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.

The correlation between the harmonic flow and the transverse flow in relativistic heavy ion collisions is calculated in the hydrodynamic model. The partial correlation coefficient, corrected for fluctuations of multiplicity, is compared to experiment
al data. Estimators of the final transverse and harmonic flow are used to predict the value of the correlation coefficient from the moments of the initial distribution. A good description of the hydrodynamic simulation results is obtained if the estimator for the final transverse flow, besides the most important transverse size and entropy, includes also the eccentricities.
The dilepton transverse momentum spectra and invariant mass spectra for low $p_T <0.15$~GeV/c in Au+Au collisions of different centralities at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV are studied within the parton-hadron-string dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. Th
e PHSD describes the whole evolution of the system on a microscopic basis, incorporates hadronic and partonic degrees-of-freedom, the dynamical hadronization of partons and hadronic rescattering. For dilepton production in p+p, p+A and A+A reactions the PHSD incorporates the leading hadronic and partonic channels (also for heavy flavors) and includes in-medium effects such as a broadening of the vector meson spectral functions in hadronic matter and a modification of initial heavy-flavor correlations by interactions with the partonic and hadronic medium. The transport calculations reproduce well the momentum integrated invariant mass spectra from the STAR Collaboration for minimum bias Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV, while the description of the STAR data - when gating on low $p_T < 0.15$ GeV/c - is getting worse when going from central to peripheral collisions. An analysis of the transverse momentum spectra shows that the data for peripheral (60-80%) collisions are well reproduced for $p_T>0.2$ GeV/c while the strong peak at low $p_T < 0.15$ GeV/c, that shows up in the experimental data for the mass bins ($0.4 < M < 0.7$ GeV and $1.2 < M < 2.6$ GeV), is fully missed by the PHSD and cannot be explained by the standard in-medium effects. This provides a new puzzle for microscopic descriptions of low $p_T$ dilepton data from the STAR Collaboration.
We calculate the cross section and transverse-momentum ($P_{bot}$) distribution of the Breit-Wheeler process in relativistic heavy-ion collisions and their dependence on collision impact parameter ($b$). To accomplish this, the Equivalent Photon Appr
oximation (EPA) was generalized in a more differential way compared to the approach traditionally used for inclusive collisions. In addition, a lowest-order QED calculation with straightline assumption was performed as a standard baseline for comparison. The cross section as a function of $b$ is consistent with previous calculations using the equivalent one-photon distribution function. Most importantly, the $P_{bot}$ shape from this model is strongly dependent on impact parameter and can quantitatively explain the $P_{bot}$ broadening observed recently by RHIC and LHC experiments. This broadening effect from the initial QED field strength should be considered in studying possible trapped magnetic field and multiple scattering in a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The impact-parameter sensitive observable also provides a controllable tool for studying extreme electromagnetic fields.
A systematic analysis of correlations between different orders of $p_T$-differential flow is presented, including mode coupling effects in flow vectors, correlations between flow angles (a.k.a. event-plane correlations), and correlations between flow
magnitudes, all of which were previously studied with integrated flows. We find that the mode coupling effects among differential flows largely mirror those among the corresponding integrated flows, except at small transverse momenta where mode coupling contributions are small. For the fourth- and fifth-order flow vectors $V_4$ and $V_5$ we argue that the event plane correlations can be understood as the ratio between the mode coupling contributions to these flows and and the flow magnitudes. We also find that for $V_4$ and $V_5$ the linear response contribution scales linearly with the corresponding cumulant-defined eccentricities but not with the standard eccentricities.
The correlation between the mean transverse momentum of outgoing particles, $langle p_t rangle$, and the magnitude of anisotropic flow, $v_n$, has recently been measured in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, as a function of the coll
ision centrality. We confirm the previous observation that event-by-event hydrodynamics predicts a correlation between $v_n$ and $langle p_t rangle$ that is similar to that measured in data. We show that the magnitude of this correlation can be directly predicted from the initial condition of the hydrodynamic calculation, for $n=2,3$, if one replaces $v_n$ by the corresponding initial-state anisotropy, $varepsilon_n$, and $langle p_trangle$ by the total energy per unit rapidity of the fluid at the beginning of the hydrodynamic expansion.
