We compare two non-relativistic (NR) reduction schemes (heavy-fermion and Foldy-Wouthuysen) that are used to derive low-energy effective-field-theory Lagrangians. We give the explicit transformation between the two types of fields to O(1/m^2), derived from a quite general, relativistic Lagrangian. Beyond leading order the NR reductions always involve the smaller components of the Dirac spinors that are to be integrated out to formulate the NR theory. Even so, the transformation between the NR Lagrangians can be carried out explicitly to O(1/m^2) using a field renormalization, as long as the lower components of the Lagrangian are known. The fixed coefficient corrections to some low-energy constants at O(1/m^2) will depend on the particular scheme chosen, but will match after the field renormalization.

Nonsymmorphic symmetry can induce exotic wallpaper fermions, e.g., hourglass fermion, fourfold-degenerate Dirac fermion, and Mobius fermion, as commonly believed only in nonsymmorphic wallpaper groups. Here, we extend the notion of wallpaper fermions to symmorphic wallpaper groups, and remarkably uncover the emergence of long-awaited third-order topological insulators. The symmetry analysis and k $cdot$ p models reveal that nonessential symmetries play an essential role for obtaining the previously overlooked hidden surface spectrum. Based on this, we present the hourglass fermion, fourfold-degenerate Dirac fermion, and Mobius fermion in the (001) surface of Tl$_4$XTe$_3$ (X = Pb/Sn) with a symmorphic wallpaper group $p4m$. Remarkably, 16 helical corner states reside on eight corners in Kramers pair, rendering the first real electronic material of third-order topological insulator. A time-reversal polarized octupole polarization is defined to uncover the nontrivial third-order topology, as is implemented by the 2$^{nd}$ and 3$^{rd}$ order Wilson loop calculations. Our results could considerably broaden the range of wallpaper fermions and lay the foundation for future experimental investigations of third-order topological insulators.

We calculate the second order viscous correction to the kinetic distribution, $delta f_{(2)}$, and use this result in a hydrodynamic simulation of heavy ion collisions to determine the complete second order correction to the harmonic spectrum, $v_n$. At leading order in a conformal fluid, the first viscous correction is determined by one scalar function, $chi_{0p}$. One moment of this scalar function is constrained by the shear viscosity. At second order in a conformal fluid, we find that $delta f(p)$ can be characterized by two scalar functions of momentum, $chi_{1p}$ and $chi_{2p}$. The momentum dependence of these functions is largely determined by the kinematics of the streaming operator. Again, one moment of these functions is constrained by the parameters of second order hydrodynamics, $tau_pi$ and $lambda_1$. The effect of $delta f_{(2)}$ on the integrated flow is small (up to $v_4$), but is quite important for the higher harmonics at modestly-large $p_T$. Generally, $delta f_{(2)}$ increases the value of $v_n$ at a given $p_T$, and is most important in small systems.
Following the idea of nucleon clustering and light-nuclei production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions close to the QCD critical-end point, we address the quantum effects affecting the interaction of several nucleons at finite temperature. For thi s aim we use the $K$-harmonics method to four-nucleon states ($alpha$ particle), and also develop a novel semiclassical flucton method at finite temperature, based on certain classical paths in Euclidean time, and apply it to two- and four-particle configurations. To study possible effects on the light-nuclei production close to the QCD critical point, we also made such calculations with modified internuclear potentials. For heavy-ion experiments, we propose new measurements of light-nuclei multiplicity ratios which may show enhancements due to baryon preclustering. We point out the special role of the $mathcal{O}(50)$ four-nucleon excitations of $alpha$-particle, feeding into the final multiplicities of $d,t$, $^3$He and $^4$He, and propose to directly look for their two-body decays.
The Linear Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model coupled to hydrodynamical background is extended to include transport of both light partons and heavy quarks through the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The LBT model includes b oth elastic and inelastic medium-interaction of both primary jet shower partons and thermal recoil partons within perturbative QCD (pQCD). It is shown to simultaneously describe the experimental data on heavy and light flavor hadron suppression in high-energy heavy-ion collisions for different centralities at RHIC and LHC energies. More detailed investigations within the LBT model illustrate the importance of both initial parton spectra and the shapes of fragmentation functions on the difference between the nuclear modifications of light and heavy flavor hadrons. The dependence of the jet quenching parameter $hat{q}$ on medium temperature and jet flavor is quantitatively extracted.

We show that the single, non-photonic electron nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}^e$ is affected by the thermal enhancement of the heavy-baryon to heavy-meson ratio in relativistic heavy-ion collisions with respect to proton-proton collisions. We ma ke use of the dynamical quark recombination model to compute such ratio and show that this produces a sizable suppression factor for $R_{AA}^e$ at intermediate transverse momenta. We argue that such suppression factor needs to be considered, in addition to the energy loss contribution, in calculations of $R_{AA}^e$
