Chiral Symmetry Restoration and the Georgi Vector Limit

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The chiral phase transition at high temperature and/or density is interpreted in terms of Georgi's vector limit. We discuss three cases as possible support for this scenario: Quark-number susceptibility, cool kaons in heavy-ion process and an instanton-molecule picture for chiral restoration. Both the notion of ``mended symmetry" and the Georgi vector limit are suggested to be relevant in nuclear physics of dense matter.
