abstract

It has been suggested previously that an ultra-soft fermionic excitation develops, albeit with a small spectral weight, in a system of massless fermions and scalar bosons with Yukawa interaction at high temperature ($T$). In this paper we study how this excitation is modified at finite chemical potential ($\mu$). We relate the existence of the ultra-soft mode to symmetries, in particular charge conjugation, and a supersymmetry of the free system which is spontaneously broken by finite temperature and finite density effects, as argued earlier by Lebedev and Smilga. A non vanishing chemical potential breaks both symmetries explicitly, and maximally at zero temperature where the mode ceases to exist. A detailed calculation indicates that the ultra-soft excitation persists as long as $T\gtrsim \mu$.

Spectral sum rules and phase transition in strongly coupled QCD

hep-th · 2024-12-28 · conditional · novelty 7.0

In the Gribov-Zwanziger framework, the thermal quark spectral function obeys new sum rules and exhibits a coupling-driven transition from three poles to a single pole, with the thermal mass vanishing at a critical coupling g* roughly 4.56.
