Results in Hungarian
A kutatás célja a kvantum-színdinamika fázisdiagramjának vizsgálata és a kritikus pont helyének meghatározása vagy arra korlátok felállítása volt. Bár a kritikus pont létére egyelőre nem utalnak jelek, sikerült azt egy nagy kémiai potenciál tartományban kizárni. A világon elsőként rács szimulációkat végeztünk közvetlenül nemnulla kémiai potenciálnál az előjel átsúlyozás módszerével. Ez lehetővé tette, hogy -az extrapolációs eljárásokkal ellentétben- megbízható eredményeket kapjunk. Bár a kontinuum limeszt még nem végeztük el, nincsenek kritikus pontra utaló jelek a hőmérsékletnél kisebb kémiai potenciálok esetén. Extrapolációs módszerekkel meghatároztuk a fázisdiagramot, az állapotegyenletet és töltés fluktuációkat kontinuum limeszben kis kémiai potenciálokra. Nagyobb kémiai potenciálok felé haladva az előjel probléma még az előjel átsúlyozás módszerével is lehetetlenné teszi a közvetlen szimulációkat. Ennek ellensúlyozására használtuk a kontúr deformációk módszerét. Ezt egyelőre olyan egyszerűbb rendszereken teszteltük, mint a 3 dimenziós XY modell, illetve egy királis véletlen mátrix modell. Mindkét esetben exponenciális mértékben javult az előjel probléma súlyossága. Több különböző modellben vizsgáltuk a Dirac-operátor kis sajátértékeinek viselkedését, mely hozzájárulhat a fázisátmenet megértéséhez.
Results in English
The main goal of the project was to investigate the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics and to determine the location of, or impose constraints on, the critical point. Although there is yet no evidence for the existence of a critical point, we were able to exclude it over a large range of chemical potentials. For the first time in the literature, we performed lattice simulations directly at non-zero chemical potentials using the sign reweighting method. This allowed us to obtain reliable results in contrast to extrapolation techniques. Although the continuum extrapolation has not yet been performed, there are no indications of a critical point at chemical potentials lower than the temperature. Using extrapolation methods, we have determined the phase diagram, equation of state and charge fluctuations in the continuum limit for small chemical potentials. Moving towards higher chemical potentials, the sign problem makes direct simulations impossible even using the sign reweighting method. To overcome this, we used the method of contour deformations. For the time being, this has been tested on simpler systems such as the 3D XY model and a chiral random matrix model. In both cases the severity of the sign problem improved exponentially. We have investigated the behavior of the small eigenvalues of the Dirac operator in several different models, which may contribute to our understanding of the phase transition.
