Utilizing in-medium vector spectral functions which describe dilepton data in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of QCD and Weinberg sum rules at finite temperature. The starting point is our…

We present an analysis of four sum rules, each based on chiral symmetry and containing the difference $\rho_{\rm V}(s) - \rho_{\rm A}(s)$ of isovector vector and axialvector spectral functions. Experimental data from tau lepton decay and…

We analyze QCD and Weinberg-type sum rules in a low-temperature pion gas using vector and axial-vector spectral functions following from the model-independent chiral-mixing scheme. Toward this end we employ recently constructed vacuum…

We simultaneously analyze vector and axial-vector spectral functions in vacuum using hadronic models constrained by experimental data and the requirement that Weinberg-type sum rules are satisfied. Upon explicit inclusion of an excited…

Finite energy sum rules for vector and axial-vector currents are derived in a thermal medium to provide constraints for the spectral behavior of rho and a1 mesons at nonvanishing temperature and hence to study the tendency toward chiral…

We report on recent work relating the medium effects observed in dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions to potential signals of chiral symmetry restoration. The key connection remains the approach to spectral function degeneracy between…

The hadronic mechanism which leads to chiral symmetry restoration is explored in the context of the rho-pi-a_1 system using Massive Yang-Mills, a hadronic effective theory which governs their microscopic interactions. In this approach,…

We consider sum rules of the Weinberg type at zero and nonzero temperatures. On the basis of the operator product expansion at zero temperature we obtain a new sum rule which involves the average of a four-quark operator on one side and…

An updated analysis of vector and axial-vector spectral functions is presented. The resonant contributions to the spectral integrals are shown to be expressible as multiples of 4 pi^2 f_pi^2, encoding the scale of spontaneous chiral…

The saturation of the two Weinberg sum rules is studied at finite temperature, using recent independent QCD sum rule results for the thermal behaviour of hadronic parameters in the vector and axial-vector channels. Both sum rules are very…

The light-quark correlator in the axial-vector channel is used, in conjunction with finite energy QCD sum rules at finite temperature, in order to (a) establish a relation between chiral-symmetry restoration and deconfinement, and (b)…

Recent developments in the evaluation of vector-meson spectral functions in hot and dense matter are discussed with emphasis on connections to the chiral phase transition in QCD. Model independent approaches including chiral low-density…

In this article we study restoration of chiral symmetry at finite temperature for quark matter with a chiral chemical potential, $\mu_5$, by means of a quark-meson model with vacuum fluctuations included. Vacuum fluctuations give a…

In this work we present first results on vector and axial-vector meson spectral functions as obtained by applying the non-perturbative functional renormalization group approach to an effective low-energy theory motivated by the gauged…

Exact sum rules for the longitudinal and transverse part of the vector channel spectral functions at nonzero momentum are derived in the first part of the paper. The sum rules are formulated for the finite temperature spectral functions,…

QCD sum rules are based on the Operator Product Expansion of current correlators, and on QCD-hadron duality. An extension of this program to finite temperature is discussed. This allows for a study of deconfinement and chiral-symmetry…

We explore the conditions for chiral symmetry breaking in reduced (or pseudo) quantum electrodynamics at finite temperature in connection with graphene and other 2D-materials with an underlying Dirac behavior of the charge carriers. By…

A set of well known chiral sum rules, expected to be valid in QCD, is confronted with experimental data on the vector and axial-vector hadronic spectral functions, obtained from tau-lepton decay by the ALEPH collaboration. The…

A combination of finite energy sum rule techniques and Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) is used in order to exploit recent ALEPH data on the non-strange tau vector (V) and axial-vector (A) spectral functions with respect to an experimental…

Based on QCD sum rules we explore the consequences of a pure chiral restoration scenario for the rho meson, where all chiral symmetry breaking condensates are dropped whereas the chirally symmetric condensates remain at their vacuum values.…
