Three-flavor chiral phase transition and axial symmetry breaking with the functional renormalization group
Bernd-Jochen Schaefer, Mario Mitter
The interplay of mesonic fluctuations with an axial -symmetry breaking and resulting effects on the location of a possibly existing critical endpoint in the QCD phase diagr…
Thermodynamics of QCD at vanishing density
Tina Katharina Herbst, Mario Mitter, Jan M. Pawlowski +2
We study the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature within a Polyakov-loop enhanced quark-meson model. Such a model describes the chiral as well as the confinement-deconfinem…
Fluctuations and the axial anomaly with three quark flavors
Mario Mitter, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer
The role of the axial anomaly in the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and quark chemical potential is investigated within a non-perturbative functional renormalization…
The Effect of Fluctuations on the QCD Critical Point in a Finite Volume
Ralf-Arno Tripolt, Jens Braun, Bertram Klein +1
We investigate the effect of a finite volume on the critical behavior of the theory of the strong interaction (QCD) by means of a quark-meson model for two quark flavors. In partic…
On the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD
Tina K. Herbst, Jan M. Pawlowski, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer
We discuss the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD by means of dynamical chiral effective models. Quark and meson fluctuations are included via the functional renormalization…
Center Phase Transition from Fundamentally Charged Matter Propagators
Mario Mitter, Markus Hopfer, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer +1
The center phase transition at non-vanishing temperatures is investigated in Landau gauge Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and scalar QCD. For each theory novel order parameters for th…
