From Magnetic to Inverse Magnetic Catalysis: The Interplay of Quark and Gluon Mass Generation in Magnetic Fields
Fei Gao, Kairen Huang, Yi Lu +1
We analyze the effects of the magnetic field on the quark and gluon propagators within the functional QCD framework. By solving the coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations for the quark…
Chiral Magnetic effect as the anomaly in the transverse axial vector Ward Identity
Fei Gao, Yi Lu, Minghui Ding +2
Through analyzing the quark propagator under the magnetic field, we establish that the axial anomaly originates from an additional Dirac structure in quark propagator induced by th…
Flavor dependence of chiral symmetry breaking and the conformal window
Yi-huai Chen, Yi Lu, Zhi-wei Wang +2
We investigate the phase structure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in the vacuum as a function of quark flavor number within the chiral limit. By self-consistently solving th…
Revisiting the first-order QCD phase transition in dense strong interaction matter
Yi Lu, Fei Gao, Yu-xin Liu
We revisit the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD in the low temperature and high density region, where a strong, first-order phase transition is expected beyond the critica…
Lee--Yang edge singularities in Nonlocal Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model
Zong-shuai Zhang, Yi Lu, Yu-xin Liu
We investigate the QCD phase diagram and the associated Lee--Yang edge singularities using the two-flavor nonlocal Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model extended to complex chemical potential.…
Baryogenesis and first-order QCD transition with gravitational waves from a large lepton asymmetry
Fei Gao, Julia Harz, Chandan Hati +3
A large primordial lepton asymmetry can lead to successful baryogenesis by preventing the restoration of electroweak symmetry at high temperatures, thereby suppressing the sphalero…
