Chiral Mirror-Baryon-Meson Model and Nuclear Matter beyond Mean-Field
read the original abstract
We consider a chiral baryon-meson model for nucleons and their parity partners in mirror assignment interacting with pions, sigma and omega mesons to describe the liquid-gas transition of nuclear matter together with chiral symmetry restoration in the high density phase. Within the mean-field approximation the model is known to provide a phenomenologically successful description of the nuclear-matter transition. Here, we go beyond this approximation and include mesonic fluctuations by means of the functional renormalization group. While these fluctuations do not lead to major qualitative changes in the phase diagram of the model, beyond mean-field, one is no-longer free to adjust the parameters so as to reproduce the binding energy per nucleon, the nuclear saturation density, and the nucleon sigma term all at the same time. However, the prediction of a clear first-order chiral transition at low temperatures inside the high baryon-density phase appears to be robust.

Kinetic Mixing and Axial Charges in the Parity-Doublet Model
Kinetic mixing terms are introduced in the parity-doublet model to reproduce the empirical axial charge g_A ≈ 1.28 of the nucleon along with masses of the nucleon and N*(1535).
