Thermodynamics of QCD at vanishing density
Tina Katharina Herbst, Mario Mitter, Jan M. Pawlowski +2
We study the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature within a Polyakov-loop enhanced quark-meson model. Such a model describes the chiral as well as the confinement-deconfinem…
Thermodynamics of (2+1)-flavor strongly interacting matter at nonzero isospin
Rainer Stiele, Eduardo S. Fraga, Juergen Schaffner-Bielich
We investigate the phase structure of strongly interacting matter at non-vanishing isospin before the onset of pion condensation in the framework of the unquenched Polyakov-Quark-M…
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…
