The SU(3) Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM) in mean-field approximation is utilized in analyzing the chiral condensates [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the deconfinement order parameters [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], at finite isospin asymmetry. The bulk thermodynamics including pressure density, interaction measure, susceptibility and second-order correlations with baryon, strange and electric charge quantum numbers are studied in thermal and dense medium. The PLSM results are confronted to the available lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations. The excellent agreement obtained strengthens the reliability of fixing the PLSM parameters and therefore supports further predictions even beyond the scope of the lattice QCD numerical applicability. From the QCD phase structure at finite isospin chemical potential [Formula: see text], we find that the pseudocritical temperatures decrease with the increase in [Formula: see text]. We conclude that the QCD phase structure in [Formula: see text] plane seems to extend the one in [Formula: see text] plane.

We use the linear sigma model coupled to quarks to compute the effective potential beyond the mean field approximation, including the contribution of the ring diagrams at finite temperature and baryon density. We determine the model couplings and use them to study the phase diagram in the baryon chemical potential-temperature plane and to locate the Critical End Point.

In mean field approximation, the grand canonical potential of SU(3) Polyakov linear-[Formula: see text] model (PLSM) is analyzed for chiral phase transition, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and for deconfinement order-parameters, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of light- and strange-quarks, respectively. Various PLSM parameters are determined from the assumption of global minimization of the real part of the potential. Then, we have calculated the subtracted condensates [Formula: see text]. All these results are compared with recent lattice QCD simulations. Accordingly, essential PLSM parameters are determined. The modeling of the relaxation time is utilized in estimating the conductivity properties of the QCD matter in thermal medium, namely electric [Formula: see text] and heat [Formula: see text] conductivities. We found that the PLSM results on the electric conductivity and on the specific heat agree well with the available lattice QCD calculations. Also, we have calculated bulk and shear viscosities normalized to the thermal entropy, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively, and compared them with recent lattice QCD. Predictions for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are introduced. We conclude that our results on various transport properties show some essential ingredients, that these properties likely come up with, in studying QCD matter in thermal and dense medium.

A linear sigma model with logarithmic mesonic potential is proposed for computing nucleon properties. The logarithmic potential is based on some aspects of QCD. The field equations have been solved in mean-field approximation. Obtained results for nucleon properties are good in comparison with the original model and agree with measured data.

The dependence of the nucleon mass on the pion mass is studied in the framework of the extended quark sigma model. We apply the modified quark sigma model to analyze the pion–nucleon sigma term. Analytic expressions are derived using the Feynman–Hellman theorem. The field equations are solved in the mean-field approximation. The results are compared with the CP-PACS group and the cloudy bag model. The results indicate that the extended linear sigma model provides good agreement compared to other models in the mean-field approximation.

Good Agreement

The Gell-Mann and Levy model, as well as the Birse and Banerjee model, describe quark interactions via the exchange of σ- and π-mesons. We extend these models to include higher order mesonic interactions. The field equations were solved in the mean-field approximation and good agreement with the data for nucleon properties was obtained. Our agreement is better than that obtained by the original model of Birse and Banerjee and by other models. This indicates the importance of including higher order meson correlations.

The extended quark sigma model, which includes higher-order mesonic interactions is applied at finite temperature. The field equations are solved using the mean-field approximation. Nucleon properties such as the nucleon mass, the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron, and the pion-nucleon coupling constant are examined as functions of temperature. The obtained results indicate that the deconfinement phase transition conditions are satisfied in the present work at higher values of temperature. A comparison with other models is presented.

Crossover Transition

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 study the consequences of the presence of a negative electric charge condensate of antikaons in neutron stars using an effective model with derivative couplings. In our formalism, nucleons interact through the exchange of σ, ω and ϱ mesons, in the presence of electrons and muons, to accomplish electric charge neutrality and beta equilibrium. The phase transition to the antikaon condensate was implemented through the Gibbs conditions combined with the mean-field approximation, giving rise to a mixed phase of coexistence between nucleon matter and the antikaon condensate. Assuming neutrino-free matter, we observe a rapid decrease of the electron chemical potential produced by the gradual substitution of electrons by kaons to accomplish electric charge neutrality. The exotic composition of matter in neutron star including antikaon condensation and nucleons can yield a maximum mass of about M ns ~ 1.76 M ⊙.
