Mixed-state quantum geometry of dense two-color QCD matter

Kouji Kashiwa, Riki Oshima, Hiroaki Kouno

We investigate an information-geometric approach to dense two-color QCD using thermal states defined as normalized Gibbs states in the two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at the m…

Path optimization method for the sign problem: Insights from random matrix models

Kouji Kashiwa, Yusuke Namekawa, Hayato Takase

The path optimization method is applied to the Stephanov model and the chiral random matrix model, both of which share several properties with QCD, to mitigate the sign problem cau…

The canonical approach at high temperature revisited

Kouji Kashiwa, Hiroaki Kouno

This paper discusses a paradox encountered when employing the canonical approach, particularly in the high-temperature region where the Roberge-Weiss transition exists at finite im…

Effective degrees of freedom, trace anomaly and c-theorem like condition in the hadron resonance gas model

Hiroaki Kouno, Riki Oshima, Kouji Kashiwa

The relation between the effective degrees of freedom (EDOF) and the trace anomaly is studied in the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model. If we regard the thermodynamical relation as…

Thermodynamic geometry in hadron resonance gas model at real and imaginary baryon chemical potential and a simple sufficient condition for quark deconfinement

Riki Oshima, Hiroaki Kouno, Motoi Tachibana +1

The thermodynamic geometry of the hadron resonance gas model with (without) excluded volume effects (EVE) of baryons is investigated. The case with imaginary mu, where mu is the ba…

Path optimization method for the sign problem caused by fermion determinant

Kazuki Hisayoshi, Kouji Kashiwa, Yusuke Namekawa +1

The path optimization method with machine learning is applied to the one-dimensional massive lattice Thirring model, which has the sign problem caused by the fermion determinant. T…
