The evolution of non-hydrodynamic slow processes near the QCD critical point is explored with the novel Hydro+ framework, which extends the conventional hydrodynamic description by coupling it to additional explicitly evolving slow modes describing long wavelength fluctuations. Their slow relaxation is controlled by critical behavior of the correlation length and is independent from gradients of matter density and pressure that control the evolution of the hydrodynamic quantities. In this exploratory study we follow the evolution of the slow modes on top of a simplified QCD matter background, allowing us to clearly distinguish, and study both separately and in combination, the main effects controlling the dynamics of critical slow modes. In particular, we show how the evolution of the slow modes depend on their wave number, the expansion of and advection by the fluid background, and the behavior of the correlation length. Non-equilibrium contributions from the slow modes to bulk matter properties that affect the bulk dynamics (entropy, pressure, temperature and chemical potential) are discussed and found to be small.

A quantitatively reliable theoretical description of the dynamics of fluctuations in non-equilibrium is indispensable in the experimental search for the QCD critical point by means of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this work we consider
the fluctuations of the net-baryon density which becomes the slow, critical mode near the critical point. Due to net-baryon number conservation the dynamics is described by the fluid dynamical diffusion equation, which we extend to contain a white noise stochastic current. Including nonlinear couplings from the 3d Ising model universality class in the free energy functional, we solve the fully interacting theory in a finite size system. We observe that purely Gaussian white noise generates non-Gaussian fluctuations, but finite size effects and exact net-baryon number conservation lead to significant deviations from the expected behavior in equilibrated systems. In particular the skewness shows a qualitative deviation from infinite volume expectations. With this benchmark established we study the real-time dynamics of the fluctuations. We recover the expected dynamical scaling behavior and observe retardation effects and the impact of critical slowing down near the pseudo-critical temperature.
The expression for the dynamical spectral structure of the density fluctuation near the QCD critical point has been derived using linear response theory within the purview of Israel-Stewart relativistic viscous hydrodynamics. The change in spectral s
tructure of the system as it moves toward critical end point has been studied. The effects of the critical point have been introduced in the system through a realistic equation of state and the scaling behaviour of various transport coefficients and thermodynamic response functions. We have found that the Brillouin and the Rayleigh peaks are distinctly visible when the system is away from critical point but the peaks tend to merge near the critical point. The sensitivity of structure of the spectral function on wave vector ($k$) of the sound wave has been demonstrated. It has been shown that the Brillouin peaks get merged with the Rayleigh peak because of the absorption of sound waves in the vicinity of the critical point.
The experimental search for the QCD critical point by means of relativistic heavy-ion collisions necessitates the development of dynamical models of fluctuations. In this work we study the fluctuations of the net-baryon density near the critical poin
t. Due to net-baryon number conservation the correct dynamics is given by the fluid dynamical diffusion equation, which we extend by a white noise stochastic term to include intrinsic fluctuations. We quantify finite resolution and finite size effects by comparing our numerical results to analytic expectations for the structure factor and the equal-time correlation function. In small systems the net-baryon number conservation turns out to be quantitatively and qualitatively important, as it introduces anticorrelations at larger distances. Including nonlinear coupling terms in the form of a Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional we observe non-Gaussian fluctuations quantified by the excess kurtosis. We study the dynamical properties of the system close to equilibrium, for a sudden quench in temperature and a Hubble-like temperature evolution. In the real-time dynamical systems we find the important dynamical effects of critical slowing down, weakening of the extremal value and retardation of the fluctuation signal. In this work we establish a set of general tests, which should be met by any model propagating fluctuations, including upcoming $3+1$ dimensional fluctuating fluid dynamics.
We present a fully dynamical model to study the chiral and deconfinement transition of QCD simultaneously. The quark degrees of freedom constitute a heat bath in local equilibrium for both order parameters, the sigma field and a dynamical Polyakov lo
op. The nonequilibrium evolution of these fields is described by Langevin equations including dissipation and noise. In several quench scenarios we are able to observe a delay in the relaxation times near the transition temperature for a critical point as well as a first-order phase transition scenario. During the hydrodynamical expansion of a hot quark fluid we find a strong enhancement of thermal fluctuations at the first-order transition compared to a scenario with a critical point.
Fireballs created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at different beam energies have been argued to follow different trajectories in the QCD phase diagram in which the QCD critical point serves as a landmark. Using a (1+1)-dimensional model setting
with transverse homogeneity, we study the complexities introduced by the fact that the evolution history of each fireball cannot be characterized by a single trajectory but rather covers an entire swath of the phase diagram, with the finally emitted hadron spectra integrating over contributions from many different trajectories. Studying the phase diagram trajectories of fluid cells at different space-time rapidities, we explore how baryon diffusion shuffles them around, and how they are affected by critical dynamics near the QCD critical point. We find a striking insensitivity of baryon diffusion to critical effects. Its origins are analyzed and possible implications discussed.
