Effects of the restoration of UA(1) symmetry on pseudoscalar meson observables

چکیده
We investigate the restoration of chiral SU(3)⊗SU(3) and axial UA(1) symmetries, at finite temperature and density, in the framework of the three flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with anomaly. We implement a temperature (density) dependence of the anomaly coefficient motivated by lattice results for the topological susceptibility and we discuss the restoration of symmetries by analyzing the behavior of the mesonic chiral partners and of the mixing angles. The results indicate that the axial part of the symmetry is restored before the possible restoration of the full U(3)⊗U(3) chiral symmetry can occur.

Restoration of UA(1) symmetry and meson spectrum in hot or dense matter
We explore the effects of breaking and restoration of chiral and axial symmetries using an extended three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that incorporates explicitly the axial anomaly through the ’t Hooft interaction. We implement a temperature (density) dependence of the anomaly coefficient motivated by lattice results for the topological susceptibility. The spectrum of scalar and pseudoscala...
متن کاملBehavior of the topological susceptibility at finite T and μ and signs of restoration of chiral symmetries
We investigate the possible restoration of chiral and axial symmetries across the phase transition at finite temperature and chemical potential, by analyzing the behavior of several physics quantities, such as the quark condensates and the topological susceptibility, the respective derivatives in order to chemical potential, and the masses of meson chiral partners. We discuss whether only chira...
متن کاملPatterns and partners for chiral symmetry restoration
We present and analyze a new set of Ward Identities which shed light on the distinction between different patterns of chiral symmetry restoration in QCD, namely O(4) vs O(4) × U(1)A. The degeneracy of chiral partners for all scalar and pseudoscalar meson nonet members are studied through their corresponding correlators. In particular, we conclude that the anomalous U(1)A symmetry has to be full...
متن کاملRecent results on screening masses
Recent results for screening masses at high temperature are presented. The spatial correlation functions of operators with meson quantum numbers were obtained on quenched gauge configurations with non-perturbatively improved Wilson quarks as well as, in a different round of analysis, on the NF = 2+1 configurations generated in the course of RBC-Bielefeld’s analysis of the Equation of State. Whi...
متن کاملSe p 19 99 The Extended Chiral Quark Model confronts QCD
We discuss the truncation of low energy effective action of QCD below the chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) scale, including all operators of dimensionality less or equal to 6 which can be built with quark and chiral fields. We perform its bosonization in the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector channels in the large-N c and leading-log approximation. Constraints on the coefficients of th...
