π介子气体的1/N展开O(N)模型热力学

Thermodynamics of the pion gas using the O(N) model in 1/N expansion

Tomas Brauner

摘要:

我们在O(N)模型下研究了π介子气体在1/N展开下的热力学性质。使用辅助场技术,我们计算的有效势的下一个领先的顺序(NLO),并表明它可以重整化的温度无关的方式。计算一致性的关键步骤是在重整化之前消除辅助场。随后,我们解决了NLO间隙方程的手征凝聚体作为温度的函数,在手征极限和明确的对称性破缺。我们提出了一个简单的半解析估计的非线性光学修正的凝聚体,并比较它的精确数值解。最后,我们证明了在手征极限下,手征对称性在有限温度下通过二级相变恢复,并确定了序参量的临界标度。我们研究了重正化耦合对临界温度的依赖性,发现与弱耦合极限相比,强耦合下的临界温度在非线性光学下增加。

英文摘要:

We investigate the thermodynamics of a pion gas within the O(N) model in the 1/N expansion. Using the auxiliary field technique, we compute the effective potential up to the next-to-leading order (NLO) and show that it can be renormalized in a temperature-independent manner. The crucial step for the consistency of the calculation turns out to be the elimination of the auxiliary field prior to renormalization. Subsequently, we solve the NLO gap equation for the chiral condensate as a function of temperature both in the chiral limit and with explicit symmetry breaking. We propose a simple semi-analytic estimate of the NLO correction to the condensate and compare it to the exact numerical solution. Finally, we show that in the chiral limit the chiral symmetry is restored at finite temperature by a second-order phase transition, and determine the critical scaling of the order parameter. We study the dependence of the critical temperature on the renormalized coupling and find that in contrast to the weak-coupling limit, at strong coupling the critical temperature increases at NLO.
