Experimental Values

We report on results about the mass sensitivity of chiral symmetry restoration in the linear sigma model. For masses of the pseudoscalar meson octet which are close to the experimental values, we observed only a gradual change in the order parameters, when the temperature was changed. To estimate the size of the first order transition region around the chiral limit, we have varied the mass input for the tree level parametrization in several ways. The point with realistic meson masses turned out to lie well inside the crossover region.

Renormalization Procedure

We investigate the role of undetermined finite contributions generated by radiative corrections in an SU (2)× SU (2) linear sigma model with quarks. Although some of such terms can be absorbed in the renormalization procedure, one such contribution is left in the expression for the pion decay constant. This arbitrariness is eliminated by chiral symmetry.

Chiral Partner

Chiral symmetry represents a fundamental concept lying at the core of particle and nuclear physics. Its spontaneous breaking in vacuum can be exploited to distinguish chiral hadronic partners, whose masses differ. In fact, the features of this breaking serve as guiding principles for the construction of effective approaches of QCD at low energies, e.g., the chiral perturbation theory, the linear sigma model, the (Polyakov)–Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model, etc. At high temperatures/densities chiral symmetry can be restored bringing the chiral partners to be nearly degenerated in mass. At vanishing baryochemical potential, such restoration follows a smooth transition, and the chiral companions reach this degeneration above the transition temperature. In this work I review how different realizations of chiral partner degeneracy arise in different effective theories/models of QCD. I distinguish the cases where the chiral states are either fundamental degrees of freedom or (dynamically-generated) composed states. In particular, I discuss the intriguing case in which chiral symmetry restoration involves more than two chiral partners, recently addressed in the literature.
