Yang-Mills Effective Action from QCD at Finite Chemical Potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a construction of an effective Yang-Mills action for QCD, from the expansion of the fermionic determinant in terms of powers of the chemical potential at high temperature for the case of massless quarks. We analyze this expansion in the perturbative region and find that it gives extra spurious information. We propose for the non-perturbative sector a simplified effective action which, in principle, contains only the relevant information.

Numerical corrections to the strong coupling effective Polyakov-line action for finite T Yang-Mills theory
We consider a three-dimensional effective theory of Polyakov lines derived previously from lattice Yang-Mills theory and QCD by means of a resummed strong coupling expansion. The effective theory is useful for investigations of the phase structure, with a sign problem mild enough to allow simulations also at finite density. In this work we present a numerical method to determine improved values...
متن کاملA New Phase at Finite Quark Density from AdS/CFT
We explore phases of an N = 2 super Yang-Mills theory at finite quark density by introducing quark chemical potential in a D3-D7 setup. We formulate the thermodynamics of brane embeddings and we find that the density versus chemical potential equation of state has rich structure. This yields two distinct first order phase transitions in a small window of quark density. In order words, there is ...

We are simulating SU (2) Yang-Mills theory with four flavours of dynamical quarks in the fundamental representation of SU (2) 'colour' at finite chemical potential, µ for quark number, as a model for QCD at finite baryon number density. In particular we observe that for µ large enough this theory undergoes a phase transition to a state with a diquark condensate which breaks quark-number symmetr...
متن کاملAsymptotic Freedom from Thermal and Vacuum Magnetization
We calculate the effective Lagrangian for a magnetic field in spinor, scalar and vector QED. Connections are then made to SU(NC) Yang–Mills theory and QCD. The magnetization and the corresponding effective charge are obtained from the effective Lagrangian. The renormalized vacuum magnetization will depend on the renormalization scale chosen. In the absence of any natural scale, it is thus of li...

Monte Carlo simulations of lattice QCD at non-zero baryon chemical potential µ suffer from the notorious complex action problem. We consider QCD with static quarks coupled to a large chemical potential. This leaves us with an SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with a complex action containing the Polyakov loop. Close to the deconfinement phase transition the qualitative features of this theory, in particu...
