The magnetic susceptibility in QCD
Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia, Marco Mariti +2
Recently much work has been devoted to the study of QCD coupled to a background magnetic field. Strongly interacting matter acts as a magnetic medium and it is natural to study the…
Effective term by CP-odd electromagnetic background fields
Claudio Bonati, Guido Cossu, Massimo D'Elia +2
We discuss our study of QCD in the presence of CP-odd electromagnetic (e.m.) background fields. We investigate the propagation of the CP-odd term from the e.m. sector to the strong…
The chiral phase transition for two-flavour QCD at imaginary and zero chemical potential
Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia, Philippe de Forcrand +2
The chiral symmetry of QCD with two massless quark flavours gets restored in a non-analytic chiral phase transition at finite temperature and zero density. Whether this is a first-…
Magnetic susceptibility and equation of state of N_f = 2+1 QCD with physical quark masses
Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia, Marco Mariti +2
We determine the free energy of strongly interacting matter as a function of an applied constant and uniform magnetic field. We consider N_f = 2+1 QCD with physical quark masses, d…
Theta dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories at finite temperature
Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia, Haralambos Panagopoulos +1
We report a study of the dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories on the topological theta term at finite temperature, and in particular in the large-N limit. We show that the theta d…
The Maximal Abelian Gauge in SU(N) Gauge Theories and Thermal Monopoles for N = 3
Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia
We discuss and propose a proper extension of the Abelian projection based on the Maximal Abelian Gauge to SU(N) gauge theories. Based, on that, we investigate the properties of the…
