Deconfinement and chiral-symmetry restoration in finite temperature QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
QCD sum rules are based on the Operator Product Expansion of current correlators, and on QCD-hadron duality. An extension of this program to finite temperature is discussed. This allows for a study of deconfinement and chiral-symmetry restoration. In addition, it is possible to relate certain hadronic matrix elements to expectation values of quark and gluon field operators by using thermal Finite Energy Sum Rules. In this way one can determine the temperature behaviour of hadron masses and couplings, as well as form factors. An attempt is made to clarify some misconceptions in the existing literature on QCD sum rules at finite temperature. Expanded version of an invited talk at CAM-94, Cancun, Mexico, September 1994.

We propose that in QCD with dynamical quarks, colour deconfinement occurs when an external field induced by the chiral condensate strongly aligns the Polyakov loop. This effect sets in at the chiral symmetry restoration temperature Tχ and thus makes deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration coincide. The predicted singular behavior of Polyakov loop susceptibilities at Tχ is shown to be supp...

متن کاملChiral Symmetry Restoration and Deconfinement of Light Mesons at Finite Temperature
Abstract There has been a great deal of interest in understanding the properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) for a finite value of the chemical potential and for finite temperature. Studies have been made of the restoration of chiral symmetry in matter and at finite temperature. The phenomenon of deconfinement is also of great interest, with studies of the temperature dependence of the conf...
متن کاملContinuum Study of Deconfinement at Finite Temperature.
Deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration are explored in a confining, renormalisable, Dyson-Schwinger equation model of two-flavour QCD. An order parameter for deconfinement is introduced and used to establish that, in the chiral limit, deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration are coincident at Tc ≈ 150MeV. The transitions are second order and each has the same critical exponent: β ≈ ...

We demonstrate that chiral symmetry restoration in quenched finite temperature QCD depends crucially on the Z3 phase of the Polyakov loop P. This dependence is a general consequence of the coupling of the chiral order parameter to the Polyakov loop. We construct a model for chiral symmetry breaking and restoration which includes the effect of a nontrivial Polyakov loop by calculating the effect...
