We study the μ-μ45-T phase diagram of the 2+1-dimensional Gross-Neveu model, where μ denotes the ordinary chemical potential, μ45 the chiral chemical potential and T the temperature. We use the mean-field approximation and two different lattice regularizations with naive chiral fermions. An inhomogeneous phase at finite lattice spacing is found for one of the two regularizations. Our results suggest that there is no inhomogeneous phase in the continuum limit. We show that a chiral chemical potential is equivalent to an isospin chemical potential. Thus, all results presented in this work can also be interpreted in the context of isospin imbalance.

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.

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 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 ⊙.

We discuss the phase structure of a lattice Higgs-Yukawa system in the variational mean field approximation with contributions of fermionic determinant being calculated in a ladder approximation. In particular, we demonstrate that in this approximation the ferromagnetic phase in the Z2 model with naive fermions can appear as an artifact of a finite lattice and that the phase diagram for this model on infinite lattice changes qualitatively at space-time dimension D = 4 compared with those at D > 4.

Two-loop corrections for the standard Abelian Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model are obtained with the optimized perturbation theory (OPT) method. These contributions improve the usual mean-field and Hartree–Fock results by generating a 1/Nc suppressed term, which only contributes at finite chemical potential. We take the zero temperature limit observing that, within the OPT, chiral symmetry is restored at a higher chemical potential μ, while the resulting equation of state is stiffer than the one obtained when mean-field is applied to the standard version of the model. In order to understand the physical nature of these finite Nc contributions, we perform a numerical analysis to show that the OPT quantum corrections mimic effective repulsive vector–vector interaction contributions. We also derive a simple analytical approximation for the mass gap, accurate at the percent level, matching the mean-field approximation extended by an extra vector channel to OPT. For μ ≳ μc the effective vector coupling matching OPT is numerically close (for the Abelian model) to the Fierz-induced Hartree–Fock value G/(2Nc), where G is the scalar coupling, and then increases with μ in a well-determined manner.

The two-dimensional negative-U Hubbard model is studied by means of the composite operator approach. In a generalized mean-field approximation we calculate different quantities, as the chemical potential, the double occupancy, the static uniform spin magnetic susceptibility and the density of states for various values of the particle density, attractive on-site interaction and temperature. Comparison with the results obtained by numerical analysis on finite size lattices shows a good agreement.

We study the effects of the scalar-isovector meson δ and those of a new light scalar-isovector resonance ς on the phase transition of hadronic matter to hadronic matter with a condensate of antikaons, using an effective model with derivative couplings. In our formalism, nucleons interact through the exchange of σ, ω, ϱ, δ, and ς 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 condensed antikaons. Scalar-isovector mesons operate for restoring isospin symmetry and reduce this way the value of the effective nucleon mass, independent of the depth of the optical potential for antikaons. Moreover, as expected we found that an increase of the depth of optical potential favors the population of antikaons. Finally, 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.

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.

In the mean field approximation of (2 + 1)-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model, we strictly derive several sets of coupled equations for the chiral susceptibility, the quark number susceptibility, etc. at finite temperature and quark chemical potential. The critical exponents of these susceptibilities in the vicinity of the QCD critical end point (CEP) are presented in SU(2) and SU(3) cases, respectively. It is found that these various susceptibilities share almost the same critical behavior near the CEP. The comparisons between the critical exponents for the order parameters and the theoretical predictions are also included.
