Abstract The quark propagator at finite temperature is investigated using quenched gauge configurations. The propagator form factors are investigated for temperatures above and below the gluon deconfinement temperature $$T_c$$Tc and for the various Matsubara frequencies. Significant differences between the functional behaviour below and above $$T_c$$Tc are observed both for the quark wave function and the running quark mass. The results for the running quark mass indicate a link between gluon dynamics, the mechanism for chiral symmetry breaking and the deconfinement mechanism. For temperatures above $$T_c$$Tc and for low momenta, our results support also a description of quarks as free quasiparticles.

Abstract We investigate chiral symmetry breaking in a model of Dirac fermions with a complexified coupling constant whose imaginary part represents dissipation. We introduce a chiral chemical potential and observe that for real coupling a relativistic BCS-BEC crossover is realized. We solve the model in the mean-field approximation and construct the phase diagram as a function of the complex coupling. It is found that the dynamical mass increases under dissipation, although the chiral symmetry gets restored if dissipation exceeds a threshold.

We discuss phase structure of chiral symmetry breaking of the D-dimensional (2≤D≤3) Gross–Neveu model at finite temperature, density and constant curvature. We evaluate the effective potential in a weak background approximation to thermalize the model as well as in the leading order of the 1/N-expansion. A third-order critical line is observed similarly to the D=2 case.

An extended NJL model with [Formula: see text] and (qq)-interactions is studied at finite temperature and baryon number density. We investigate the chiral symmetry breaking, its restoration and the behavior of meson and diquark masses, decay and coupling constants as functions of T and µ.

The intrinsic quadrupole deformation has been calculated at finite temperature in 20 Ne both in the mean-field approximation and using an exact shell model diagonalization. The results support the view that the phase transition seen at finite temperature in mean-field calculations is not due to the change in nuclear shape from deformed to spherical, but rather is a collective-to-non-collective transition. Both calculations indicate that the average deformation of 20 Ne changes from β rms ≈0.31 at zero temperature to just over β rms =0.2 at T=3.0 MeV. The calculations also suggest that, in the mean-field approximation, the square of the quadrupole operator, Q[2]·Q[2], is a better indicator of shape changes than Q[2] itself.
