The Casimir effect is relevant for QCD physics in many contexts such as a possible origin of the dark energy, an extra pressure in the hadron bag model etc. In this talk we delve into the Casimir effect in (3+1)-dimensional Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) theory aka axion electrodynamics. It is known that two bodies with reflection symmetry always have an attractive Casimir force, but this ``no-go...

The complex Langevin method (CLM) is a promising approach to overcome the sign problem. Here we examine its applicability to QCD at finite density on a $24^3 \times 12$ lattice with four-flavor staggered fermions around the deconfinement phase transition line in the $(T-\mu)$-plane. While the CLM actually works at quite large values of $\mu$, it fails in the confined phase, which appears at...

Starting from a running-coupling improved $k_T$-factorized formula of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) framework, we calculate bulk observables in several heavy-ion collision systems. This is done in two ways: first the particle distribution is calculated directly as implied from the CGC model, and then it is compared to the case where it is instead used as initial conditions for a hybrid...

The existence of monopoles has been theoretically predicted since P. A. M. Dirac introduced the magnetic monopole in quantum mechanics. Moreover, a large number of experiments to observe monopoles have been conducted. However, monopoles have not been detected yet. The purpose of this research is to find a clue to observe QCD monopoles which closely relate to the color confinement by...

We study the phase transition of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and density by focusing on the probability distribution function of quark density. The phase transition of QCD is expected to change its properties as the density changes, and the probability distribution function gives important information for understanding the nature of the phase transition. The numerical...

Many-body systems with chiral fermions exhibit anomalous transport phenomena originated from quantum anomalies. Based on quantum field theory, we derive the kinetic theory for chiral fermions interacting with an external electromagnetic field and a background curved geometry. The resultant framework respects the covariance under the U(1) gauge, local Lorentz, and diffeomorphic transformations....

We study anomaly-induced effects on dense QCD matter under rotation. We show that the chiral perturbation theory under rotation has the topological term that accounts for the chiral vortical effect. We find that, due to the presence of this new term, the ground state of QCD under rotation is the chiral soliton lattice (CSL) for the neutral pion or η' meson. This state is a periodic array of...

The analytic structures of propagators have kinematic information and are important to understand the color confinement; in particular, the existence of complex poles is a signal of confinement for the corresponding particle. We derive general relationships between the number of complex poles of a propagator and the spectral function under some assumptions on the asymptotic behaviors of the...

Dual superconductor picture is one of the most promising scenarios for quark confinement. We have proposed a new formulation of Yang-Mills theory on the lattice so that the so-called restricted field obtained from the gauge-covariant decomposition plays the dominant role in quark confinement. This framework improves the Abelian projection in the gauge-independent manner. For quarks in the...

We investigate the QCD phase diagram close to the isospin chemical potential axis.

The possibility of a crossover transition from this BEC phase to a BCS phase is investigated. We study how the BEC phase boundary...

First-principles evaluation of the dense matter equation of state is one of the longstanding problems in QCD. Owing to the advances in neutron star observations in last decade, it is now possible to evaluate the equation of state from the observational data. As it circumvent the problems that are inherent in the theory, it may put significant constraint on the theory. Here we discuss a novel...

We study the Landau gauge gluon propagators in dense two-color QCD at quark chemical potential.

We couple quarks to this theory and...

We formulate lattice field theory with dislocation. The dislocation realizes the spacetime torsion in the continuum limit. As the first application, we perform the numerical computation to analyze the generation of the current induced by the screw dislocation, which we call the “chiral torsional effect”.

An $SU(3)$ spin model is often used in the literature as a first step to deal with QCD at finite chemical potential. It approximates full lattice QCD in the strong coupling and large fermion-mass limit. We describe a series expansion method called Linked Cluster Expansion (LCE), and how to apply it to the spin model. The results are series of several couplings, which we analyze by generalized...

Furthermore, we find that such a...

Lefschetz thimbles regularization is an elegant way to overcome the sign problem. By integrating over thimbles, where the imaginary part of the action stays constant and can be factored out, the sign problem disappears and observables of interest may be computed by Monte Carlo simulations. Still, many examples are known so far where the correct results can only be recovered by taking into...

We characterize this phase in terms of the Polyakov line phases and study examples of theories in which the partially deconfined phase exists. We find that this phase is closely related to the Gross-Witten-Wadia phase transition. The partially deconfined...

At high temperatures, the topological susceptibility of QCD becomes relevant for the properties of axion dark matter. However, the strong suppression of non-zero topological sectors causes ordinary sampling techniques to fail, since fluctuations of the topological charge can only be measured reliably if enough tunneling events between sectors occur. We present an improvement of a technique the...

We show that monopole quark interactions break flavor chiral SU(2) symmetry as well as
chiral U(1) symmetry. The interactions induce quark masses when the monopoles condense
even in the chiral limit (current quark masses vanish.) The masses are estimated to be
approximately 20MeV. Thus, the pions are not massless even in the chiral limit.
Furthermore, the presence of the interactions leads...

Quarkonium suppression in quark-gluon plasma has been investigated since original work by Matsui and Satz [1]. This topic remains actual due to the need of quark-gluon plasma diagnostics.

There has been recently an increasing interest for study of the chirality imbalance $n_5$, which is the difference between right- and left-handed fermions. The chirality imbalance is expected to be arised from the axial anomaly and plays a key role to understand anomalous transport phenomena in the hot/dense quark matter or the Dirac/Weyl semimetals under the magnetic field. One of interesting...
