Deconfinement, Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Chiral Polarization

Abstract

We examine the feasibility of the proposition that there is a temperature range T${}_c$ < T < T${}_{ch}$ in N${}_f$=0 QCD, where real Polyakov line (deconfined) vacuum exhibits valence spontaneous chiral symetry breaking and dynamical chiral polarization of Dirac eigenmodes. Detailed finite-volume analysis convincingly demonstrates the existence of such phase at fixed cutoff (a=0.085 fm). Moreover, it is found that this behavior also takes place closer to the continuum limit (a=0.060 fm) without qualitative change in its properties.
