Critical behaviors of the $O(4)$ and $Z(2)$ symmetries in the QCD phase diagram

Abstract

In this work we have studied the QCD phase structure and critical dynamics related to the 3-$d$ $O(4)$ and $Z(2)$ symmetry universality classes in the two-flavor quark-meson low energy effective theory within the functional renormalization group approach. We have employed the expansion of Chebyshev polynomials to solve the flow equation for the order-parameter potential. The chiral phase transition line of $O(4)$ symmetry in the chiral limit, and the $Z(2)$ line of critical end points related to the explicit chiral symmetry breaking are depicted in the phase diagram. Various critical exponents related to the order parameter, chiral susceptibilities and correlation lengths have been calculated for the 3-$d$ $O(4)$ and $Z(2)$ universality classes in the phase diagram, respectively. We find that the critical exponents obtained in the computation, where a field-dependent mesonic nontrivial dispersion relation is taken into account, are in quantitative agreement with results from other approaches, e.g., the conformal bootstrap, Monte Carlo simulations and $d=3$ perturbation expansion, etc. Moreover, the size of the critical regime in the QCD phase diagram is found to be very small.
