Thermodynamic Geometry and Deconfinement Temperature

Nuclear Theory 2020-12-16 v4

Abstract

The application of Riemannian geometry to the analysis of the equilibrium thermodynamics in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and baryon density gives a new method to evaluate the critical temperature, TcT_c, of the deconfinement transition. In the confined phase, described by the thermodynamic geometry of the Hadron Resonance Gas, the estimate of TcT_c turns out completely consistent with lattice QCD simulations of the quark-gluon plasma phase if the hadron excluded volume and the interaction effects are taken into account.
