abstract
Using event-by-event hydrodynamic calculations, we find that the fluctuations of the elliptic flow ($v_2$) in the reaction plane have a negative skew. We compare the skewness of $v_2$ fluctuations to that of initial eccentricity fluctuations. We show that skewness is the main effect lifting the degeneracy between higher-order cumulants, with negative skew corresponding to the hierarchy $v_2\{4\}>v_2\{6\}$ observed in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. We describe how the skewness can be measured experimentally and show that hydrodynamics naturally reproduces its magnitude and centrality dependence.

Collective dynamics in heavy and light-ion collisions -- II) Determining the origin of collective behavior in high-energy collisions
A new observable, W, built from ratios of flow cumulants and transverse energies in same-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC, is proposed and validated as a measure of how close a collision system is to hydrodynamic behavior.

Explaining higher-order correlations between elliptic and triangular flow
Mixed harmonic cumulants of elliptic and triangular flow obey simple ratios set by reaction-plane elliptic flow, yielding new predictions for 10-particle cumulants.

Collective dynamics in heavy and light-ion collisions -- I) Kinetic Theory vs. Hydrodynamics
Event-by-event simulations show elliptic flow in heavy and light ion collisions follows a universal opacity-dependent response curve; hydrodynamics is accurate only above opacity around 3, and oxygen collisions expose...
