The influence of fluctuations on thermodynamics near chiral phase transition

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-03-10 v1

Abstract

We discuss the influence of fluctuations on thermodynamics near the chiral phase transition within Polyakov loop extended quark--meson model based on the functional renormalization group (FRG) method. We include the gluon fields in the FRG flow equation self-consistently on the mean-field level. We focus on the properties of the phase diagram and net-baryon number fluctuations.
