Effective Field Theory Approach to Phase Transitions
In this paper I discuss the effective field theory approach, recently developed by Braaten and Nieto in the investigation of quantum field theories at high temperature. I demonstrate that this method can be easily extended to the study of phase transitions in theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. The first step consists of the construction of a sequence of two effective three-dimensional...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in QCD
At high temperatures or densities, hadronic matter shows different forms of critical behaviour: colour deconfinement, chiral symmetry restoration, and diquark condensation. I first discuss the conceptual basis of these phenomena and then consider the description of colour deconfinement in terms of symmetry breaking, through colour screening and as percolation transition.
متن کاملSpacetime Approach to Phase Transitions
In these notes, the application of Feynman’s sum-over-paths approach to thermal phase transitions is discussed. The paradigm of such a spacetime approach to critical phenomena is provided by the high-temperature expansion of spin models. This expansion, known as the hopping expansion in the context of lattice field theory, yields a geometric description of the phase transition in these models, ...
متن کاملQcd-bag Mass Spectrum and Phase Transitions
We obtain the hadronic mass spectrum in the ‘bag of bags’ statistical bootstrap model (BBSBM), implementing the colorless state condition, aside of baryon and strangeness conservation, using group projection method. We study the partition function, investigate the properties of dense hadronic matter, and determine the conditions under which the system undergoes a phase transition to a deconfine...
متن کاملQCD Phenomenology based on a Chiral Effective Lagrangian
We review the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) approach to the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). After a general overview of the non-perturbative aspects of QCD, we introduce the NJL model as a low-energy effective theory of QCD. The collective nature of hadrons and the constituent quark model are treated in a unified way. Various aspects of QCD related to the dynam...
