Chiral thermodynamics of dense hadronic matter

Abstract

We discuss phases of hot and dense hadronic matter using chiral Lagrangians. A two-flavored parity doublet model constrained by the nuclear matter ground state predicts chiral symmetry restoration. The model thermodynamics is shown within the mean field approximation. A field-theoretical constraint on possible phases from the anomaly matching is also discussed.
