Lefschetz thimbles regularisation of (lattice) field theories was put forward as a possible solution to the sign problem. Despite elegant and conceptually simple, it has many subtleties. Two major ones have to do with most relevant issues: how can one efficiently implement importance sampling on thimbles? how many thimbles should we take into account? As for the first question, since a few years w ... More

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 theo ... More

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 lower ... More

In relativistic heavy ion collisions (HIC), not only a strong magnetic field but also strong vorticity could be generated. Recent observations of the polarization of Lambda hyperons have triggered intensive studies for vorticity-induced polarization and spin dynamics in relativistic fluids. However, more recent studies suggest that the spin polarization could be possibly led by non-equilibrium eff ... More

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 hydrodyn ...

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 experiments. T ... More

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 simula ... More

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. It ... More

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 topol ... More

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 propag ... More

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 fundamen ... More

Monte Carlo studies of finite density QCD is difficult due to the notorious sign problem. As a promising approach that can avoid this problem, the complex Langevin method has been attracting attention. In particular, a practical criterion for correct convergence has been proposed, and it is found to be satisfied in certain parameter regions of finite density QCD.

We investigate the QCD phase diagram close to the isospin chemical potential axis. Numerical simulations directly along this axis are not hindered by the sign problem and pion condensation can be observed at high enough values of the isospin chemical potential. The possibility of a crossover transition from this BEC phase to a BCS phase is investigated. We study how the BEC phase boundary evolves ... More

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 metho ... More

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 to ...

To avoid this problem, we have proposed the path optimization method. In this method, we optimize the integral path in complex plain to decrease the cancellation in integral. In this talk, we explain the application of this meth ...

We derive a relation between the self-energy term and Euclidean electric field correlators along a Polyakov line, which can directly be studied on the lattice without the need for analytical continuatio ...

I report on results of the energy momentum tensor and chiral condensate obtained so far from our on-going simulations at the physical point. Presented by Prof. Kazuyuki KANAYA on 24 Jun 2019 at 17:00 Type: Poster Session: Poster session Board #: 11 We study the chemical potential$(\mu)$dependence of the topological susceptibility with two-color two-flavor QCD. We find that at temperature$T \sim T_c/2$, where Tc denotes the critical temperature at zero chemical potential, the topological susceptibility is almost constant until$\mu/m_{PS}=1.6$, while at$T \sim T_c$, it decreases significantly from the$\mu=0$value in a high$\mu$regime. ...

After determining the characteristic scales$\tau_{\tiny KZ}$and$l_{\tiny KZ}$and properly rescaling the traditional correlation function and cumulant, we construct universal functions for both the two-point correlation function$C(y_1-y_2;\tau)$and second-order cumulant$K(\Delt ...
