Abstract

We investigate whether the rho-meson melting scenario is compatible with chiral symmetry restoration utilizing a comprehensive evaluation of the QCD and Weinberg sum rules at finite temperature. As input to this analysis, in-medium vector spectral functions which describe dilepton data from ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are used along with temperature dependent condensates from lattice calculations, when available, or approximated by a hadron resonance gas. The combined deployment of QCD and Weinberg sum rules turns out to be rather stringent in constructing axialvector spectral functions consistent with (partial) chiral restoration.
