We report on results about the mass sensitivity of chiral symmetry restoration in the linear sigma model. For masses of the pseudoscalar meson octet which are close to the experimental values, we observed only a gradual change in the order parameters, when the temperature was changed. To estimate the size of the first order transition region around the chiral limit, we have varied the mass input for the tree level parametrization in several ways. The point with realistic meson masses turned out to lie well inside the crossover region.

We use the linear sigma model with quarks to study the QCD phase diagram from the point of view of chiral symmetry restoration. We compute the leading order effective potential for high and low temperatures and finite quark chemical potential, up to the contribution of the ring diagrams to account for the plasma screening effects. We fix the values of the model couplings using physical values for the input parameters such as  the vacuum pion and sigma masses, the critical temperature at vanishing quark chemical potential and the conjectured end point value of the baryon chemical potential of the transition line at vanishing temperature. We find that the critical end point (CEP) is located at low temperatures and high quark chemical potentials $(\mu^{\text{CEP}}>320\ {\mbox{MeV}},T^{\text{CEP}}<40\ {\mbox{MeV}})$.

It is shown that the linear σ-model in one-loop order in the chiral limit recovers meson masses mπ=0, mσ=2mqk (NJL), [Formula: see text] (KSRF), along with couplings [Formula: see text] (VMD universality) and Weinberg’s mended chiral symmetry decay width relation Γσ=(9/2)Γρ. The linear σ-model combined quark and meson loops also properly predict the radiative decays π0→2γ, π→evγ and δ0(983)→2γ.

Abstract We generalize the unifying relations for tree amplitudes to the 1-loop Feynman integrands. By employing the 1-loop CHY formula, we construct differential operators which transmute the 1-loop gravitational Feynman integrand to Feynman integrands for a wide range of theories, including Einstein-Yang-Mills theory, Einstein-Maxwell theory, pure Yang-Mills theory, Yang-Mills-scalar theory, Born-Infeld theory, Dirac-Born-Infeld theory, bi-adjoint scalar theory, non-linear sigma model, as well as special Galileon theory. The unified web at 1-loop level is established. Under the well known unitarity cut, the 1-loop level operators will factorize into two tree level operators. Such factorization is also discussed.

The fermion and meson sectors of the quark-level SU(2) linear sigma model are dynamically generated from a meson–quark Lagrangian, with the quark (q) and meson (σ, π) fields all treated as elementary, having neither bare masses nor expectation values. In the chiral limit, the masses are predicted to be mq = fπg, mπ = 0, mσ = 2mq, and we also find that the quark–meson coupling is [Formula: see text], the three-meson coupling is [Formula: see text] and the four-meson coupling is λ = 2g2 = g′/fπ, where fπ ≃ 90 MeV is the pion decay constant and Nc = 3 is the color number. By gauging this model one can generate the couplings to the vector mesons ρ and A1, including the quark–vector coupling constant gρ = 2π, gρππ, gA1ρπ and the masses mρ ~ 700 MeV, [Formula: see text]; of course the vector and axial currents remain conserved throughout.
