We simulate lattice QCD with dynamical $u$ and $d$ quarks at finite chemical potential, $\mu_I$, for the third component of isospin ($I_3$), at both zero and at finite temperature. At zero temperature there is some $\mu_I$, $\mu_c$ say,…
We determine the QCD equation of state at nonzero temperature in the presence of an isospin asymmetry between the light quark chemical potentials on the lattice. Our simulations employ $N_f=2+1$ flavors of dynamical staggered quarks at…
We present predictions for the zero-temperature equation of state at finite isospin density using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model within the medium separation scheme (MSS) -- a scheme that explicitly disentangles medium effects from the…
We study the features of low energy strong interactions for a system at zero temperature and finite baryon and isospin chemical potentials, in the framework of a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio-like model that includes nonlocal four-point interactions.…
We use the two-flavor linear sigma model with quarks to study the phase structure of isospin asymmetric matter at zero temperature. The meson degrees of freedom provide the mean field chiral- and isospin-condensates on top of which we…
We use an effective QCD model (ladder-QCD) to explore the phase diagram for chiral symmetry breaking and restoration at finite temperature with different $u,d$ quark chemical potentials. In agreement with a recent investigation based on the…
We simulate lattice QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) at zero and finite temperatures. At some $\mu_I=\mu_c$ QCD has a second order transition with mean-field critical exponents to a state where ($I_3$) is…
We analyze the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model which is a chiral effective model of QCD by using the non-perturbative renormalization group at finite temperature and finite density. We discuss the chiral phase diagram in the model. We include the…
We have simulated QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) to probe part of the phase diagram for nuclear matter. Preliminary results suggest that for $\mu_I > \mu_c$, this theory forms a charged pion condensate which…
We derive a non-local Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model from QCD with a form factor exactly obtained in the infrared limit. With this model, having all the parameters properly fixed through those of QCD, we consider the case of finite temperature…
