Dual condensate and QCD phase transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dual condensate is a new QCD phase transition order parameter, which connnects confinement and chiral symmetry breaking as different mass limits. We discuss the relation between the fermion spectrum at general boundary conditions and the dual condensate and show numerical results for the latter from unquenched SU(3) lattice configurations.

Possible Pseudogap Phase in QCD
Thermal pion fluctuations, in principle, can completely disorder the phase of the quark condensate and thus restore chiral symmetry. If this happens before the quark condensate melts, strongly-interacting matter will be in the pseudogap state just above the chiral phase transition. The quark condensate does not vanish locally and quarks acquire constituent masses in the pseudogap phase, despite...
متن کاملQCD phase transition at finite temperature in the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory.
We study the pure-gauge QCD phase transition at finite temperatures in the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory, an effective theory of QCD based on the dual Higgs mechanism. We formulate the effective potential at various temperatures by introducing the quadratic source term, which is a new useful method to obtain the effective potential in the negative-curvature region. Thermal effects reduce the QCD-...
متن کاملDeconfinement and Hot Hadrons in Crays and Quadrics
The equation of state of pure QCD, obtained from lattice QCD, is discussed for temperatures ranging from 0.9Tc to 4Tc, as well as results on screening masses, the chiral condensate, and the pion decay constant close to the deconfinement phase transition in the confined phase of QCD. The equation of state differs significantly from that of a free gas. There is little evidence of a temperature de...
متن کاملGluon Condensate and Parton Propagation in a Quark-gluon Plasma
Finite temperature QCD can be used to describe properties of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) possibly created in the fireball of relativistic heavy ion collisions and in the early Universe. There are two different methods available, namely lattice QCD and perturbation theory. Lattice QCD is a non-perturbative method, which can be used at all temperatures above and below the phase transition. However...
متن کاملCoupling of pion condensate, chiral condensate and Polyakov loop in an extended NJL model
The Nambu Jona-Lasinio model with a Polyakov loop is extended to finite isospin chemical potential case, which is characterized by simultaneous coupling of pion condensate, chiral condensate and Polyakov loop. The pion condensate, chiral condensate and the Polyakov loop as functions of temperature and isospin chemical potential are investigated by minimizing the thermodynamic potential of the s...
