Interplay between the chiral and deconfinement transitions from a Curci-Ferrari-based Polyakov loop potential

V. Tomas Mari Surkau, Urko Reinosa

We couple the two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model to a gluonic background corresponding to the gauge-field expectation value in the center-symmetric Landau gauge. Low-energy featu…

SU() confinement and color -ality

V. Tomas Mari Surkau, Urko Reinosa

In a recent work, we have argued that the net quark number gained by a bath of quarks and gluons upon bringing an external static quark probe, while being equal to in the high…

Using net quark number gain to probe the phases of QCD

V. Tomas Mari Surkau, Urko Reinosa

We discuss an observable that probes the content of a QCD medium at finite temperature and chemical potential, the net quark number gain. It is the response of the thermal bath to…

Center-symmetric Landau gauge, the deconfinement transition and the gluon propagator as seen in lattice QCD

Duifje Maria van Egmond, Orlando Oliveira, Urko Reinosa +3

We address the lattice computation of the gluon propagator in the center-symmetric Landau gauge. After discussing a proper lattice implementation of the center-symmetric Landau gau…

Mesons, baryons and the confinement/deconfinement transition

V. Tomas Mari Surkau, Urko Reinosa

We identify an observable that could operate as a probe of the quark versus hadron content of a bath of quarks and gluons at finite temperature and chemical potential. To this purp…

Heavy-quark corner of the Columbia plot from the center-symmetric Curci-Ferrari model

V. Tomas Mari Surkau, Urko Reinosa

We investigate the heavy-quark corner of the Columbia plot using the gluon potential derived from the Curci-Ferrari extension of the Faddeev-Popov gauge fixing in the center-symmet…
