Polyakov-loop potential of accelerated gluonic matter and subtlety in thermodynamics
Hao-Lei Chen, Kenji Fukushima, Yu-Han Gao +3
We study the one-loop Polyakov-loop effective potential in pure gluonic matter under constant acceleration. We perform the computation in both the Euclidean Rindler spacetime and t…

Imaginary Rotating Gluonic Matter at Strong Coupling
Kenji Fukushima, Yusuke Shimada
We write down an effective theory of the Polyakov loop to investigate the deconfinement phase transition of imaginary-rotating gluonic matter using the strong-coupling expansion. W…

Inhomogeneous confinement and chiral symmetry breaking induced by imaginary angular velocity
Shi Chen, Kenji Fukushima, Yusuke Shimada
We investigate detailed properties of imaginary rotating matter with gluons and quarks at high temperature. Previously, we showed that imaginary rotation induces perturbative confi…
