Symmetry structure and phase transitions
We study chiral symmetry structure at finite density and temperature in the presence of external magnetic field and gravity, a situation relevant in the early Universe and in the core of compact stars. We then investigate the dynamical evolution of phase transition in the expanding early Universe and possible formation of quark nuggets and their survival.
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions and spontaneous symmetry-breaking in Dicke Model
A method to find the Excited-States Quantum Phase Transitions (ESQPT’s) from paritysymmetry in the Dicke model is studied and presented. This method allows us to stablish a critical energy where ESQPT’s take places, and divides the whole energy spectrum in two regions with different properties.
متن کاملContinuous Quantum Phase Transitions
A quantum system can undergo a continuous phase transition at the absolute zero of temperature as some parameter entering its Hamiltonian is varied. These transitions are particularly interesting for, in contrast to their classical finite temperature counterparts, their dynamic and static critical behaviors are intimately intertwined. We show that considerable insight is gained by considering t...

whereM is a real, symmetric, positive-definite matrix (i.e. all eigenvalues are positive). This identity can be easily established by changing variables of integration to a basis in which M is diagonal. We will use this identity to compute the free energy density F , defined by Z = exp(−V F ) where V is the volume of spacetime. In the paramagnetic phase, r > 0, the perturbative expansion for F ...

U nderstanding matter—a collection of many interacting constituents, such as atoms and electrons—is a major endeavor in physics. While most studies in this field have focused on matter that is in thermal equilibrium with its environment, many phenomena occurring in nature involve matter out of equilibrium. The reason for this disparity may lie in the often-repeated observation that, to paraphra...
