Abstract

The Friedberg-Lee model is studied at finite temperature and density. By using the finite temperature field theory, the effective potential of the Friedberg-Lee model and the bag constant B(T)B(T) and B(T,μ)B(T,\mu) have been calculated at different temperatures and densities. It is shown that there is a critical temperature TC106.6MeVT_{C}\simeq 106.6 \mathrm{MeV} when μ=0MeV\mu=0 \mathrm{MeV} and a critical chemical potential μ223.1MeV\mu \simeq 223.1 \mathrm{MeV} for fixing the temperature at T=50MeVT=50 \mathrm{MeV}. We also calculate the soliton solutions of the Friedberg-Lee model at finite temperature and density. It turns out that when TTCT\leq T_{C} (or μμC\mu \leq \mu_C), there is a bag constant B(T)B(T) (or B(T,μ)B(T,\mu)) and the soliton solutions are stable. However, when T>TCT>T_{C} (or μ>μC\mu>\mu_C) the bag constant B(T)=0MeVB(T)=0 \mathrm{MeV} (or B(T,μ)=0MeVB(T,\mu)=0 \mathrm{MeV}) and there is no soliton solution anymore, therefore, the confinement of quarks disappears quickly.
