Two-flavor QCD phases and condensates at finite isospin chemical potential

We study the phase structure and condensates of two-flavor QCD at finite isospin chemical potential in the framework of a confining, Dyson-Schwinger equation model. We find that the pion superfluidity phase is favored at high enough isospin chemical potential. A new gauge invariant mixed quark-gluon condensate induced by isospin chemical potential is proposed based on Operator Product Expansion. We investigate the sign and magnitude of this new condensate and show that it's an important condensate in QCD sum rules at finite isospin density.

Collective Shape-Phases of Interacting Fermion Systems

A microscopic theory is presented for identifying shape-phase structures and transitions in interacting fermion systems. The method provides a microscopic description for collective shape-phases, and reveals detailed dependence of such shape-phases on microscopic interaction strengths. The theory is generally applicable to fermion systems such as nuclei, quarks, and in particular trapped cold atoms, where shape-phases may be observed and investigated in a controlled manner.

Chemical Potential Dependence of Chiral Quark Condensate in Dyson-Schwinger Equation Approach of QCD

We propose a chemical potential dependent effective gluon propagator and study the chiral quark condensate in strongly interacting matter in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equation approach. The obtained results manifest that, as the effect of the chemical potential on the effective gluon propagator is taken into account, the chiral quark condensate decreases gradually with the increasing of the chemical potential if it is less than the critical value, and the condensate vanishes suddenly at the critical chemical potential. The inclusion of the chemical potential in the effective gluon propagator enhances the decreasing rate and decreases the critical chemical potential. It indicates that the chiral symmetry can be restored completely at a critical chemical potential and restored partially as the chemical potential is less than the critical value. If the effective gluon propagator is independent of the chemical potential, the chiral symmetry can only be restored suddenly but no gradual restoration.

Relation Between Chiral Susceptibility and Solutions of Gap Equation in Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model

We study the solutions of the gap equation, the thermodynamic potential and the chiral susceptibility in and beyond the chiral limit at finite chemical potential in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We give an explicit relation between the chiral susceptibility and the thermodynamic potential in the NJL model. We find that the chiral susceptibility is a quantity being able to represent the furcation of the solutions of the gap equation and the concavo-convexity of the thermodynamic potential in NJL model. It indicates that the chiral susceptibility can identify the stable state and the possibility of the chiral phase transition in NJL model.

Classical Nature of the Evolution of Dark Energy Density

By ignoring the local density fluctuations, we construct an uniform Higgs-field's (inflaton's) quantum theory with varying effective Planck constant ($\hbar_{v}(t) \propto R(t)^{-3}$) for the evolution of the dark energy density during the epoch after inflation. With presumable sufficient inflation in the very early period (time-scale is $t_{inf}$), so that $\hbar_{v}\to 0$, the state of universe decomposes into some decoherent components, which could be the essential meaning of phase transition, and each of them could be well described by classical mechanics for an inharmonic oscillator in the corresponding potential-well with a viscous force. We find that the cosmological constant at present is $Λ_{now}\approx 2.05\times 10^{-3}$ eV, which is almost independent of the choice of potential for inflaton, and agrees excellently with the recent observations. In addition, we find that, during the cosmic epoch after inflation, the dark energy is almost conserved as well as the matter's energy, therefore the "why now" problem can be avoided.

On the Consistency of the Ladder Approximation and the Rainbow Approximation of Dyson-Schwinger Equation of QCD

We study the consistency of the ladder approximation and the rainbow approximation of the Dyson-Schwinger equation of QCD. By considering the non-Abelian property of QCD, we show that the QED-type Ward-Takahashi identity is not required for the rainbow-ladder approximation of QCD. It indicates that there does not exists any internal inconsistency in the usual rainbow-ladder approximation of QCD. In addition, we propose an modified ladder approximation which guarantees the Slavnov-Taylor identity for the quark-gluon vertex omitting the ghost effect in the approximation.

Soliton with a Pion Field in the Global Color Symmetry Model

We calculate the property of the global color symmetry model soliton with the pion field being included explicitly. The calculated results indicate that the pion field provides a strong attraction so that the eigen-energy of a quark and the mass of a soliton reduce drastically, in contrast to those with only the sigma field.

Approach to the Rotation Driven Vibrational to Axially Rotational Shape Phase Transition Along the Yrast Line of a Nucleus

By analyzing the potential energy surface, the shape phase diagram and the energy spectrum of the nucleus in U(5) symmetry in the IBM, we propose that the U(5) symmetry with parameters $(A+B) < 0$ may be a model to describe the rotation driven vibrational to axially rotational phase transition along the yrast line. With such a model, we have described successfully the observed rotation driven shape phase transition along the yrast line of individual nucleus and proposed some other empirical evidences.

Theoretical Study on Rotational Bands and Shape Coexistence of $^{183,185,187}${Tl} in the Particle Triaxial-Rotor Model

By taking the particle triaxial-rotor model with variable moment of inertia, we investigate the energy spectra, the deformations and the single particle configurations of the nuclei $^{183,185,187}$Tl systemically. The calculated energy spectra agree with experimental data quite well. The obtained results indicate that the aligned bands observed in $^{183,185,187}$Tl originate from the $[530]{1/2}^{-}$, $[532]{3/2}^{-}$, $[660]{1/2}^{+}$ proton configuration coupled to a prolate deformed core, respectively. Whereas, the negative parity bands built upon the ${9/2}^{-}$ isomeric states in $^{183,185,187}$Tl are formed by a proton with the $[505]{9/2}^{-}$ configuration coupled to a core with triaxial oblate deformation, and the positive parity band on the ${13/2}^{+}$ isomeric state in $^{187}$Tl is generated by a proton with configuration $[606]{13/2}^{+}$ coupled to a triaxial oblate core.

Phase Transition of Finite Size Quark Droplets with Isospin Chemical Potential in the Nanbu--Jona-Lasinio Model

Making use of the NJL model and the multiple reflection expansion pproximation, we study the phase transition of the finite size droplet with u and d quarks. We find that the dynamical masses of u, d quarks are different, and the chiral symmetry can be restored at different critical radii for u, d quark. It rovides a clue to understand the effective nucleon mass splitting in nuclear matter. Meanwhile, it shows that the maximal isospin chemical potential at zero temperature is much smaller than the mass of pion in free space.

Pion-nucleon Sigma Term in the Global Color Model of QCD

We study the pion-nucleon sigma term in vacuum and in nuclear matter in the framework of global color model of QCD. With the effective gluon propagator being taken as the $δ$-function in momentum space of Munczek-Nomirovsky model, we estimate that the sigma term at chiral limit in the vacuum is 9/2 times the current quark mass and it decreases with the nuclear matter density. With the presently obtained in-medium pion-nucleon sigma term, we study the in-medium chiral quark condensate and obtain a reasonable variation behavior against the nuclear matter density.

Shape Phase Transition of the Axially Symmetric States Between the U(5) and SU(3) Symmetries

The shape phase structure and its transition of the nucleus in the transitional region between the U(5) and SU(3) symmetries is restudied within the framework of coherent-state theory with angular momentum projection in IBM-1. The certain angular momentum (or rotation-driven) effect on the nuclear shape is discussed. A coexistence of prolate and oblate shapes is found for the ground states of the transitional nuclei. A phase diagram in terms of the deformation parameter and angular momentum is given.

New Method for Numerically Solving the Chemical Potential Dependence of the Dressed Quark Propagator

Based on the rainbow approximation of Dyson-Schwinger equation and the assumption that the inverse dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential is analytic in the neighborhood of $μ=0$, a new method for obtaining the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential $μ$ from the one at zero chemical potential is developed. Using this method the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential can be obtained directly from the one at zero chemical potential without the necessity of numerically solving the corresponding coupled integral equations by iteration methods. A comparison with previous results is given.

Low-lying $s=+1$ Pentaquark states in the Inherent Nodal Structure Analysis

The strangeness $s=+1$ pentaquark states as $qqqq\bar{q}$ clusters are investigated in this letter. Starting from the inherent geometric symmetry, we analyzed the inherent nodal structure of the system. As the nodeless states, the low-lying states are picked out. Then the S-wave state $(J^P, T)= ({1/2}^{-}, 0)$ and P-wave state $(J^P, T)= ({1/2}^{+}, 0)$ may be the candidates of low-lying pentaquark states. By comparing the accessibility of the two states and referring the presently obtained K-N interaction potential, we propose that the quantum numbers of the observed pentaquark state $Θ^{+}$ may be $(J^P, T)=({1/2}^{+}, 0)$ and L=1.

Approach to Vibrational to Axially Rotational Shape Phase Transition Along the Yrast Line

With the energy surface of the nucleus in U(5) symmetry being analyzed in the framework of thermodynamics, the vibration and rotation phase diagram in terms of the angular momentum and deformation parameter is given. Together with examining the energy spectrum, we propose a theoretical approach to describe the vibrational to axially rotational phase transition along the yrast line. By analyzing the available experimental data we show that the vibrational to rotational shape phase transition along the yrast line takes place in many nuclei.

Quark Condensates in Nuclear Matter in the Global Color Symmetry Model of QCD

With the global color symmetry model being extended to finite chemical potential, we study the density dependence of the local and nonlocal scalar quark condensates in nuclear matter. The calculated results indicate that the quark condensates increase smoothly with the increasing of nuclear matter density before the critical value (about 12$ρ_0$) is reached. It also manifests that the chiral symmetry is restored suddenly as the density of nuclear matter reaches its critical value. Meanwhile, the nonlocal quark condensate in nuclear matter changes nonmonotonously against the space-time distance among the quarks.

Reevaluation of the density dependence of nucleon radius and mass in the global color symmetry model of QCD

With the global color symmetry model (GCM) at finite chemical potential, the density dependence of the bag constant, the total energy and the radius of a nucleon in nuclear matter is investigated. A relation between the nuclear matter density and the chemical potential with the action of QCD being taken into account is obtained. A maximal nuclear matter density for the existence of the bag with three quarks confined within is given. The calculated results indicate that, before the maximal density is reached, the bag constant and the total energy of a nucleon decrease, and the radius of a nucleon increases slowly, with the increasing of the nuclear matter density. As the maximal nuclear matter density is reached, the mass of the nucleon vanishes and the radius becomes infinite suddenly. It manifests that a phase transition from nucleons to quarks takes place.

Low-lying S-wave and P-wave Dibaryons in a Nodal Structure Analysis

The dibaryon states as six-quark clusters of exotic QCD states are investigated in this paper. With the inherent nodal surface structure analysis, the wave functions of the six-quark clusters (in another word, the dibaryons) are classified. The contribution of the hidden color channels are discussed. The quantum numbers of the low-lying dibaryon states are obtained. The States $[ΩΩ]_{(0,0^{+})}$, $[ΩΩ]_{(0,2^{-})}$, $[Ξ^{*}Ω]_{(1/2,0^{+})}$, $[Σ^{*}Σ^{*}]_{(0,4^{-})}$ and the hidden color channel states with the same quantum numbers are proposed to be the candidates of dibaryons, which may be observed in experiments.
