The four-fermi model with continuous chiral symmetry is studied in three dimensions at non-zero chemical potential $\mu$ using both the $1/N_f$ expansion and computer simulations. For strong coupling this model spontaneously breaks its U(1)…
Convergence properties of Taylor expansions of observables, which are also used in lattice QCD calculations at non-zero chemical potential, are analyzed in an effective N_f = 2+1 flavor Polyakov-quark-meson model. A recently developed…
Monte Carlo simulations of finite density systems are often plagued by the complex action problem. We point out that there exists certain non-commutativity in the zero chemical potential limit and the thermodynamic limit when one tries to…
