We analyse the hadron/quark phase transition described by the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model [quark phase] and the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model (eNJL) [hadron phase]. While the original formulation of the NJL model is not capable of describing hadronic properties due to its lack of confinement, it can be extended with a scalar-vector interaction so it exhibits this property, the so-called eNJL model. As part of this analysis, we obtain the equations of state within the SU(2) versions of both models for the hadron and the quark phases and determine the binodal surface.

AbstractWith an effective chiral flavour SU(3) model we show the effect of hadronic resonances on the QCD phase diagram. We state that varying the resonance couplings to the scalar and vector fields affects the order and location of the phase transition, the possible existence of a critical end point (CEP), and the thermodynamic properties. We present (strange) quark number susceptibilities at zero baryochemical potential and at three different points at the phase transition. Comparing results to lattice QCD, we state that reasonable large vector couplings limit the phase transition to a smooth crossover ruling out a CEP.

Sensitivity of Polyakov Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model and Polyakov linear sigma-model (PLSM) has been utilized in studying QCD phase-diagram. From quasi-particle model (QPM) a gluonic sector is integrated into LSM. The hadron resonance gas (HRG) model is used in calculating the thermal and dense dependence of quark-antiquark condensate. We review these four models with respect to their descriptions for the chiral phase transition. We analyze the chiral order parameter, normalized net-strange condensate, and chiral phase-diagram and compare the results with recent lattice calculations. We find that PLSM chiral boundary is located in upper band of the lattice QCD calculations and agree well with the freeze-out results deduced from various high-energy experiments and thermal models. Also, we find that the chiral temperature calculated from HRG is larger than that from PLSM. This is also larger than the freeze-out temperatures calculated in lattice QCD and deduced from experiments and thermal models. The corresponding temperature and chemical potential are very similar to that of PLSM. Although the results from PNJL and QLSM keep the same behavior, their chiral temperature is higher than that of PLSM and HRG. This might be interpreted due the very heavy quark masses implemented in both models.

We review results from lattice QCD calculations on the thermodynamics of strong-interaction matter with emphasis on input these calculations can provide to the exploration of the phase diagram and properties of hot and dense matter created in heavy ion experiments. This review is organized in sections as follows: (1) Introduction, (2) QCD thermodynamics on the lattice, (3) QCD phase diagram at high temperature, (4) Bulk thermodynamics, (5) Fluctuations of conserved charges, (6) Transport properties, (7) Open heavy flavors and heavy quarkonia, (8) QCD in external magnetic fields, (9) Summary.

As it was shown earlier [Dzero, Gor'kov and Zvezdin, J. Phys.: Condens. Matt.12, L711 (1000)], the properties of the first-order valence phase transition in YbInCu4 in the wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures are perfectly described in terms of a simple entropy transition for free Yb ions. Within this approach, the crystal field effects have been taken into account and we show that the phase diagram in the B - T plane acquires some anisotropy with respect to the direction of an external magnetic field.

The color–flavor locked (CFL) phase is believed to be the fundamental state of strange quark matter (SQM) at high densities. The CFL phase is a color superconductor composed of pairs of u, d and s quarks, with no electrons, forming a Bose condensate. In this work, we analyze a possible phase transition of hadronic matter made of nucleons, Δ–resonances, hyperons and leptons, to CFL superconducting quark matter. An equation of state taking into account this phase transition is employed to determine the characteristics of a hybrid star. The role of the color superconducting gap on the hybrid stars properties is also discussed.

At a critical finite chemical potential and low temperature QCD undergoes the chiral restoration phase transition. The folklore tradition is that simultaneously hadrons are deconfined and there appears the quark matter. We demonstrate that it is possible to have confined but chirally symmetric hadrons at a finite chemical potential and hence beyond the chiral restoration point at a finite chemical potential and low temperature there could exist a chirally symmetric matter consisting of chirally symmetric but confined hadrons. If it does happen in QCD, then the QCD phase diagram should be reconsidered with obvious implications for heavy ion programs and astrophysics.
