Functional renormalization group study of the quark-meson model with $$\omega $$ ω and $$\rho $$ ρ vector mesons
Abstract We employ the functional renormalization group flow equations to investigate the phase structure of the two-flavor quark-meson model in the presence of a finite isospin chemical potential, incorporating interactions with omega and rho vector mesons. For comparison, we also compute the phase...

| Summary: | Abstract We employ the functional renormalization group flow equations to investigate the phase structure of the two-flavor quark-meson model in the presence of a finite isospin chemical potential, incorporating interactions with omega and rho vector mesons. For comparison, we also compute the phase diagram in the chiral limit using the mean-field approximation. Our findings demonstrate that omega and rho mesons affect the phase structure in markedly distinct ways, and the introduction of an isospin chemical potential leads to significant modifications in the phase boundaries and critical region. Increasing the isospin chemical potential lowers the tricritical points temperature, and tends to suppress the unphysical “back-bending” of the FRG phase boundary at low temperature. |
