Qcd Pressure and the Trace Anomaly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exact relations between the QCD thermal pressure and the trace anomaly are derived. These are used, first, to prove the equivalence of the thermodynamic and the hydrodynamic pressure in equilibrium in the presence of the trace anomaly, closing a gap in previous arguments. Second, in the temporal axial gauge a formula is derived which expresses the thermal pressure in terms of a Dyson-resummed twopoint function. This overcomes the infrared problems encountered in the conventional perturbationtheory approach.

Anomaly matching for the QCD string.
A criterion to be satisfied by a string theory of QCD is formulated in the ultraviolet regime. It arises from the trace anomaly of the QCD stress tensor computed using instantons. It is sensitive to asymptotic freedom. It appears to be related to the trace anomaly of the QCD string. Our current understanding of noncritical strings in physical dimensions is limited, but remarkably, a formal trea...
متن کاملThe QCD EoS from simulations on BlueGene L Supercomputers at LLNL and NYBlue
We present results for the QCD Equation of State (EoS) obtained using simulations of lattice QCD at zero chemical potential. Our high statistics results compare improved asqtad and p4fat3 staggered quarks on lattices with a temporal extent Nτ = 6 and 8 and light quark masses approximately one fifth and one tenth the strange quark mass. We find that the two actions give consistent results and es...
متن کاملThe Qcd Trace Anomaly as a Vacuum Effect
(The vacuum is a medium is the message!) We use arguments taken from the electrodynamics of media to deduce the QCD trace anomaly from the expression for the vacuum energy in the presence of an external color magnetic field. Intuitive discussions of phenomena in quantum field theory frequently take the form of describing them as properties of the vacuum. The vacuum, it is then argued, is just l...
متن کاملBreakup of Hadron Masses and Energy-momentum Tensor of Qcd
Hadron masses are shown to be separable in QCD into contributions of quark and gluon kinetic and potential energies, quark masses, and the trace anomaly. The separation is based on a study of the structure of the QCD energy-momentum tensor and its matrix elements in hadron states. The paper contains two parts. In the first part, a detailed discussion of the renormalization properties of the ene...
متن کاملخاستگاه و شکل گیری آتشفشانی فلسیک ائوسن و آداکیتی نئوژن کجان (غرب نایین)
Felsic volcanic rocks embrace a portion of the volcanic succession in Kajan area of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic assemblage. Based on trace elemental abundances and patterns, the felsic rocks might be attributed to two distinct series. In one series, normalized trace and REE patterns are rather flat (La/Yb<17) but display negative Ti, P, Sr and Eu anomalies. This series, which is called normal calc...
