| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the high density gluonic matter produced after the collision evolves into a thermalized quark-gluon plasma. It has been suggested that, due to the high gluon occupancy in the initial state, a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of gluons may be formed at an intermediate stage of the nonequilibrium evolution. We study the possibility of the BEC formation based on the 2PI (two-particle irreducible) formalism. We find that, while the system approaches the threshold of BEC formation, it is eventually avoided due to the number-changing inelastic processes. This is in contrast to the finding of previous studies based on the Boltzmann equation where inelastic processes are neglected and a BEC is formed.
