Abstract

We analyze the chiral phase transition of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in the cold and dense region on the lattice, developing the Grassmann version of the anisotropic tensor renormalization group algorithm. The model is formulated with the Kogut-Susskind fermion action. We use the chiral condensate as an order parameter to investigate the restoration of the chiral symmetry. The first-order chiral phase transition is clearly observed in the dense region at vanishing temperature with μ/T ∼ O(103) on a large volume of V = 10244. We also present the results for the equation of state.

Highlights

  • We plot the D dependence of δ at μ = 2.875, which is near the phase transition point and μ = 4.0, which is in the dense region with the restored chiral symmetry, as we will see below

  • We investigate the chiral phase transition employing the chiral condensate χ(n)χ(n), as an order parameter, which is defined by χ(n)χ(n) = lim lim ln Z, m→0 V →∞ V ∂m in the cold region

  • We have investigated the restoration of the chiral symmetry of the NJL model in the dense region at very low temperature, employing the Kogut-Susskind fermion action on the extremely large lattice of V = 10244, which is in the thermodynamic limit at zero temperature, essentially

Summary

NJL model on the lattice

We use the Kogut-Susskind fermion to formulate the NJL model on the lattice. [23, 24], we define the model at finite chemical potential μ as. Χ(n) and χ(n) are Grassmann-valued fields without the Dirac structure. Where n = (n1, n2, n3, n4)(∈ Z4) specifies a position in the lattice Λ, with the lattice spacing a. Since they describe the Kogut-Susskind fermions, χ(n) and χ(n) are single-component Grassmann variables. Ην(n) is the staggered sign function defined by ην(n) = (−1)n1+···+nν−1 with η1(n) = 1. The partition function is defined in the ordinal manner:. Eq (2.1) is invariant under the following continuous chiral transformation: χ(n) → eiα (n)χ(n), χ(n) → χ(n)eiα (n).
