PT Symmetry and QCD: Finite Temperature and Density
The relevance of PT symmetry to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the gauge theory of the strong interactions, is explored in the context of finite temperature and density. Two significant problems in QCD are studied: the sign problem of finite-density QCD, and the problem of confinement. It is proven that the effective action for heavy quarks at finite density is PT -symmetric. For the case of 1+1...
متن کاملLattice QCD at Finite Temperature and Density
A general introduction into the subject aimed at a general theoretical physics audience. We introduce the sign problem posed by finite density lattice QCD, and we discuss the main methods proposed to circumvent it, with emphasis on the imaginary chemical potential approach. The interrelation between Taylor expansion and analytic continuation from imaginary chemical potential is discussed in det...
متن کاملLattice QCD at Finite Temperature and Density
1.1. Preface There are many reasons to study a complicated interacting field theory like QCD under extreme conditions, eg. at finite temperature and/or nonvanishing baryon number density. Of course, first of all we learn about the collective behaviour of strongly interacting matter, its critical behaviour, equation of state and thermal properties of hadrons as well as their fate at high tempera...
متن کاملLattice QCD at finite temperature and density
QCD at finite temperature and density is becoming increasingly important for various experimental programmes, ranging from heavy ion physics to astro-particle physics. The non-perturbative nature of non-abelian quantum field theories at finite temperature leaves lattice QCD as the only tool by which we may hope to come to reliable predictions from first principles. This requires careful extrapo...
متن کاملDeconfinement and chiral-symmetry restoration in finite temperature QCD
QCD sum rules are based on the Operator Product Expansion of current correlators, and on QCD-hadron duality. An extension of this program to finite temperature is discussed. This allows for a study of deconfinement and chiral-symmetry restoration. In addition, it is possible to relate certain hadronic matrix elements to expectation values of quark and gluon field operators by using thermal Fini...
