Quark Mass and the QCD Transition
Agnes Mocsy
We discuss different aspects of the quark mass dependence of the chiral and deconfinement transitions. We make predictions for locating the deconfining critical point, by analyzing…
Confinement and Chiral Symmetry
A. Mocsy, F. Sannino, K. Tuominen
We illustrate why color deconfines when chiral symmetry is restored in gauge theories with quarks in the fundamental representation, and while these transitions do not need to coin…
Role of Fluctuations in the Linear Sigma Model with Quarks
A. Mocsy, I. N. Mishustin, P. J. Ellis
We study the thermodynamics of the linear sigma model with constituent quarks beyond the mean-field approximation. By integrating out the quark degrees of freedom we derive an effe…
Effective Lagrangians for QCD: Deconfinement and Chiral Symmetry Restoration
Agnes Mocsy, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
Effective Lagrangians for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) especially suited for understanding deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration at nonzero temperature and matter density a…
