Chiral symmetry restoration in linear sigma models with different numbers of quark flavors

چکیده
The appearance of the QCD phase transition (QPT) atlow temperatures and high densities will change the prop-erties of neutron stars (NS). Whether this change will bevisible with telescopes and gravitational wave antennas de-pends strongly on the equation of state (eos) of hadronicand quark matter and on the construction of the phasetransition (PT).

Chiral and U(1) axial symmetry restoration in linear sigma models with two quark flavors
We study the restoration of chiral symmetry in linear sigma models with two quark flavors. The models taken into consideration have a U(2) × U(2) and an O(N) internal symmetry. The physical mesons of these models are σ, pion, η and a0 where the latter two are not present in the O(N) model. Including two-loop contributions through sunset graphs we calculate the temperature behavior of the order ...
متن کاملOn the QCD phase structure from effective models
Some recent theoretical developments of the QCD phase diagram are summarized. Chiral symmetry restoration and the confinement/deconfinement transition at nonzero temperature and quark densities are analyzed in the framework of an effective linear sigma model with three light quark flavors. The sensitivity of the chiral transition as well as the existence of a critical end point in the phase dia...
متن کاملChiral Lagrangians and quark condensate in nuclei
We study the evolution with density of the quark condensate in the nuclear medium with interacting nucleons and including the short range correlations. We work with two chiral models, the linear sigma model and the non-linear one. For the last one we use two versions, one which does not satisfy PCAC, and another one which does. We show that the quark condensate, as other observables, is indepen...
متن کاملCalculation of the nucleon sigma term and strange quark content with two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions
We present a calculation of the nucleon sigma term on two-flavor QCD configurations with dy-namical overlap fermions. We analyse the lattice data for the nucleon mass using the baryon chiral perturbation theory. Using partially quenched data sets, we extract the connected and disconnected contributions to the nucleon sigma term separately. Chiral symmetry on the lattice simplifies the determina...

We discuss the role of the axial U(1)A symmetry in the chiral phase transition using the U(Nf )R× U(Nf )L linear sigma model with two massless quark flavors. We expect that above a certain temperature the axial U(1)A symmetry will be effectively restored as well as SU(Nf )R×SU(Nf )L. Then we can construct a string-like static solution of the η string and a kink-like classical solution of the do...
