Lee Yang edge singularities of QCD in association with Roberge-Weiss phase transition and chiral phase transition (2504.12964v1)

Published 17 Apr 2025 in hep-ph, hep-th, and nucl-th

Abstract: We study the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase transitions in the complex chemical potential plane in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equation approach, in the presence of a constant gluonic background field that represents confining dynamics. We solve the quark gap equation and the background field equation self consistently, which allows us to directly explore the confinement phase transition and furthermore, evaluate the impact of the back-coupling of confinement on chiral symmetry breaking. Moreover, within such a coupled framework towards the complex chemical potential region, we demonstrate the emergence of Roberge-Weiss (RW) symmetry and investigate the trajectory of Lee-Yang edge singularities (LYES). Our analysis reveals that the LYES scaling behavior is similar to our previous findings without the background field condensate. However, a significant difference from our earlier work is that the trajectory of LYES terminates when the imaginary part of the singularity becomes $1/3 \, \pi T$. We elaborate that this cut-off behavior is caused by the RW symmetry that is symmetric to the imaginary chemical potential $\mu_i=1/3 \, \pi T$.
