The U(1) Axial Symmetry and the Chiral Transition in Qcd
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature. We expect that, above a certain critical temperature, also the U(1) axial symmetry will be restored. We will try to see if this transition has (or has not) anything to do with the usual chiral transition: various possible scenarios are discussed. In particular, we analyse a scenario in which the U(1) axial symmetry is still broken above the chiral transitions. We will show that this scenario can be consistently reproduced using an effective Lagrangian model. A new order parameter is introduced for the U(1) axial symmetry.

متن کاملRemarks on the U ( 1 ) axial symmetry in QCD at zero and non – zero temperature
This paper is organized in two parts. The first part (Sections 2–5) is dedicated to the theory at T = 0 and contains a pedagogical review of some fundamental aspects related with the chiral symmetries of QCD, the U(1) problem and its solution proposed by ’tHooft, Witten and Veneziano. In the second part (Sections 6–14) we discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the phase structure of QC...
متن کاملDynamical lattice QCD thermodynamics and the U(1)A symmetry with domain wall fermions
Results from numerical simulations of full, two avor QCD thermodynamics at Nt = 4 with domain wall fermions are presented. For the rst time a numerical simulation of the full QCD phase transition displays a low temperature phase with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking but intact avor symmetry and a high temperature phase with the full SU(2) SU(2) chiral avor symmetry. It is found that close t...
متن کاملThe problem of the U(1) axial symmetry and the chiral transition in QCD
We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature. In particular, supported by recent lattice results, we analyse a scenario in which a U(1)–breaking condensate survives across the chiral transition. This scenario can be consistently reproduced using an effective Lagrangian model. The effects of the U(1) chiral condensate on the slope of the top...
متن کاملAxial U(1) symmetry in the chiral symmetric phase of 2-flavor QCD at finite temperature
We discuss the fate of the axial U(1) symmetry in 2-flavor QCD at finite temperature, where the non-singlet chiral symmetry is restored. We first summarize the previous theoretical investigation on the relation between the eigenvalue density of the Dirac operator and the axial U(1) symmetry. We show that the eigenvalue density near the origin behaves as λ γ with γ > 2 in the chirally symmetric ...
