In this study, we derive a coupled set of equations that describe the nonequilibrium evolution of cumulants of critical fluctuations for spacetime trajectories on the crossover side of the QCD phase diagram. In particular, novel expressions are obtained for the nonequilibrium evolution of non-Gaussian skewness and kurtosis cumulants. UBy utilizing a simple model of the spacetime evolution of a heavy-ion collision, we demonstrate that, depending on the relaxation rate of critical fluctuations…

A Wigner transform for multipoint correlators is introduced and a diagrammatic technique in which the leading order contributions are given by tree diagrams is developed, obtaining the evolution equations for non-Gaussian cumulants to the lead order of the systematic expansion in the magnitude of thermal fluctuations.
Hydrodynamics with parametric slowing down and fluctuations near the critical point

The search for the QCD critical point in heavy-ion collision experiments requires dynamical simulations of the bulk evolution of QCD matter as well as of fluctuations. We consider two essential
The kurtosis of the chiral order parameter and its relevance for heavy-ion collisions
We investigate higher cumulants of the sigma field as the chiral order parameter at the QCD phase transition. We derive a thermodynamic expression for the skewness and kurtosis from susceptibilities
QCD equation of state matched to lattice data and exhibiting a critical point singularity
We construct a family of equations of state for QCD in the temperature range 30MeV≤T≤800MeV and in the chemical potential range 0≤μB≤450MeV. These equations of state match available lattice QCD
