Possible splitting of deconfinement and chiral transitions in strong magnetic fields in QCD
Eduardo S. Fraga, Ana Julia Mizher, M. N. Chernodub
We show that finite-temperature deconfinement and chiral transitions can split in a strong enough magnetic field. The splitting in critical temperatures of these transitions in a c…
Pressure of massless hot scalar theory in the boundary effective theory framework
A. Bessa, F. T. Brandt, C. A. A. de Carvalho +1
We use the boundary effective theory (BET) approach to thermal field theory in order to calculate the pressure of a system of massless scalar fields with quartic interaction. The m…
Droplets in the cold and dense linear sigma model with quarks
Leticia F. Palhares, Eduardo S. Fraga
The linear sigma model with quarks at very low temperatures provides an effective description for the thermodynamics of the strong interaction in cold and dense matter, being espec…
Quantum statistical correlations in thermal field theories: boundary effective theory
A. Bessa, F. T. Brandt, C. A. A. de Carvalho +1
We show that the one-loop effective action at finite temperature for a scalar field with quartic interaction has the same renormalized expression as at zero temperature if written…
Search for fingerprints of disoriented chiral condensates in cosmic ray showers
R. M. de Almeida, J. R. T. de Mello Neto, E. S. Fraga +1
Although the generation of disoriented chiral condensates (DCCs), where the order parameter for chiral symmetry breaking is misaligned with respect to the vacuum direction in isosp…
Phase diagram of hot QCD in an external magnetic field: possible splitting of deconfinement and chiral transitions
A. J. Mizher, M. N. Chernodub, E. S. Fraga
The structure of the phase diagram for strong interactions becomes richer in the presence of a magnetic background, which enters as a new control parameter for the thermodynamics.…
On thermal nucleation of quark matter in compact stars
B. W. Mintz, E. S. Fraga, J. Schaffner-Bielich +1
The possibility of a hadron-quark phase transition in extreme astrophysical phenomena such as the collapse of a supernova is not discarded by the modern knowledge of the high-energ…
