volumes expected in heavy ion experiments, the softening of the equation of state is reduced considerably. This is especially true when the requirement of exact color-singletness is included in the QGP equation of state.
We have attempted to build first some simplified model to map the interaction of quarks and gluons, which can be contained by their thermodynamical quantity like entropy density, obtained from calculation of lattice quantum chromo dynamics (LQCD). With respect to entropy density of the standard non-interacting massless quark gluon plasma (QGP), its interacting values from LQCD simulation are reduced as we go from higher to lower temperature through the cross-over of quark-hadron phase transition. By parameterizing increasing degeneracy factor or increasing interaction-fugacity or decreasing thermal width of quarks and gluons with temperature, we have matched LQCD data.Using that interaction picture, shear viscosity and electrical conductivity are calculated. For getting nearly perfect fluid nature of QGP, interaction might have some role when we consider temperature dependent thermal width.
Wakes created by a parton moving through a static and infinitely extended quark-gluon plasma are considered. In contrast to former investigations collisions within the quark-gluon plasma are taken into account using a transport theoretical approach (Boltzmann equation) with a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collision term. Within this model it is shown that the wake structure changes significantly compared to the collisionless case.
