We study the QCD phase diagram using the linear sigma model coupled to quarks. We compute the effective potential at finite temperature and quark chemical potential up to ring diagrams contribution. We show that, provided the values for the pseudo-critical temperature Tc = 155 MeV and critical baryon chemical potential μBc ≃ 1 GeV, together with the vacuum sigma and pion masses. The model couplings can be fixed and that these in turn help to locate the region where the crossover transition line becomes first order.

We demonstrate the emergence of the Polchinski–Strominger term in the string representation of a Wilson loop in the confinement phase of the finite-temperature 3D Yang–Mills theory. At a temperature which is roughly twice smaller than the deconfinement critical temperature, the value of the coupling of that term becomes such that the string conformal anomaly cancels out, thereby admitting a fully quantum description of the quark–antiquark string in 3D rather than 26D.

Abstract We probe warped BTZ ×S3 geometry with various string solitons and explore the classical integrability criteria of the associated phase space configurations using Kovacic’s algorithm. We consider consistent truncation of the parent sigma model into one dimension and obtain the corresponding normal variational equations (NVE). Two specific examples have been considered where the sigma model is reduced over the subspace of the full target space geometry. In both examples, NVEs are found to possess Liouvillian form of solutions which ensures the classical integrability of the associated phase space dynamics. We address similar issues for the finite temperature counterpart of the duality, where we analyse the classical phase space of the string soliton probing warped BTZ black string geometry. Our analysis reveals a clear compatibility between normal variational equations and the rules set by the Kovacic’s criteria. This ensures the classical integrability of the parent sigma model for the finite temperature extension of the duality conjecture.

AbstractUsing the Gaussian effective potential approach, φ6 soliton solutions at finite temperature are studied for both the general case and the particular case λ2 = 2ξm2. A critical temperature is found at which soliton solutions cease to exist. The effective potential together with the mass-gap equation are studied in detail, and comparison with existing work on this subject is made

We study λφ4 theory using an environmentally friendly finite temperature renormalization group. We derive flow equations, using a fiducial temperature as flow parameter, develop them perturbatively in an expansion free from ultraviolet and infrared divergences, then integrate them numerically from zero to temperatures above the critical temperature. The critical temperature, at which the mass vanishes, is obtained by integrating the flow equations, and is determined as a function of the zero temperature mass and coupling. We calculate the field expectation value and the minimum of the effective potential as functions of temperature and derive some universal amplitude ratios which connect the broken and symmetric phases of the theory. The latter are found to be in good agreement with those of the three-dimensional Ising model obtained from high and low temperature series expansions.
