The hadron resonance gas model: thermodynamics of QCD and Polyakov loop
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
We study the hadron resonance gas model and describe the equation of state of QCD and the vacuum expectation value of the Polyakov loop in the confined phase, in terms of hadronic…
From Chiral quark dynamics with Polyakov loop to the hadron resonance gas model
E. Ruiz Arriola, E. Megias, L. L. Salcedo
Chiral quark models with Polyakov loop at finite temperature have been often used to describe the phase transition. We show how the transition to a hadron resonance gas is realized…
Trace Anomaly, Thermal Power Corrections and Dimension Two condensates in the deconfined phase
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
The trace anomaly of gluodynamics on the lattice shows clear fingerprints of a dimension two condensate above the phase transition. The condensate manifests itself through even pow…
The Powers of Deconfinement
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
The trace anomaly of gluodynamics encodes the breakdown of classical scale invariance due to interactions around the deconfinement phase transition. While it is expected that at hi…
The Quantum and Local Polyakov loop in Chiral Quark Models at Finite Temperature
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
We describe results for the confinement-deconfinement phase transition as predicted by the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model where the local and quantum Polyakov loop is coupled to the con…
Chiral Lagrangian at finite temperature from the Polyakov-Chiral Quark Model
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
We analyze the consequences of the inclusion of the gluonic Polyakov loop in chiral quark models at finite temperature. Specifically, the low-energy effective chiral Lagrangian fro…
