Rigorous arguments against current wisdoms in finite density QCD

چکیده
QCD at finite chemical potential is analytically investigated in the region of large bare fermion masses. We show that, contrary to the general wisdom, the phase of the fermion determinant is irrelevant at zero temperature. However if the system is put at finite temperature, the contribution of the phase is finite. We also discuss on the quenched approximation and suggest that the origin of the failure of this approximation in finite density QCD could relay on the fundamental role that Pauli exclusion principle plays in this case.

Positivity of High Density Effective Theory
We show that the effective field theory of low energy modes in dense QCD has positive Euclidean path integral measure. The complexity of the measure of QCD at finite chemical potential can be ascribed to modes which are irrelevant to the dynamics at sufficiently high density. Rigorous inequalities follow at asymptotic density. Lattice simulation of dense QCD should be possible using the quark d...
متن کاملLattice QCD at High Temperature and Density
After a brief introduction into basic aspects of the formulation of lattice regularized QCD at finite temperature and density we discuss our current understanding of the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature. We present results from lattice calculations that emphasize the deconfining as well as chiral symmetry restoring features of the QCD transition, and discuss the thermodynamics of the hig...
متن کاملRecent progress in lattice QCD at finite density
We review recent progress in lattice QCD at finite density. The phase diagram of QCD and the equation of state at finite temperature and density are discussed. In particular, we focus on the critical point terminating a first order phase transition line in the high density region. The critical point is one of the most interesting features that may be discovered in heavy-ion collision experiment...
متن کاملLattice QCD at finite temperature and density
QCD at finite temperature and density is becoming increasingly important for various experimental programmes, ranging from heavy ion physics to astro-particle physics. The non-perturbative nature of non-abelian quantum field theories at finite temperature leaves lattice QCD as the only tool by which we may hope to come to reliable predictions from first principles. This requires careful extrapo...
متن کاملLattice Qcd at Non-vanishing Density: Phase Diagram, Equation of State
QCD at finite T and/or μ is of fundamental importance, since it describes physics relevant in the early universe, in neutron stars and in heavy ion collisions. Extensive experimental work has been done with heavy ion collisions at CERN and Brookhaven to explore the μ-T phase boundary (cf. ). Note, that past, present and future heavy ion experiments with always higher and higher energies produce...
