We discuss the thermal phase structure of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at zero real chemical potential (μR=0) from the viewpoint of canonical sectors. The canonical sectors take the system to pieces of each elementary excitation mode and thus seem to be useful in the investigation of the confinement–deconfinement nature of QCD. Since the canonical sectors themselves are difficult to compute, we propose a convenient quantity which may determine the structural changes of the canonical sectors. We discuss the quantity qualitatively by adopting lattice QCD prediction for the phase structure with finite imaginary chemical potential. In addition, we numerically estimate this quantity by using the simple QCD effective model. It is shown that there should be a sharp change of the canonical sectors near the Roberge–Weiss endpoint temperature at μR=0. Then, the behavior of the quark number density at finite imaginary chemical potential plays a crucial role in clarifying the thermal QCD properties.

In this review, we present of an overview of several interesting properties of QCD at finite imaginary chemical potential and those applications to exploring the QCD phase diagram. The most important properties of QCD at a finite imaginary chemical potential are the Roberge–Weiss periodicity and the transition. We summarize how these properties play a crucial role in understanding QCD properties at finite temperature and density. This review covers several topics in the investigation of the QCD phase diagram based on the imaginary chemical potential.

The SU(3) Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM) in mean-field approximation is utilized in analyzing the chiral condensates [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the deconfinement order parameters [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], at finite isospin asymmetry. The bulk thermodynamics including pressure density, interaction measure, susceptibility and second-order correlations with baryon, strange and electric charge quantum numbers are studied in thermal and dense medium. The PLSM results are confronted to the available lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations. The excellent agreement obtained strengthens the reliability of fixing the PLSM parameters and therefore supports further predictions even beyond the scope of the lattice QCD numerical applicability. From the QCD phase structure at finite isospin chemical potential [Formula: see text], we find that the pseudocritical temperatures decrease with the increase in [Formula: see text]. We conclude that the QCD phase structure in [Formula: see text] plane seems to extend the one in [Formula: see text] plane.

We study the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) of three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED3) at finite chemical potential and temperature in the framework of Dyson–Schwinger approach. Based on the rainbow approximation and assumption that the wave-function renormalization factor equals to one, the dynamically generated mass function is derived and then the corresponding phase diagram in the (T, μ) plane is obtained.

We report the equation of state at finite chemical potential, namely the baryon number density and the baryonic contribution to the pressure, using a resummation of the Taylor expansion. We also report the freezeout conditions for a measure of fluctuations. We examine the major sources of systematic and statistical errors in all of these measurements.

We simulate lattice QCD at finite quark-number chemical potential to study nuclear matter, using the complex Langevin equation (CLE). The CLE is used because the fermion determinant is complex so that standard methods relying on importance sampling fail. Adaptive methods and gauge-cooling are used to prevent runaway solutions. Even then, the CLE is not guaranteed to give correct results. We are therefore performing extensive testing to determine under what, if any, conditions we can achieve reliable results. Our earlier simulations at β = 6/g2 = 5.6, m = 0.025 on a 124 lattice reproduced the expected phase structure but failed in the details. Our current simulations at β = 5.7 on a 164 lattice fail in similar ways while showing some improvement. We are therefore moving to even weaker couplings to see if the CLE might produce the correct results in the continuum (weak-coupling) limit, or, if it still fails, whether it might reproduce the results of the phase-quenched theory. We also discuss action (and other dynamics) modifications which might improve the performance of the CLE.

An extended NJL model with [Formula: see text] and (qq)-interactions is studied at finite temperature and baryon number density. We investigate the chiral symmetry breaking, its restoration and the behavior of meson and diquark masses, decay and coupling constants as functions of T and µ.

This article focuses on chiral random matrix theories with the global symmetries of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In particular, it explains how random matrix theory (RMT) can be applied to the spectra of the Dirac operator both at zero chemical potential, when the Dirac operator is Hermitian, and at non-zero chemical potential, when the Dirac operator is non-Hermitian. Before discussing the spectra of these Dirac operators at non-zero chemical potential, the article considers spontaneous symmetry breaking in RMT and the QCD partition function. It then examines the global symmetries of QCD, taking into account the Dirac operator for a finite chiral basis, as well as the global symmetry breaking pattern and the Goldstone manifold in chiral random matrix theory (chRMT). It also describes the generating function for the Dirac spectrum and applications of chRMT to QCD to gauge degrees of freedom.

We illustrate the phase structure of a deformed two-dimensional Gross–Neveu model which is defined by undeformed field contents plus deformed Pauli matrices. This deformation is based on two motives to find a more general polymer model and to estimate how q-deformed field theory affects on its effective potential. Some regions where chiral symmetry breaking and restoration take place repeatedly as temperature increasing are found.
