Confinement order parameters and fluctuations

Tina K. Herbst, Jan Luecker, Jan M. Pawlowski

We study order parameters for the confinement-deconfinement phase transition related to the Polyakov-loop variable. The functional renormalisation group is used to compute these or…

Sarma phase in relativistic and non-relativistic systems

I. Boettcher, T. K. Herbst, J. M. Pawlowski +3

We investigate the stability of the Sarma phase in two-component fermion systems in three spatial dimensions. For this purpose we compare strongly-correlated systems with either re…

Phase structure of spin-imbalanced unitary Fermi gases

I. Boettcher, J. Braun, T. K. Herbst +3

We investigate the phase structure of spin-imbalanced unitary Fermi gases beyond mean-field theory by means of the Functional Renormalization Group. In this approach, quantum and t…

Exploring the Phase Structure and Thermodynamics of QCD

Tina K. Herbst, Mario Mitter, Jan M. Pawlowski +2

We put forward a Polyakov-loop extended quark meson model, where matter as well as glue fluctuations are taken into account, cf. [1]. The latter are included via a Polyakov-loop po…

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…

On the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD

Tina K. Herbst, Jan M. Pawlowski, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer

We discuss the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD by means of dynamical chiral effective models. Quark and meson fluctuations are included via the functional renormalization…
