1 QCD Thermodynamics from Effective Field Theories Chihiro Sasaki Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, Germany ITP, University of Wroclaw, Poland Selected Issues: interplay between chiral symmetry breaking and confinement hadrons near chiral symmetry restoration chiral thermodynamics of heavy-light hadrons

2 What is the origin of matter? after EW phase transition: Standard Model (EM & Weak plus Strong int.) QCD phase transition is the last transition in the evolution of the Universe! up, down quarks ( 5 MeV): SM ingredients Where does the nucleon mass ( 1 GeV) come from? 10 % from EW/Higgs, and 90 % from QCD!

3 scale and confinement? from elementary particle to composite states? fundamental issues in non-abelian gauge theories! effective field theories: particles contained: either fundamental or composite! based on fundamental/emergent symmetries broad spectrum of applications to QCD, QCD-like, SM, BSM

4 Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underlies Hadron Physics theory of strong interaction among quarks (q) and gluons (F µν ) SU c (3) : L = q a f ( iγµ D µ ab δ abm f ) q b f 1 4 F α µνf µν α colors = (r, g, b) and flavors = (u, d, s, c, b, t) asymptotic freedom color confinement α s q q q q- q Baryons (Fermions) Mesons (Bosons) Hadrons (proton, neutron, pion...) 1 Λ QCD 200 MeV energy hadrons are colorless : qqq, qq SU(3) c singlet exotic hadrons: tetraquarks ( q qqq), pentaquarks ( qqqqq), dibaryons (qqqqqq), glueballs

5 origin of hadron masses? proton u u d u u d 15 MeV 940 MeV current quark masses (cf. QCD scale 200 MeV) m u m d < m s m c m b m t 4 MeV 7 MeV 100 MeV 1.2 GeV 4 GeV 180 GeV } {{ } light quarks } {{ } heavy quarks chiral symmetry in u, d-quark sector (m u,d /Λ QCD 1) L = L(q L ) + L(q R ) + m u,d ( q L q R + q R q L ) SU L (2) SU R (2) Is it manifest in hadron spectra?...

7 Questions How are hadrons formed from quarks and gluons? how are color-singlet states formed? exotic hadrons? dynamical origin of hadronic interactions and masses? composition of QCD matter at finite temperature/density? Dynamical χsb & Color Confinement L = F F µν + q(id - - m)q 4 color confinement trace anomaly pion as NG boson µν / instantons U(1) A anomaly dynamical chiral symmetry breaking nuclear force

8 Why QCD matter under extreme conditions? the origin of hadron masses disentangle the mechanism of the mass generation by reversing the process! dynamical disappearance of the mass heated: going backward in time in the evolution of the Universe compressed: several times of the nuclear matter density interior of compact stars interplay between chiral dynamics and color confinement Lattice QCD at small µ/t : no true phase transition but crossover which takes place first? at µ 0 LQCD is not accessible. accessible in current and future experiments hot matter: RHIC (BNL), LHC (CERN) dense matter: FAIR (GSI), NICA (Dubna), J-PARC (Tokai)

17 II. Hadrons with Unbroken Chiral Symmetry

18 Confinement vs. dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DχSB) to which extent does DχSB contain information on confinement? Banks-Casher relation: low-lying Dirac eigenmodes generate qq. qq = lim m q lim πρ(0), ρ(λ) = 1 δ(λ λ n ) V V removal of low-lying Dirac modes NO DχSB Q. does confinement disappear simultaneously? linking Polyakov loop to spectral function of lattice Dirac operator [Gattringer ( 06); Bruckmann, Gattringer, Hagen ( 07); Synatschke, Wipf, Langfeld ( 08)] manifestly gauge invariant formalism [Gongyo, Iritani, Suganuma ( 12); Doi, Iritani, Suganuma ( 13,14)] NO particular Dirac-modes that crucially affect confinement! disappearance of DχSB DOES NOT mean deconfinement? n

V (r) = 1 r + e r r V N (r) = 1 r + e r r + e 2r r + e 2r r + + e Nr r + small r 1 r 2 exp[ mr] 1 N r

25 Role of higher-lying hadronic states near phase transitions increasing T and n B toward QCD phase transition: More and more hadronic states activated!... How to handle them? holographic QCD models: 1/N c corrections? 4d effective field theories: unknown interactions among higher-lying states? if renormalized/integrated out, T, n B -dep. interactions? L (π, ρ, ω, ) L low lying (π, ρ, ω, ; g(t, n B )) might be bridged via DS eq. and FRG? fixed along with comparison to lattice observables?
