Finite density QCD with a canonical approach
Philippe de Forcrand, Slavo Kratochvila
We present a canonical method where the properties of QCD are directly obtained as a function of the baryon density rho, rather than the chemical potential mu. We apply this method…
QCD at Zero Baryon Density and the Polyakov Loop Paradox
S. Kratochvila, Ph. de Forcrand
We compare the grand canonical partition function at fixed chemical potential mu with the canonical partition function at fixed baryon number B, formally and by numerical simulatio…
The 3-state Potts model as a heavy quark finite density laboratory
Seyong Kim, Ph. de Forcrand, S. Kratochvila +1
The 3-D Z(3) Potts model is a model for finite temperature QCD with heavy quarks. The chemical potential in QCD becomes an external magnetic field in the Potts model. Following Alf…
The canonical approach to Finite Density QCD
Slavo Kratochvila, Philippe de Forcrand
We present a canonical approach to study properties of QCD at finite baryon density rho, and apply it to the determination of the phase diagram of four-flavour QCD. For a pion mass…
QCD at small baryon number
Slavo Kratochvila, Philippe de Forcrand
We consider the difficulties of finite density QCD from the canonical formalism. We present results for small baryon numbers, where the sign problem can be controlled, in particula…
QCD at zero baryon density
Slavo Kratochvila, Philippe de Forcrand
While the grand canonical partition function Z_{GC}(mu) with chemical potential mu explicitly breaks the Z_3 symmetry with the Dirac determinant, the canonical partition function a…
