Lehmann, Ilya Charaev, Jeff Chiles, Marco Colangelo, Sae Woo Nam, and Karl K. Berggren Phys. Rev. D 106, 112005 (2022) – Published 9 December 2022 Synopsis:Dark Matter Goes Down to the Wire A superconducting nanowire detector places new bounds on how a hypothetical lightweight dark matter particle interacts with electrons.     Editors' Suggestion Fate of the critical endpoint at large Nc Péter Kovács, Győző Kovács, and Francesco Giacosa Phys. Rev. D 106, 116016 (2022) – Published 23 December 2022 The authors study the phase diagram of QCD-like theories, in the plane of temperature and chemical potential, using a Polyakov loop model. As the number of colors increases, a crossover line for the chiral transition enlarges, splits from that for deconfinement, and then turns into a first order line for deconfinement.     Editors' Suggestion Perturbation theory of large scale structure in the ΛCDM Universe: Exact time evolution and the two-loop power spectrum Matteo Fasiello, Tomohiro Fujita, and Zvonimir Vlah Phys. Rev. D 106, 123504 (2022) – Published 12 December 2022 The large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe is obviously nonlinear and very complicated. However, the scale of onset of nonlinearity is well separated from the size of the Universe which makes a large portion of the structure formation modes accessible to perturbation theory (PT). The latter is itself complicated by the time dependence of the λCDM background. The authors provide an exact all-order recursive solution for the PT kernels, which allows them to go beyond the Einstein-de Sitter approximation for the time dependence, and quantify the deviation at the two-loop level in the 10% range, a deviation detectible with upcoming observations.     Editors' Suggestion Holographic entropy production in a Bjorken expanding hot and dense strongly coupled quantum fluid Romulo Rougemont and Willians Barreto Phys. Rev. D 106, 126023 (2022) – Published 23 December 2022 The authors study the dynamics of droplets of quark-gluon plasma created in heavy iron collisions. The relativistic quantum fluid undergoes Bjorken flow expansion and is modeled as conformal N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. In particular, they investigate the holographic entropy production far from equilibrium where the horizon area is no longer a proper measure for the entropy but the area of a dynamic apparent horizon is assumed to be the right dual observable.     Editors' Suggestion Letter Higher derivative corrections and AdS5 black holes Nikolay Bobev, Vasil Dimitrov, Valentin Reys, and Annelien Vekemans Phys. Rev. D 106, L121903 (2022) – Published 23 December 2022 The authors investigate the precise holography between a 5d gauged supergravity and the dual superconformal field theory (CFT) on the 4d boundary. They show that four-derivative contributions to the action of supersymmetric black holes on the supergravity site matches precisely with certain subleading terms in the CFT index which are determined by anomalies.       American Physical Society: 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 ©2023 American Physical Society | All rights reserved   You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to Table of Content alerts.
