Abstract

We studied the magnetic effects on the chiral transition and the melting properties of vector and axial-vector mesons in the improved soft-wall AdS/QCD model under a charged magnetic background, which is solved perturbatively from an Einstein–Maxwell system with a negative cosmological constant. The phase diagrams for both chiral transition and meson melting have been obtained. We show that the inverse magnetic catalysis emerged naturally in the improved soft-wall model. We also find that the magnetic field can induce meson melting, at least for the vector and axial-vector mesons, in our holographic setup.

Highlights

  • The QCD phase diagram in the presence of a magnetic field has been studied extensively over the past decades [1]

  • We obtain the phase diagram for both cases with the existence of magnetic field, and we find that the inverse magnetic catalysis manifests in both cases

  • The background magnetic field is introduced by a charged magnetic black hole solution which is solved perturbatively from an Einstein–Maxwell system with a negative cosmological constant [92]

Summary

Introduction

The QCD phase diagram in the presence of a magnetic field has been studied extensively over the past decades [1]. The lattice simulations have indicated that the critical temperature decreases with the increase of the magnetic field, which is termed inverse magnetic catalysis (IMC) [8,9] This effect conforms with some earlier results obtained from chiral perturbation theory [10] or the bag model [11]. [84], the author computed the deconfinement critical temperature under the influence of a background magnetic field within the hard-wall model and the holographic duals of flavored and unflavored N = 4 super Yang–Mills theories on R3 × S1, and showed that the inverse magnetic catalysis happens for these cases when B T 2. We will give a further study on the QCD phase diagram in the improved soft-wall AdS/QCD model with a charged magnetic background, which can be solved perturbatively from an Einstein–Maxwell system [92].
