Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is established as the fundamental underlying theory of the strong interaction, yet there are only few firmly established aspects when it comes to its rich phase diagram. There are, though, systems which did/may happen to wander around in the QCD phase diagram within environments that are so extreme, in terms of temperature and/or density, as to accommodate other QCD phases than the hadronic one that we are more familiar with. These systems are our Universe, in the first microseconds after the “Big Bang”, Neutron Stars (even more so in their mergers), heavy ions in their collisions and, theoretically rather than practically speaking, a large part of modern supercomputers around the globe. We can, indeed, use supercomputers to simulate strong interaction matter under extreme conditions thanks to an almost 50-years-old numerical framework for describing non perturbative phenomena in QCD via Monte Carlo simulations: lattice QCD. In this talk we will discuss how lattice QCD simulations allow us to explore, from a theoretical perspective, some rather interesting portions of the QCD phase diagram (in temperature and nonzero net isospin density directions). We will also discuss how we try to learn about interesting regimes, like that of nonzero net baryon densities, that lattice QCD fails accessing, by extending our parameter space even further (varying i.e. the microscopic parameters of the theory away from their physical value) and then exploiting the universal features of continuous phase transitions. |

What is an integrable system? Intuitively, an integrable system is a dynamical system that can be integrated directly. While in principle integrable systems should be very rare, it happens that in nature, a lot of fundamental systems are integrable such as many models of nonlinear waves, models in statistical mechanics and in theory of random matrices. The study of nonlinear waves has led to many remarkable discoveries, one of them being 'solitons', found some 50 years ago. Solitons motivated the development of the Inverse Scattering Transform (IST). History and some examples will be discussed. Finally I will present some universality results about small dispersion limits and semiclassical limits of nonlinear dispersive waves. |

In this talk, we consider a family of tronquée solutions of the Painlevé II equation q”(s) = 2q(s)^3 + sq(s) - (2? + 1/2), ? > -1/2, which is characterized by the Stokes multipliers s_1 = -exp[-2??i], s_2 = ?, s_1 = -exp[2??i] with ? being a free parameter. These solutions include the well-known generalized Hastings-McLeod solution as a special case if ? = 0. We derive asymptotics of integrals of the tronquée solutions and the associated Hamiltonians over the real axis for ? > -1/2 and ? ? 0, with the constant terms evaluated explicitly. Our results agree with those already known in the literature if the parameters ? and ? are chosen to be special values. Some applications of our results in random matrix theory are also discussed. Joint work with Dan Dai and Shuai-Xia Xu. |
