Quarkyonic Chiral Spirals
Toru Kojo, Yoshimasa Hidaka, Larry McLerran +1
We consider the formation of chiral density waves in Quarkyonic matter, which is a phase where cold, dense quarks experience confining forces. We model confinement following Gribov…
Small shear viscosity in the semi quark gluon plasma
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski
At nonzero temperature in QCD, about the deconfining phase transition there is a "semi" quark gluon plasma (semi-QGP), where the expectation value of the (renormalized) Polyakov lo…
Two-color quark matter: U(1)_A restoration, superfluidity, and quarkyonic phase
Tomas Brauner, Kenji Fukushima, Yoshimasa Hidaka
We discuss the phase structure of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with two colors and two flavors of light quarks. This is motivated by the increasing interest in the QCD phase diagra…
Zero Point Energy of Renormalized Wilson Loops
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski
The quark antiquark potential, and its associated zero point energy, can be extracted from lattice measurements of the Wilson loop. We discuss a unique prescription to renormalize…
Hard thermal loops, to quadratic order, in the background of a spatial 't Hooft loop
Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski
We compute the simplest hard thermal loops for a spatial 't Hooft loop in the deconfined phase of a SU(N) gauge theory. We expand to quadratic order about a constant background fie…
