Inhomogeneous chiral condensates in three-flavor quark matter
Stefano Carignano, Michael Buballa
We investigate the effect of strange quark degrees of freedom on the formation of inhomogeneous chiral condensates in a three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model in mean-field approxi…
The HTL Lagrangian at NLO: the photon case
Stefano Carignano, Margaret E. Carrington, Joan Soto
We calculate the two loop hard correction to the photon self-energy in an electron-positron plasma (EPP) for arbitrary soft momenta. This provides the only missing ingredient to ob…
Chiral kinetic theory from the on-shell effective theory: derivation of collision terms
Stefano Carignano, Cristina Manuel, Juan M. Torres-Rincon
We show that the on-shell effective theory (OSEFT) is the quantum field theory counterpart of a Foldy-Wouthuysen diagonalization of relativistic quantum mechanics for massless ferm…
Influence of quark masses and strangeness degrees of freedom on inhomogeneous chiral phases
Michael Buballa, Stefano Carignano
Several model calculations of the QCD phase structure at nonzero temperature and density suggest that in certain regions of the phase diagram inhomogeneous condensates are favored…
