Thermal and thermoelectric responses of hot QCD medium in time-varying magnetic fields

The thermal response of the hot QCD matter has been studied in the presence of a time-varying magnetic field. The impact of magnetic field, its time dependence, and the collision aspects of the medium on thermal transport have been studied within the relativistic kinetic theory. The decay time of the magnetic field in the medium seems to have a strong dependence on thermal conductivity. The applicability of the Wiedemann-Franz law for the QCD medium has been investigated in the presence of time-varying external electromagnetic fields. The phenomenological significance of thermal transport in heavy-ion collision experiments has also been investigated by relating the thermal conductivity to the elliptic flow through the Knudsen number. The investigations are extended to study the thermoelectric behavior of hot QCD medium and its dependence on the magnetic field. The time dependent magnetic field is observed to significantly influence the thermoelectric behavior of the medium.
