Phase structure, critical points and susceptibilities in Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type models

C. A de Sousa, Pedro Costa, M. C. Ruivo

We investigate the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and chemical potential within SU(2) and SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type models. The behavior of the baryon number sus…

The QCD critical end point in the PNJL model

Pedro Costa, C. A. de Sousa, M. C. Ruivo +1

We investigate the role played by the Polyakov loop in the dynamics of the chiral phase transition in the framework of the so-called PNJL model in the SU(2)sector. We present the p…

Behavior of the topological susceptibility at finite T and and signs of restoration of chiral symmetries

M. C. Ruivo, Pedro Costa, C. A. de Sousa

We investigate the possible restoration of chiral and axial symmetries across the phase transition at finite temperature and chemical potential, by analyzing the behavior of severa…
