Conclusions and outlook

Bad Honnef, February 2017 | Understanding the LHC | Marc Leonhardt 16

• Dynamically locking of the chiral phase transition to the deconfinement phase transition, even at small quark chemical potential

• The phase diagram and the curvature of the phase boundary is very sensitive to the initial UV value

• Adjusted to low-energy observables and at finite current quark masses the physical point is located inside the locking window, suggesting a dominance of the confining dynamics

• Outlook: Inclusion of dynamical gauge fields and back reaction of the matter sector on the gauge sector

can be traced back to the deformation of the fermionicfixed-point structure in the presence of gauge dynamics.

To obtain the numerical results in Fig. 2, we have em-ployed data for hA0i(T ) as obtained from an RG studyof the associated order parameter potential for SU(2)and SU(3) Yang-Mills theory [33, 70]. However, wedid not take into account the back-reaction of the mat-ter fields on the order parameter potential associatedwith hA0i. In the case of fundamental matter, we expectthat this back-reaction will shrink the size of the lockingwindow since it further increases the quantity PF(T ) atlow temperatures. For adjoint quarks, the back-reactionwill also increase PA(T ). Nevertheless, it may remainnegative over a wide range of temperatures. Thereforewe may still have T

> Td for all values of �UV

/�

> 1,at least for N = 2.

Let us add a word of caution on the treatment of thequantity trRLR[hA0i] in standard PNJL/PQM model ap-proaches. In these studies, one relies on the assumptionthat trRLR[hA0i] = htrRLR[A0]i. For htrRLR[A0]i, onethen uses lattice data as input. Whereas such an ap-proach would lead to similar conclusions for fundamentalquarks (htrFLF[A0]i � 0 and trFLF[hA0i] � 0), the sit-uation is di↵erent for adjoint quarks. In the latter case,we have htrALA[A0]i > 0 but trALA[hA0i] can assumeboth positive and negative values as discussed above.

Before we now enter the discussion of the RG flows ofthe partially bosonized formulation of the matter sector,we would like to comment on the number of parametersin our study. Up to this point, our discussion suggeststhat our study only relies on a single parameter in thematter sector apart from the UV cuto↵ ⇤, namely on theinitial value �

UV

. Strictly speaking, however, the non-trivial fixed-point of the four-fermion interaction is anartifact of our point-like approximation. With the aid

of the partially bosonized formulation, we will resolvepart of the momentum dependence of the four-fermioninteraction. We will then find that the matter sectordepends on three parameters: the Yukawa coupling h,the bosonic mass parameter m and the UV cuto↵ ⇤,see Eq. (23). This is a substantial di↵erence to, e. g.,fermion models in d < 4 space-time dimensions, wherewe only have a single parameter in both formulations, seee. g. Ref. [105]. There, the non-trivial fixed-point of thefour-fermion coupling can be mapped onto a correspond-ing non-trivial fixed-point in the plane spanned by therenormalized Yukawa coupling h and the dimensionlessrenormalized bosonic mass parameter m. In our case, therole of the non-trivial fixed-point in the purely fermionicformulation is taken over by a separatrix in the (h2

,m

2)-plane in the partially bosonized formulation. The shiftof the non-trivial fixed-point of the four-fermion couplingdue to the gauge dynamics then turns into a correspond-ing shift of this separatrix. The mapping between the twoformulations is discussed in detail in the subsequent sec-tion. Being aware of this subtlety, the discussion of thefermionic fixed-point structure is still useful and nicelyillustrates the mechanism underlying the interplay of thechiral and the deconfinement phase transition.

IV. PARTIAL BOSONIZATION AND THELARGE-d(R) EXPANSION

in Sect. II B, the mass parameter m

2 assumes negativevalues in the regime with broken chiral symmetry in theground state and the vacuum expectation value h�i ⌘ �0

becomes finite. It is therefore convenient to study the RGflow of �0 and �� rather than that of m2 and ��. Theflow equation of �0 can be obtained from the stationarycondition:

where �20 = k

In the following we will identify the pion decay con-

stant f⇡

with Z

meson masses are given by

Since we are working in the large-d(R) limit in this sec-tion, the latter do not appear explicitly on the right sideof the flow equations.Recall that the scale for mq and m

is set by thesymmetry breaking scale kSB which is set by our choicefor h2

⇤/m2⇤. The role of the Yukawa coupling (as an ad-

ditional parameter) becomes now apparent from the re-lation

m

2�

which follows from the flow equations of the couplings.Since the flow of the Yukawa coupling is not governedby the presence of a non-trivial IR attractive fixed-point,its value depends on kSB and the initial value h⇤, asdiscussed above. Therefore the ratio m

2�

/m

2q depends on

our choice for h⇤. On the other hand, the initial valueof the coupling �� does not represent a free parameterof the theory. It is set to zero at k = ⇤ and thereforegenerated dynamically in the RG flow, see also Eq. (23).Using the flow equations (40)-(44) and (50)-(54), we

can now proceed and compute the phase diagram in theplane spanned by the temperature and the value of thepion decay constant at T = 0. In Fig. 5 (left panel) weshow our results for quarks in the fundamental represen-tation and N = 3. For adjoint matter and N = 2, ourresults can be found in the right panel of Fig. 5. To ob-tain these results, we have used ⇤ = 1GeV. Moreover,we have again employed the data for the ground-statevalues of hA0i as obtained from a RG study of SU(N)Yang-Mills theories [33, 70].In the case of fundamental matter and N = 3, we ob-

serve that the upper end of the locking window (Td ⇡ T

)roughly coincides with the physical value of the piondecay constant, provided that we fix the initial condi-tion of the Yukawa coupling such that mq ⇡ 300MeV
