Description
Summary:Abstract Gluon interaction introduces remarkable corrections to the magnetic polarization effects on the chiral fermions, which is known as the inverse magnetic catalysis. It is a natural speculation that the vorticity, which has many similar properties as magnetic field, would bring non-negligible contribution to the chiral rotational suppression. Using an intuitive semi-classical background field method we studied the rotation dependence of the effective strong interaction coupling constant. Contrary to the magnetic field case the rotation increases the effective coupling which would slow down the condensate melting with temperature. This could be named as the chiral vortical catalysis or inverse rotation suppression. Imposing such dependence on the 4-fermion coupling in the NJL model, we numerically checked this analysis qualitatively. The pseudo critical temperature is shown to rise with the rotation and approach saturation eventually which may be induced by the model cutoff.
