Electroweak Instantons, Axions, and the Cosmological Constant
Larry McLerran, Robert D. Pisarski, Vladimir Skokov
If there is explicit violation of baryon plus lepton number at some energy scale, then the electroweak theory depends upon a θ-angle. Due to a singular integration over small scale…
Critical endpoint for deconfinement in matrix and other effective models
Kouji Kashiwa, Robert D. Pisarski, Vladimir V. Skokov
We consider the position of the deconfining critical endpoint, where the first order transition for deconfinement is washed out by the presence of massive, dynamical quarks. We use…
Effective matrix model for deconfinement in pure gauge theories
Adrian Dumitru, Yun Guo, Yoshimasa Hidaka +2
We construct matrix models for the deconfining phase transition in SU(N) gauge theories, without dynamical quarks, at a nonzero temperature T. We generalize models with zero and on…
