We study the thermalization of gluons far from thermal equilibrium in relativistic kinetic theory. The initial distribution of gluons is assumed to resemble that in the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Only elastic scatterings in static, nonexpanding gluonic matter are considered. At first we show that the occurrence of condensation in the limit of vanishing particle mass requires a general constraint for the scattering matrix element. Then the thermalization of gluons with Bose-Einstein condensation is demonstrated in a transport calculation. We see a continuously increasing overpopulation of low energy gluons, followed by a decrease to the equilibrium distribution, when the condensation occurs. The times of the completion of the gluon condensation and of the entropy production are calculated. These times scale inversely with the energy density.

Onset of Bjorken Flow in Quantum Evolution of the Massive Schwinger Model
In the 1+1D massive Schwinger model, tensor network simulation of a localized excitation reveals Bjorken-like hydrodynamic flow for small fermion mass, but not for large mass.

Quantum thermalization of Quark-Gluon Plasma
In a 1+1D Schwinger model, strong-coupling quark Wigner functions thermalize to quantum statistical averages, while weak-coupling scalar and axial components do not because of many-body scars, and the θ-vacuum angle c...
