Abstract

We study cold dense single-flavor $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ gauge theory in $(1+1)$ dimensions in the thermodynamic limit using a gauge-invariant variational uniform matrix product state ansatz. This formulation provides a sign-problem-free, first-principles approach to dense QCD. We show that, at finite baryon density, the infrared behavior is consistent with a Tomonaga--Luttinger liquid: the central charge is determined to be $c=1$, and the two-point function of the baryon-number density exhibits spatial modulation with the wavenumber predicted by Tomonaga--Luttinger liquid theory. The Luttinger parameter varies smoothly from $K\simeq 1$ in the dilute-baryon regime to $K\simeq 1/2$ at higher densities, suggesting a quarkyonic crossover. Furthermore, the quark distribution reveals the coexistence of a quark Fermi sea with a baryonic infrared description, thereby realizing the quarkyonic picture from first principles.

A bstract We study cold dense single-flavor SU(2) gauge theory in (1 + 1) dimensions in the thermodynamic limit using a gauge-invariant variational uniform matrix product state ansatz. This formulation provides a first-principles approach to dense QCD. We show that, at finite baryon density, the infrared behavior is consistent with a Tomonaga–Luttinger liquid: the central charge is determined to be c = 1, and the two-point function of the baryon-number density exhibits spatial modulation with the wavenumber predicted by Tomonaga–Luttinger liquid theory. The Luttinger parameter varies smoothly from K ≃ 1 in the dilute-baryon regime to K ≃ 1/2 at higher densities, suggesting a quarkyonic crossover. Furthermore, the quark momentum distribution reveals the coexistence of a quark Fermi sea with a baryonic infrared description, thereby realizing the quarkyonic picture from first principles.

Dense $\textrm{QCD}_2$ with matrix product states

Tomoya Hayata, Yoshimasa Hidaka, Kentaro Nishimura

We study one-flavor $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ and $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ lattice QCD in ($1+1$) dimensions at zero temperature and finite density using matrix product states and the density matrix renormalization group. We compute physical observables such as the equation of state, chiral condensate, and quark distribution function as functions of the baryon number density. As a physical implication, we discuss the inhomogeneous phase at nonzero baryon density, where the chiral condensate is inhomogeneous, and baryons form a crystal. We also discuss how the dynamical degrees of freedom change from hadrons to quarks through the formation of quark Fermi seas.

Simulating ( 2 + 1 ) D SU(2) Yang-Mills lattice gauge theory at finite density with tensor networks

Giovanni Cataldi, Giuseppe Magnifico, Pietro Silvi +1 more

We numerically simulate a non-Abelian lattice gauge theory in two spatial dimensions, with tensor networks (TN), up to intermediate sizes ( > 30 matter sites) well beyond exact diagonalization. We focus on the SU(2) Yang-Mills model in Hamiltonian formulation, with dynamical matter and minimally truncated gauge field (hardcore gluon). Thanks to the TN sign-problem-free approach, we characterize the phase diagram of the model at zero and finite baryon number as a function of the quark bare mass and color charge. At intermediate system sizes, we detect a liquid phase of quark-pair bound-state quasiparticles (baryons), whose mass is finite towards the continuum limit. Interesting phenomena arise at the transition boundary where color-electric and color-magnetic terms are maximally frustrated: For low quark masses, we see traces of potential deconfinement, while for high masses, signatures of a possible topological order.

Tensor network simulation of an SU(3) lattice gauge theory in 1D

Pietro Silvi, Yannick Sauer, Ferdinand Tschirsich +1 more

We perform a zero temperature analysis of a non-Abelian lattice gauge model corresponding to an SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in $1+1\mathrm{D}$ at low energies. Specifically, we characterize the model ground states via gauge-invariant matrix product states, identifying its phase diagram at finite density as a function of the matter-gauge interaction coupling, the quark filling, and their bare mass. Overall, we observe an extreme robustness of baryons: For positive free-field energy couplings, all detected phases exhibit colorless quasiparticles, a strong numerical hint that QCD does not deconfine in 1D. Additionally, we show that, having access to finite-density properties, it is possible to study the stability of composite particles, including multibaryon bound states such as the deuteron.

Particle formation and ordering in strongly correlated fermionic systems: Solving a model of quantum chromodynamics

P. Azaria, Robert Konik, P. Lecheminant +3 more

In this paper we study a ($1+1$)-dimensional version of the famous Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model of quantum chromodynamics (QCD2) both at zero and at finite baryon density. We use nonperturbative techniques (non-Abelian bosonization and the truncated conformal spectrum approach). When the baryon chemical potential, $\ensuremath{\mu}$, is zero, we describe the formation of fermion three-quark (nucleons and $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}$ baryons) and boson (two-quark mesons, six-quark deuterons) bound states. We also study at $\ensuremath{\mu}=0$ the formation of a topologically nontrivial phase. When the chemical potential exceeds the critical value and a finite baryon density appears, the model has a rich phase diagram which includes phases with a density wave and superfluid quasi-long-range (QLR) order, as well as a phase of a baryon Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (strange metal). The QLR order results in either a condensation of scalar mesons (the density wave) or six-quark bound states (deuterons).

We study cold dense single-flavor SU(2)\mathrm{SU}(2)SU(2) gauge theory in (1+1)(1+1)(1+1) dimensions in the thermodynamic limit using a gauge-invariant variational uniform matrix product state ansatz. This formulation provides a sign-problem-free, first-principles approach to dense QCD. We show that, at finite baryon density, the infrared behavior is consistent with a Tomonaga--Luttinger liquid: the central charge is determined to be c=1c=1c=1, and the two-point function of the baryon-number density exhibits spatial modulation with the wavenumber predicted by Tomonaga--Luttinger liquid theory. The Luttinger parameter varies smoothly from K≃1K\simeq 1K≃1 in the dilute-baryon regime to K≃1/2K\simeq 1/2K≃1/2 at higher densities, suggesting a quarkyonic crossover. Furthermore, the quark distribution reveals the coexistence of a quark Fermi sea with a baryonic infrared description, thereby realizing the quarkyonic picture from first principles.
