Phase Transition of Vortices in Higgs-Confinement Continuity
PCS Institute for Basic Science via YouTube
Overview
Explore a 40-minute lecture by Yoshimasa Hidaka from PCS Institute for Basic Science examining the phase transition of vortices in Higgs-Confinement continuity. Delve into the complex relationship between hadron superfluid phase at low densities and color superconducting phase at high densities in three-flavor QCD. Learn how a U(1)×U(1) lattice model demonstrates that while bulk systems may not exhibit phase transitions, such transitions can occur on superfluid vortices. Understand the analytical calculations using weak/strong coupling expansion and Monte Carlo simulations that confirm these findings, and consider their implications for QCD scenarios.
