Phase Transitions in QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Towards the chiral critical surface of QCD
The critical endpoint of the QCD phase diagram is usually expected to belong to the chiral critical surface, i.e. the surface of second order transitions bounding the region of first order chiral phase transitions for small quark masses in the {mu,d,ms, μ} parameter space. For μ = 0, QCD with physical quark masses is known to be an analytic crossover, requiring the region of chiral transitions ...
متن کاملInstanton Induced Large N Phase Transitions in Two and Four Dimensional QCD
The 1/N expansion of the weak coupling phase of two-dimensional QCD on a sphere is constructed. It is demonstrated that the phase transition from the weak to the strong coupling phase is induced by instantons. A double scaling limit of the theory at the point of the phase transition is constructed, the value of string susceptibility is determined to be γstr = −1. The possibility of instanton in...
متن کاملRelation between the Chiral and Deconfinement Phase Transitions
Lattice QCD simulations at finite temperature have shown that the chiral phase transition in the chiral limit and the deconfinement phase transition in the quenched limit are continuously connected. I emphasize the nontriviality of this result and propose an unconventional scenario which naturally explains the existing lattice data. The continuity of the two phase transitions is a manifestation...
متن کاملTowards a determination of the chiral critical surface of QCD
The chiral critical surface is a surface of second order phase transitions bounding the region of first order chiral phase transitions for small quark masses in the {mu,d,ms,μ} parameter space. The potential critical endpoint of the QCD (T,μ)-phase diagram is widely expected to be part of this surface. Since for μ = 0 with physical quark masses QCD is known to exhibit an analytic crossover, thi...
متن کاملRelation between color-deconfinement and chiral restoration
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is believed to undergo phase transitions from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at high temperature. The QGP phase transitions can consist of two distinct transitions – the deconfinement transition and the chiral phase transition. Several theoretical studies [1] have clarified that confinement would be closely related to chiral dynamics and the confined ...
متن کاملTwo–dimensional lattice Gross–Neveu model with Wilson twisted mass fermions
We study the two-dimensional lattice Gross–Neveu model with Wilson twisted mass fermions in order to explore the phase structure in this setup. In particular, we investigate the behaviour of the phase transitions found earlier with standard Wilson fermions as a function of the twisted mass parameter μ. We find that qualitatively the dependence of the phase transitions on μ is very similar to th...
