Chiral Symmetry Restoration and Quark Deconfinement beyond Mean Field in a Magnetized PNJL Model

arXiv:1712.06062 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.97.011501

Abstract

We study chiral symmetry restoration and quark deconfinement beyond mean field approximation in a magnetized PNJL model. The feedback from mesons to quarks modifies the quark coupling constant and Polyakov potential. As a result, the separate critical temperatures for the two phase transitions at mean field level coincide and the magnetic catalysis becomes inverse magnetic catalysis, when the meson contribution is included.
