QCD thermodynamics of effective models with an improved Polyakov-loop potential
Rainer Stiele, Lisa M. Haas, Jens Braun +2
We analyse the role of the quark backreaction on the gauge-field dynamics and its impact on the Polyakov-loop potential. Based on our analysis we construct an improved Polyakov-loo…
Improved Polyakov-loop potential for effective models from functional calculations
Lisa M. Haas, Rainer Stiele, Jens Braun +2
We investigate the quark backreaction on the Polyakov loop and its impact on the thermodynamics of quantum chromodynamics. The dynamics of the gluons generating the Polyakov-loop p…
Curvature of the QCD phase transition line in a finite volume
Bertram Klein, Jens Braun, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer
The curvature which characterizes the QCD phase transition at finite temperature and small values of the chemical potential is accessible to lattice simulations. The results for th…
The QCD Phase Boundary from Quark-Gluon Dynamics
Jens Braun
We study one-flavor QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential using the functional renormalization group. We discuss the chiral phase transition in QCD and its order with it…
Chiral Phase Boundary of QCD from the Functional Renormalization Group
Jens Braun
We show how the functional renormalization group can be applied to a study of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. We discuss the running gauge coupling at finite temperature for QCD.…
RG flow of the Polyakov-loop potential: First status report
J. Braun, H. Gies, H. J. Pirner
We study SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature in the framework of the functional renormalization group. We concentrate on the effective potential for the Polyakov loop whi…
