Towards finite density QCD with Taylor expansions
Frithjof Karsch, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer, Mathias Wagner +1
Convergence properties of Taylor expansions of observables, which are also used in lattice QCD calculations at non-zero chemical potential, are analyzed in an effective N_f = 2+1 f…

The phase structure of the Polyakov--quark-meson model beyond mean field
Tina Katharina Herbst, Jan M. Pawlowski, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer
The Polyakov-extended quark-meson model (PQM) is investigated beyond mean-field. This represents an important step towards a fully dynamical QCD computation. Both the quantum fluct…
