Entropy production in classical Yang-Mills theory from Glasma initial conditions

Understand

We study the thermalization process in classical Yang-Mills (CYM) field theory starting from noisy glasma-like initial conditions by investigating the initial-value sensitivity of trajectories.

• Kunihiro et al.
• linked entropy generation to the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, which gives the entropy production rate in classical chaotic systems, calculated numerically for CYM fields starting from purely random initial field configurations.
• In contrast, we here study glasma-like initial conditions.
