Chiral phase transition and spin alignment of vector meson in the Polarized-Polyakov-loop Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model under rotation

Abstract

By using the extrapolation method, a polarized Polykov-loop potential at finite real angular velocity is constructed from the lattice results at finite imaginary angular velocity. The chiral and deconfinement phase transitions under rotation have been simultaneously investigated in the Polarized-Polyakov-loop Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PPNJL) model. It is observed that both critical temperatures of deconfinement and chiral phase transition increase with the angular velocity, which is in consistent with lattice results. The spin alignment of vector meson has the negative deviation of $\ddot{I}{}_{00}-1/3$ under rotation, and the deviation in the PPNJL model is much more significant than that in the NJL model and the quark coalescence model, which revealing the important role of rotating gluons on the quark polarization.
