Abstract

We compare results from the Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM) in optimized perturbation theory (OPT) with the mean-field approximation (MFA). At finite temperatures and chemical potentials, the chiral condensates and the decofinement order parameters, the thermodynamic pressure, the pseudo-critical temperatures, the subtracted condensates, the second- and high-order moments of various conserved charges (cumulants) obtained in MFA are compared with OPT and also confronted to available lattice QCD simulations. We conclude that when moving from lower- to higher-order moments of various quantum charges, OPT becomes more closer to QCD.

Highlights

  • In quantized field theory [1,2,3,4,5,6], the linear-σ model [7] (LSM) with a spinless scalar field σa [8] and triplet pseudoscalar fields πa was introduced in order to describe the pion-nucleon interactions and the chiral degrees of freedom

  • We intend to check whether the optimized perturbation theory (OPT) would be able to play the role of an alternative to the nonperturbative approximation, such as the mean-field approximation (MFA), of the Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM)

  • We study the quark-hadron phase structure of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) matter at finite temperature and chemical potential in MFA and OPT in PLSM

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In quantized field theory [1,2,3,4,5,6], the linear-σ model [7] (LSM) with a spinless scalar field σa [8] and triplet pseudoscalar fields πa was introduced in order to describe the pion-nucleon interactions and the chiral degrees of freedom. The phase structure [12,14,15,16], the properties of QCD in finite magnetic fields [16,17,18,19], and various thermodynamic quantities have been estimated and reported, at finite baryon density [14,18,20] and isospin asymmetry [21] In almost all these studies, a comprehensive confrontation with the first-principle lattice calculations was the main part.
