Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaining a theoretical understanding of the properties of ultra-relativistic dense matter has been one of the most important and challenging goals in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this thesis, the author analyzes dense quark matter in QCD with gauge group SU(2) using low-energy effective theoretical techniques and elucidates a novel connection between statistical properties of the Dirac operator spectrum at high baryon chemical potential and a special class of random matrix theories. This work can be viewed as an extension of a similar correspondence between QCD and matrix models which was previously known only for infinitesimal chemical potentials. In future numerical simulations of dense matter the analytical results reported here are expected to serve as a useful tool to extract physical observables such as the BCS gap from numerical data on the Dirac spectrum.

Book excerpt: The symposium and workshop OC Continuous Advances in QCD / ArkadyfestOCO was the fifth in the series of meetings organized by the William I Fine Theoretical Physics Institute at the University of Minnesota. This meeting brought together leading researchers in high-energy physics to exchange the latest ideas in QCD and gauge theories at strong coupling at large. It honored the 60th birthday of Professor Arkady Vainshtein, and the papers included in this proceedings volume also look back on the history of the subjects in which Arkady played such a central role: applications of PCAC, penguins, invisible axions, QCD sum rules, exact beta functions, condensates in supersymmetry, powerful heavy quark expansions, and new anomalies in 2D SUSY theories. The current status of these subjects was summarized in several excellent presentations that also outlined a historical perspective. A number of papers from leading researchers in the field present new developments and ideas in modern areas of study, such as the cosmological constant problem in extra-dimension theories, supersymmetric monopoles, solitons and confinement, AdS/CFT correspondence, and high density QCD. Contents: Perturbative and Nonperturbative QCD: Electromagnetic Form Factor of the Pion (H Leutwyler); Multiple Uses of the QCD Instantons (E V Shuryak); CP-Violation and Mixing in Charmed Mesons (A A Petrov); General Aspects of QCD and the Standard Model: Probing New Physics: From Charm to Superstrings (M K Gaillard); Dynamics of QCD in a Strong Magnetic Field (V A Miransky); On Mixed Phases in Gauge Theories (V L Chernyak); Gauge Dynamics at High Temperature and Density: What QCD Tells Us About Nature (F Wilczek); Domain Walls and Strings in Dense Quark Matter (A R Zhitnitsky); Topological Field Configurations, Dynamics in Supersymmetric Models, and Theoretical Issues: Non-Abelian Monopoles, Vortices and Confinement (K Konishi); Nonperturbative Solution of Supersymmetric Gauge Theories (J R Hiller); Testing ADS/CFT Correspondence with Wilson Loops (K Zarembo); Cosmology and Axions: Axions: Past, Present, and Future (M Srednicki); QCD Vacuum and Axions: What''s Happening?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the behavior of matter at ultra-high density such as neutron stars require the knowledge of ground state properties of Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite chemical potential. However, this task has turned out to be very difficult because of two main reasons: 1) QCD may still be strongly coupled at those regimes making perturbative calculations unreliable and 2) QCD at finite density suffers from the sign problem that makes the use of lattice simulation problematic and it even affects phenomenological models. In the first part of this thesis, we show that the sign problem in analytical calculations of finite density models can be solved by considering the CK-symmetric, where C is charge conjugation and K is complex conjugation, complex saddle points of the effective action. We then explore the properties and consequences of such complex saddle points at non-zero temperature and density. Due to CK symmetry, the mass matrix eigenvalues in these models are not always real but can be complex, which results in damped oscillation of the density-density correlation function, a new feature of finite density models. To address the generality of such behavior, we next consider a lattice model of QCD with static quarks at strong-coupling. Computation of the mass spectrum confirms the existence of complex eigenvalues in much of temperature-chemical potential plane. This provides an independent confirmation of our results obtained using phenomenological models of QCD.The existence of regions in parameter space where density-density correlation function exhibit damped oscillation is one of the hallmarks of typical liquid-gas system. The formalism developed to tackle the sign problem in QCD models actually gives a simple understanding for the existence of such behavior in liquid-gas system. To this end, we develop a generic field theoretic model for the treatment of liquid-gas phase transition. An effective field theory at finite density derived from a fundamental four dimensional field theory turns out to be complex but CK symmetric. The existence of CK symmetry results in complex mass eigenvalues, which in turn leads to damped oscillatory behavior of the density-density correlation function.In the last part of this thesis, we study the effect of large amplitude density oscillations on the transport properties of superfluid nuclear matter. In nuclear matter at neutron-star densities and temperature, Cooper pairing leads to the formations of a gap in the nucleon excitation spectra resulting in exponentially strong Boltzmann suppression of many transport coefficients. Previous calculations have shown evidence that density oscillations of sufficiently large amplitude can overcome this suppression for flavor-changing [beta] processes via the mechanism of "gap-bridging". We address the simplifications made in that initial work, and show that gap bridging can counteract Boltzmann suppression of neutrino emissivity for the realistic case of modified Urca processes in matter with 3P2 neutron pairing.

This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective models of strong and electroweak interactions are extensively applied in particle physics phenomenology, and in many instances can compete with large-scale numerical simulations of Standard Model physics. These contexts include but are not limited to providing indications for phase transitions and the nature of elementary excitations of strong and electroweak matter. A precondition for obtaining high-precision predictions is the application of some advanced functional techniques to the effective models, where the sensitivity of the results to the accurate choice of the input parameters is under control and the insensitivity to the actual choice of ultraviolet regulators is ensured. The credibility of such attempts ultimately requires a clean renormalization procedure and an error estimation due to a necessary truncation in the resummation procedure. In this concise primer we discuss systematically and in sufficient technical depth the features of a number of approximate methods, as applied to various effective models of chiral symmetry breaking in strong interactions and the BEH-mechanism of symmetry breaking in the electroweak theory. After introducing the basics of the functional integral formulation of quantum field theories and the derivation of different variants of the equations which determine the n-point functions, the text elaborates on the formulation of the optimized perturbation theory and the large-N expansion, as applied to the solution of these underlying equations in vacuum. The optimisation aspects of the 2PI approximation is discussed. Each of them is presented as a specific reorganisation of the weak coupling perturbation theory. The dimensional reduction of high temperature field theories is discussed from the same viewpoint. The renormalization program is described for each approach in detail and particular attention is paid to the appropriate interpretation of the notion of renormalization in the presence of the Landau singularity. Finally, results which emerge from the application of these techniques to the thermodynamics of strong and electroweak interactions are reviewed in detail.
