In the limit of a large number of colors, N_c, we suggest that gauge theories can exhibit several distinct phases at nonzero temperature and quark density. Two are familiar: a cold, dilute phase of confined hadrons, where the pressure is ~…

Chiral restoration at finite temperatures is studied in chiral quark models with non-local regulators. At the leading-N_c level we find transition temperatures of the order of 100MeV. Meson-loop contributions are also analyzed and found to…
In this thesis work we have employed two microscopic models (ladder-QCD and Nambu-Jona-Lasinio) for describing the properties of the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and quark densities. In particular, we have studied the mechanism…
