Abstract
The spatial z correlators of meson operators in Nf=2+1+1 lattice QCD with optimal domain-wall quarks at the physical point are studied for seven temperatures in the range of 190–1540 MeV. The meson operators include a complete set of Dirac bilinears (scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial vector, tensor vector, and axial-tensor vector), and each for six flavor combinations (u¯d, u¯s, s¯s, u¯c, s¯c, and c¯c). In a recent paper [], I focused on the meson correlators of u and d quarks, and discussed their implications for the effective restoration of SU(2)L×SU(2)R and U(1)A chiral symmetries, as well as the emergence of approximate SU(2)CS chiral spin symmetry. In this work, we extend our study to meson correlators of six flavor contents, and first observe the hierarchical restoration of chiral symmetries in QCD, from SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)A to SU(3)L×SU(3)R×U(1)A, and to SU(4)L×SU(4)R×U(1)A, as the temperature is increased from 190 to 1540 MeV. Moreover, we compare the temperature windows for the emergence of the approximate SU(2)CS symmetry in light and heavy vector mesons, and find that the temperature windows are dominated by the (u¯c,s¯c,c¯c) sectors.
