Polyakov loop in chiral quark models at finite temperature
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
We describe how the inclusion of the gluonic Polyakov loop incorporates large gauge invariance and drastically modifies finite temperature calculations in chiral quark models after…
Chiral Lagrangians at finite temperature and the Polyakov Loop
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
Heat kernel expansions at finite temperature of massless QCD and chiral quark models generate effective actions relevant for both low and high temperature QCD. The key relevance of…
Polyakov Loop at Finite Temperature in Chiral Quark Models
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo
At finite temperature, chiral quark models do not incorporate large gauge invariance which implies genuinely non-perturbative finite temperature gluonic degrees of freedom. Motivat…
One-loop effective action of QCD at high temperature using the heat kernel method
E. Megias
Perturbation theory is an important tool to describe the properties of QCD at very high temperatures. Recently a new technique has been proposed to compute the one-loop effective a…
Low Energy Chiral Lagrangian in Curved Space-Time from the Spectral Quark Model
E. Megias, E. Ruiz Arriola, L. L. Salcedo +1
We analyze the recently proposed Spectral Quark Model in the light of Chiral Perturbation Theory in curved space-time. In particular, we calculate the chiral coefficients $L_1, ...…
