  1. Mass and running effects in the pressure for cold and dense matter Letícia F. Palhares Eduardo S. Fraga

  2. Outline • Quark mass and RG corrections in in-medium QCD • The Linear Sigma Model (LSM) at finite density • Renormalization of the LSM at finite density • Properties of the RG running • Conclusions and perspectives 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  3. Phase diagram of QCD with massive quarks • Finite quark masses can bring qualitative and quantitative modifications of the phase diagram: • Expected behavior of the critical point with quark mass • [Stephanov (2006)] 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  4. Lattice calculations including massive quarks show sensible corrections in the chiral condensate [Bernard et al – MILC collab. (2003)] Within effective models quark mass effects are also relevant for the chiral transition: [Dumitru, Röder & Ruppert (2004)] What about the axis? ? 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  5. In-medium QCD with massive quarks • Inperturbative QCD: • 2-loop pressure in QCD at finite mu: Quark mass and RG corrections up to ~25% [Fraga & Romatschke (2005)] • Consequences on the nature and intensity of the chiral transition • astrophysical implications: new class of stars for a strongly 1st order chiral transition. [Fraga, Pisarski & Schaffner-Bielich (2001/2002)] • Complementary study: Low energy effective models at finite density (e.g. Linear Sigma Model) 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  6. Explicit SB The Linear Sigma Model at finite density Quark-meson coupling: Yukawa type • QCD: approximate chiral symmetry • Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking: • Parameters are fixed to reproduce measured vacuum properties • Renormalizable However: Truncation of the perturbative series introduces a renormalization scale [even for mean-field!] . implementation of RG running 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  7. Beyond mean-field for ( resummation needed! ): . • ZPT + 2-loop + MSC Resummation [Caldas, Mota & Nemes (2001)] • CJT + Hartree approx. [Röder, Ruppert & Rischke (2003)] • ZPT+ Averaged sigma fluctuations [Mócsy, Mishustin & Ellis (2004)] • ... • Mean-field calculation of the effective potential at finite T and (no loops, no RG running, zero point (ZPT) logs neglected) • Previous results in the LSM: [Scavenius et al (2001)] 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  8. Effects on the position of • Consequences on the nature of the chiral PT  astro implications • Proposal: Beyond mean-field at finite density and zero T (no resummation needed) • Study the sigma direction • Other condensates don’t affect much the chiral one • [Röder, Ruppert & Rischke (2003)] • ZPT and renormalization in the scheme • Implementation of RG running 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  9. Mean-field Exchange contribution with both fields massive:  more involved than QCD Effective Potential • Using a standard procedure [Jackiw], one obtains the loop expansion for the effective potential, neglecting terms of : 2nd Rio-Saclay: QCD under extreme conditions

  15. Conclusion and Perspectives • Finite mass effects do play an important role in the phase structure of QCD • We have computed the exchange correction in the LSM at finite mu for arbitrary masses (up to finite barMS corrections) • Next steps: • , , nature of the chiral PT... • Corrections to and • Implementation of RG running • On the lattice, calculations with realistic quark masses and finite mu (also for effective theories!)
