Scale hierarchy in high-temperature QCD
Oscar Akerlund, Philippe de Forcrand
Because of asymptotic freedom, QCD becomes weakly interacting at high temperature: this is the reason for the transition to a deconfined phase in Yang-Mills theory at temperature $…
Euclidean Dynamical Triangulation revisited: is the phase transition really first order?
Tobias Rindlisbacher, Philippe de Forcrand
The transition between the two phases of 4D Euclidean Dynamical Triangulation [1] was long believed to be of second order until in 1996 first order behavior was found for sufficien…
Complex Theory at Finite Temperature and Density via Extended Mean Field Theory
Oscar Akerlund, Philippe de Forcrand
We review the Extended Mean Field (EMFT) approximation and apply it to complex, scalar theory on the lattice. We determine the () phase diagram and study the critical pr…
The chiral phase transition for two-flavour QCD at imaginary and zero chemical potential
Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia, Philippe de Forcrand +2
The chiral symmetry of QCD with two massless quark flavours gets restored in a non-analytic chiral phase transition at finite temperature and zero density. Whether this is a first-…
Dynamical Mean Field Approximation Applied to Quantum Field Theory
Oscar Akerlund, Philippe de Forcrand, Antoine Georges +1
We apply the Dynamical Mean Field (DMFT) approximation to the real, scalar phi^4 quantum field theory. By comparing to lattice Monte Carlo calculations, perturbation theory and sta…
