Effective Lagrangians for QCD, Duality and Exact Results
Francesco Sannino
I briefly discuss effective Lagrangians for strong interactions while concentrating on two specific lagrangians for QCD at large matter density. I then introduce spectral duality i…
Confinement, Chiral Symmetry and Hadrons
Agnes Mocsy, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
The Polyakov loop is the appropriate deconfinement order parameter for Yang-Mills theories without quarks or with quarks in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. However i…
Confinement as Felt by Hadrons
Agnes Mocsy, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
The critical behavior of non-order parameter fields is discussed. We show that relevant features of the deconfining phase transition can be determined by monitoring universal prope…
Connecting Polyakov Loops to Hadrons
A. Mocsy, F. Sannino, K. Tuominen
The order parameter for the pure Yang-Mills phase transition is the Polyakov loop, which encodes the symmetries of the Z_N center of the SU(N) gauge group. The physical degrees of…
Effective Lagrangians for Orientifold Theories
F. Sannino, M. Shifman
We construct effective Lagrangians of the Veneziano-Yankielowicz (VY) type for two non-supersymmetric theories which are orientifold daughters of supersymmetric gluodynamics (conta…
Duality in the Color Flavor Locked Spectrum
A. D. Jackson, F. Sannino
We analyze the spectrum of the massive states for the color flavor locked phase (CFL) of QCD. We show that the vector mesons have a mass of the order of the color superconductive g…
Confinement versus Chiral Symmetry
Agnes Mocsy, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
We construct an effective Lagrangian which illustrates why color deconfines when chiral symmetry is restored in hot gauge theories with quarks in the fundamental representation. Fo…
Review of Vector Condensation at High Chemical Potential
Francesco Sannino
Here I review vectorial type condensation due to a non zero chemical potential associated to some of the global conserved charges of the theory. The phase structure is very rich si…
Higgs Mechanism via Bose Einstein Condensation
Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
Recently the Bose-Einstein phenomenon has been proposed as possible physical mechanism underlying the spontaneous symmetry breaking in cold gauge theories. The mechanism is natural…
Induced Universal Properties and Deconfinement
Agnes Mocsy, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
We propose a general strategy to determine universal properties induced by a nearby phase transition on a non-order parameter field. A general renormalizable Lagrangian is used, wh…
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking via Bose-Einstein Mechanism
Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
Recently the Bose-Einstein phenomenon has been proposed as possible physical mechanism underlying the spontaneous symmetry breaking in cold gauge theories. The mechanism is natural…
Locking Internal and Space-Symmetries: Relativistic Vector Condensation
Francesco Sannino
Internal and Lorentz symmetries are necessarily linked when considering non scalar condensates. Here I review vectorial type condensation due to a non zero chemical potential assoc…
Critical Behavior of Non Order-Parameter Fields
Agnes Mocsy, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
We show that all of the relevant features of a phase transition can be determined using a non order parameter field which is a physical state of the theory. This fact allows us to…
Anomaly Matching and Low Energy Theories at High Matter Density
Francesco Sannino
I provide new arguments supporting the validity of the t'Hooft anomaly conditions at non zero quark chemical potential. These constraints strengthen the quark-hadron continuity sce…
