چکیده
We discuss the analytic continuation beyond μ/T ≃ 1 in QCD at nonzero T and μ by use of the Pade’ approximants. The slope of the critical line obtained in this way increases at large μ with respect to the second order Taylor result.In the hot phase Pade’ and Taylor approximants coincide, suggesting a very large, and possibly infinite, radius of convergence of the Taylor series in this thermodynamic region.

متن کاملLattice QCD at finite density: imaginary chemical potential
I describe the results for the critical line and the thermodynamics of different phases of QCD which have been obtained by lattice simulations with an imaginary chemical potential. I review motivations and merits of the different strategies – Taylor expansion, Fourier analysis and Pade’ approximants – for analytic continuation from imaginary to real chemical potential. I consider phenomenologic...
متن کاملConvergence of Linear and Nonlinear Pade Approximants from Series of Orthogonal Polynomials
Analogues of the Nuttall-Pommerenke theorem and Wallin-type theorems for classical Pade approximants, are proved for linear and nonlinear Pade approximants formed from series of orthogonal polynomials, corresponding to a distribution da(x) with at most finitely many sign changes.
متن کاملPade Approximants and Borel Summation for QCD Perturbation Expansions
We study the applicability of Pade Approximants (PA) to estimate a ”sum” of asymptotic series of the type appearing in QCD. We indicate that one should not expect PA to converge for positive values of the coupling constant and propose to use PA for the Borel transform of the series. If the latter has poles on the positive semiaxis, the Borel integral does not exist, but we point out that the Ca...
متن کاملFunctional integrals for QCD at nonzero chemical potential and zero density.
In a Euclidean space functional integral treatment of the free energy of QCD, a chemical potential enters only through the functional determinant of the Dirac operator which for any flavor is /D+m-mu(f)gamma(0) (where mu(f) is the chemical potential for the given flavor). Any nonzero mu alters all of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator relative to the mu=0 value, leading to a naive expectatio...
