AbstractWe extend a previous work on the study of heavy charmonia and bottomonia in a deconfined quark-gluon plasma by considering the B c family of mesons. With the introduction of this bound state of a charm and a beauty quark, we investigate at finite temperature the behavior of the quarkonium, in an energy region between the ψ and the Y states.

AbstractAnalytical results for the spatial dependence of the correlation functions for all meson excitations in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics, the lowest order, are calculated. The meson screening mass is obtained as a large distance limit of the correlation function. Our analysis leads to a better understanding of the excitations of Quark Gluon Plasma at sufficiently large temperatures and may be of relevance for future numerical calculations with fully interacting Quantum Chromodynamics.

We construct plasmon creation and annihilation operators for Yang–Mills theory at finite temperature. This provides a starting point for perturbation theory with resummation of hard thermal loops in a Hamiltonian framework.

TheN-radial Schrödinger equation is analytically solved at finite temperature. The analytic exact iteration method (AEIM) is employed to obtain the energy eigenvalues and wave functions for all statesnandl. The application of present results to the calculation of charmonium and bottomonium masses at finite temperature is also presented. The behavior of the charmonium and bottomonium masses is in qualitative agreement with other theoretical methods. We conclude that the solution of the Schrödinger equation plays an important role at finite temperature that the analysis of the quarkonium states gives a key input to quark-gluon plasma diagnostics.

The Fermi excitations in hot and dense quark–gluon plasma are studied in the Feynman gauge using the temperature Green function technique. We find four well-separated spectrum branches for all |q| in the case m=0 and establish the additional splitting between them (four different effective masses) when m≠0. The long wavelength limit of these excitations is found in the general case of the massive fermions at finite temperature and baryon densities to give the exact one-loop spectrum. This spectrum exhibits many known results as its different limits.

We use the gauge/gravity duality to investigate various properties of strongly coupled gauge theories, which we interpret as models for the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). In particular, we use variants of the D3/D7 setup as an implementation of the top-down approach of connecting string theory with phenomenologically relevant gauge theories. We focus on the effects of finite temperature and finite density on fundamental matter in the holographic quark-gluon plasma, which we model as theN=2hypermultiplet in addition to theN=4gauge multiplet of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We use a setup in which we can describe the holographic plasma at finite temperature and either baryon or isospin density and investigate the properties of the system from three different viewpoints. (i) We study meson spectra. Our observations at finite temperature and particle density are in qualitative agreement with phenomenological models and experimental observations. They agree with previous publications in the according limits. (ii) We study the temperature and density dependence of transport properties of fundamental matter in the QGP. In particular, we obtain diffusion coefficients. Furthermore, in a kinetic model we estimate the effects of the coupling strength on meson diffusion and therewith equilibration processes in the QGP. (iii) We observe the effects of finite temperature and density on the phase structure of fundamental matter in the holographic QGP. We trace out the phase transition lines of different phases in the phase diagram.

We consider thermodynamic properties of a quark–gluon plasma related to quasiparticles having the internal structure. For this purpose, we employ a possible analogy between quantum chromodynamics and non-Abelian Proca-Dirac-Higgs theory. The influence of characteristic sizes of the quasiparticles on such thermodynamic properties of the quark–gluon plasma like the internal energy and pressure is studied. Sizes of the quasiparticles are taken into account in the spirit of the van der Waals equation but we take into consideration that the quasiparticles have different sizes, and the average value of these sizes depends on temperature. It is shown that this results in a change in the internal energy and pressure of the quark–gluon plasma. Also, we show that, when the temperature increases, the average value of characteristic sizes of the quasiparticles increases as well. This leads to the occurrence of a phase transition at the temperature at which the volume occupied by the quasiparticles is compared with the volume occupied by the plasma.

The numerical simulation of quantum chromodynamics on a space–time lattice allows for the calculation of many properties of hadronic matter at high temperature in a direct and in a nonperturbative fashion. This paper will be a review of the calculation techniques and results published in the past 5 years. Among other things, I will discuss the order of the phase transition, the critical temperature, the force between heavy quarks, as well as the thermodynamics and the spectroscopy of the quark–gluon plasma.
