    Exponential Resummation of QCD at Finite Chemical Potential

    No full text
    A comprehensive study of the QCD phase diagram is one of the challenging and open problems in high energy physics. Having significant astrophysical implications, this is also important in constructing the chronological evolution of the universe. With this aim, this thesis describes the behaviour of thermodynamic observables like pressure and number density with changing chemical potential µ, through the method of an unbiased exponential resummation of lower order Taylor series of these observables at a finite µ. We address the problem of biased estimates, which manifest uncontrollably in exponential resummation and which become severe in the domain of large values, higher orders of µ and also in observables which are higher µ derivatives of the thermodynamic potential. We show that our new formalism of unbiased exponential resummation can eliminate these biased estimates exactly upto a given order of µ, and can capture important contributions of higher order Taylor series for all our working temperatures starting from hadronic phase to the plasma phase, including the crossover region. We also demonstrate that this new formalism is highly efficient in saving appreciable computational time and storage space for computations

    A Comparative Analysis between Unbiased Exponential Resummation and Taylor Expansion in Finite-Density QCD with a new phasefactor for Isospin

    The recently introduced unbiased exponential resummation at finite chemical potential has become an important approach which promises to capture reliably the behaviour of higher order conserved charge cumulants appearing otherwise in the finite-density QCD Taylor series of thermodynamic observables. In this paper, we present a thorough analysis of the estimates of charge cumulants upto eighth order and have compared them using Taylor expansion method and unbiased exponential resummation approach for baryon and isospin chemical potentials. We also subsequently compare the different estimates of the radius of convergence obtained using these two methods and check if the zeros of phasefactor for baryochemical potential can indicate something about these estimated values. We propose a new method of finding a non-trivial phasefactor for isospin chemical potential and we attempt explaining the different estimates of radius of convergence from the zeroes of this newly constructed gauge-ensemble average phasefactor for isospin chemical potential. Lastly, we also illustrate kurtosis plots describing the behaviour of overlap problem in isospin chemical potential and check if it maintains consistency with the appearance of zeros of the newly proposed phasefactor.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figures; Plots revised, 1 extra figure added, the sections of results and conclusions have been revise

    Determination of Lattice QCD Equation of state at a finite chemical potential

    Full text link
    Exponential resummation to all orders in μB\mu_B is a promising scheme which can capture contributions to all orders in μB\mu_B by considering only the first few Taylor coefficients in the Taylor expansion of thermodynamic observables in lattice QCD. This approach however, gets affected by biased estimates of nn-point correlation functions DnD_n whose effects can significantly hinder probe of finite density QCD. We present an unbiased exponential resummation formalism, which can reproduce the Taylor series up to the desired order in μB\mu_B, besides retaining the original form of the all-order resummation estimate of QCD partition function.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, Contribution to 25th DAE BRNS Symposium 12-16 December 202

    QCD equation of state at finite chemical potential from unbiased exponential resummation of the lattice QCD Taylor series

    Full text link
    Exponential resummation of the QCD finite-density Taylor series has been recently introduced as an alternative way of resumming the finite-density lattice QCD Taylor series. Unfortunately the usual exponential resummation formula suffers from stochastic bias which must be subtracted before identifying genuine higher-order contributions. In this paper, we present a new way of subtracting the stochastic bias at the level of each individual gauge configuration, up to a certain order of either the Taylor series or the cumulant expansion, by modifying the argument of the exponential. Retaining the exponential form of the resummation allows us to also calculate the phase factor of the fermion determinant on each gauge configuration. We present our results for the excess pressure, number density, and the average phase factor and show that the new results contain less stochastic bias and are in better agreement with the QCD Taylor series compared to the previous exponential resummation.Comment: 11 pages, 17 figure

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
