Complex Probability Distributions: A Solution for the Long-Standing Problem of QCD at Finite Density
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how the prescription of taking the absolute value of the fermion determinant in the integration measure of QCD at finite density, forgetting its phase, reproduces the correct thermodynamical limit. This prescription, which applies also to other gauge theories with non-positive-definite integration measure, also has the advantage of killing finite size effects due to extremely small mean values of the cosine of the phase of the fermion determinant. We also give an explanation for the pathological behaviour of quenched QCD at finite density. CERN-TH/96-194 July 1996

The unquenched spectral density of the Dirac operator at µ = 0 is complex and has oscillations with a period inversely proportional to the volume and an amplitude that grows exponentially with the volume. Here we show how the oscillations lead to the discontinuity of the chiral condensate. 1 Lessgo ! The sign problem in QCD at non-zero baryon chemical potential, µ, has been an obstacle for more...
متن کاملRandom matrix model of QCD at finite density and the nature of the quenched limit.
We use a random matrix model to study chiral symmetry breaking in QCD at finite chemical potential μ. We solve the model and compute the eigenvalue density of the Dirac matrix on a complex plane. A naive “replica trick” fails for μ 6= 0: we find that quenched QCD is not a simple n → 0 limit of QCD with n quarks. It is the limit of a theory with 2n quarks: n quarks with original action and n qua...
متن کاملEffects of Probability Function on the Performance of Stochastic Programming
Stochastic programming is a valuable optimization tool where used when some or all of the design parameters of an optimization problem are defined by stochastic variables rather than by deterministic quantities. Depending on the nature of equations involved in the problem, a stochastic optimization problem is called a stochastic linear or nonlinear programming problem. In this paper,a stochasti...
متن کاملSolution of Wave Equations Near Seawalls by Finite Element Method
A 2D finite element model for the solution of wave equations is developed. The fluid is considered as incompressible and irrotational. This is a difficult mathematical problem to solve numerically as well as analytically because the condition of the dynamic boundary (Bernoulli’s equation) on the free surface is not fixed and varies with time. The finite element technique is applied to solve non...
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
