In this workshop, we have heard QCD, QCD phase diagram Phase transitions, phase coexistence Chiral symmetry breaking Axial anomaly Color superconductivity Critical point(s) Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) My talk is also related to these.
Constituents
Quark Flavors Tc ~ 200 MeV μc ~ 400 MeV ms~100MeV Quark flavors Kobayashi & Maskawa (1973) Light quarks mu~3MeV md~5MeV ms~100MeV Heavy quarks mc~1.3 GeV mb~4.3 GeV mt~171 GeV Tc ~ 200 MeV μc ~ 400 MeV ms~100MeV same order As far as we are interested in physics around several hundred MeV, we can take heavy quark mass to ∞.
Dynamics
Quark Colors and Quantum Chromo Dynamics 1966 SUc(3) YM theory as a model of strong interaction Nambu (’66) 1965-1972 Precursors of asymptotic freedom Vanyashin & Terenteev (’65), Khriplovich (’69), ’t Hooft (’72) 1973 Discovery of asymptotic freedom Gross & Wilczek, Politzer (’73)
Finally, I discovered QUARK! which is more like liquid than I expected. It says this is QUARK, but I cannot see its color. Maybe this should be called “QUARKs” ? “QUARK” in Germany

Chiral-super interplay in high density QCD cSB CSC QGP ?
How to study phase structure ? Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson (GLW) approach : model independent, analytic 1. Topological structure of the phase diagram 2. Order of the phase transition 3. Critical properties Lattice QCD : exact, limited to μ~0, numerically heavy Models (NJL model, strong coupling QCD etc) : qualitative, semi-analytic σ (x) : Order parameter field Same symmetry with underlying theory K = {T, m, μ, … } : External parameters Recipe Ginzburg-Landau = Saddle point approximation Wilson = Fluctuations by renormalization group method ・ Valid for continuous or weak 1st order transitions ・ Choice of σ (x) is an “art” ・ Results should be eventually checked by e.g. lattice QCD Caution

Possible phase diagram in QCD cSB CSC QGP “Anomaly driven critical point in high density QCD” Yamamoto, Tachibana, Baym & Hatsuda, PRL 97 (’06)
Comments Finding precise location of new critical point requires phenomenological models, and lattice QCD simulation. (GL approach just can tell us the topological structures) To make schematic phase diagram more realistic should include *realistic quark masses *for neutron stars, charge neutrality and beta equilibrium *Interplay with confinement (characterized by Polyakov loop) [e.g., R. Pisarski, PRD62 (2000); K. Fukushima, PLB591 (2004); C.Ratti, M. Thaler, W. Weise PRD73 (2006); C.Ratti, S. Rössner and W. Weise, PRD (2007) hep-ph/0609281 ]. * thermal gluon fluctuations * possible spatial inhomogeneities (LOFF states)
