Static linear response of hot and dense QCD matter to electromagnetic fields: Leading hard and soft QCD corrections

Osvaldo Ferreira, Eduardo S. Fraga, Tyler Gorda +3

We compute the static electromagnetic susceptibilities of a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma using perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Our evaluation includes the leading $\…

Semi-analytic bounds on axion-like-particle supernovae emission

Ana Luisa Foguel, Eduardo S. Fraga

Core-collapse supernovae provide natural laboratories for the production of new light particles. In particular, axion-like particles (ALPs) can be constrained via SN1987A cooling a…

Signatures from pion condensation and lepton flavor asymmetries in the cosmological gravitational wave background

Osvaldo Ferreira, Eduardo S. Fraga, Jürgen Schaffner-Bielich

Large lepton flavor asymmetries at the QCD epoch could generate a pion condensation phase in the early Universe. For large enough tau lepton flavor asymmetries, the speed of sound…

Hot and dense pQCD in a very strong magnetic background

Eduardo S. Fraga, Letícia F. Palhares, Tulio E. Restrepo

We compute the pressure, chiral condensate and strange quark number susceptibility from perturbative QCD up to two-loop order at finite temperature and very high magnetic fields wi…

Cooling of quark stars from perturbative QCD

Úrsula Fonseca, Eduardo S. Fraga

We investigate the thermal evolution of quark stars with and without a hadronic crust using an equation of state derived from perturbative QCD that incorporates the running of the…

Susceptibilities and Taylor coefficients of magnetic QCD from perturbation theory

Eduardo S. Fraga, Letícia F. Palhares, Tulio E. Restrepo

We compute the coefficients and of the Taylor expansion for the pressure in powers of in the presence of a large magnetic field within perturbative QC…

Chiral symmetry breaking and pion condensation in the early universe

Osvaldo Ferreira, Eduardo S. Fraga, Maurício Hippert +1

We determine the possible trajectories the universe may have followed in the QCD phase diagram during the QCD epoch. We focus on the roles of chiral symmetry breaking and pion cond…

Strongly interacting matter in extreme magnetic fields

Prabal Adhikari, Martin Ammon, Sidney S. Avancini +58

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous across different physical systems of current interest; from the early Universe, compact astrophysical objects and heavy-ion collisions to condensed m…

Quark anomalous magnetic moment in an extreme magnetic background from perturbative QCD

Eduardo S. Fraga, Leticia F. Palhares, Cristian Villavicencio

We compute the one-loop QCD correction to the photon-quark-antiquark vertex in an extremely strong magnetic background, i.e., one in which is much larger than all other…

Cold and dense perturbative QCD in a very strong magnetic background

Eduardo S. Fraga, Letícia F. Palhares, Tulio E. Restrepo

We compute the pressure from first principles within perturbative QCD at finite baryon density and very high magnetic fields up to two-loops and with physical quark masses. The reg…

Power corrections to the photon polarization tensor in a hot and dense medium of massive fermions

Osvaldo Ferreira, Eduardo S. Fraga

We compute the terms (power corrections) of the photon polarization tensor in a hot and dense medium of particles with a small but finite mass, i.e., $0< m\ll T,…

Neutron star structure from QCD

Eduardo S. Fraga, Aleksi Kurkela, Aleksi Vuorinen

In this review article, we argue that our current understanding of the thermodynamic properties of cold QCD matter, originating from first principles calculations at high and low d…

The impact of quark masses on pQCD thermodynamics

Thorben Graf, Juergen Schaffner-Bielich, Eduardo S. Fraga

We present results for several thermodynamic quantities within the next-to-leading order calculation of the thermodynamic potential in perturbative QCD at finite temperature and ch…

Quark mass and isospin dependence of the deconfining critical temperature

E. S. Fraga, L. F. Palhares, C. Villavicencio

We describe the deconfining critical temperature dependence on the pion mass and on the isospin chemical potential in remarkably good agreement with lattice data. Our framework inc…

Weinberg power counting and the quark determinant at small chemical potential

E. S. Fraga, C. Villavicencio

We construct an effective action for QCD by expanding the quark determinant in powers of the chemical potential at finite temperature in the case of massless quarks. To cut the inf…
