We study the phase diagram of quark matter at finite temperature (T) and finite chemical potential (mu) in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD for color SU(3). We derive an analytical expression of the effective free energy as a function of T and mu, including baryon effects. The finite temperature effects are evaluated by integrating over the temporal link variable exactly in the Polyakov gauge with anti-periodic boundary condition for fermions. The obtained phase diagram shows the first order phase transition at low temperatures and the second order phase transition at high temperatures separated by the tri-critical point in the chiral limit. Baryon has effects to reduce the effective free energy and to extend the hadron phase to a larger mu direction at low temperatures.

  1. The canonical approach at high temperature revisited

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The paradox in the canonical approach at high temperature with the Roberge-Weiss transition originates from infinite-size effects and vanishes in finite-size systems due to smearing, validating the approach for lattice QCD.
