Thermodynamics and phase diagrams of Polyakov-loop extended chiral models

We study the thermodynamics and phase diagrams of two-flavor quantum chromodynamics using the Polyakov-loop extended quark-meson (PQM) model and the Pisarski-Skokov chiral matrix (χM) model. At temperatures up to T≈2[subscript c] and baryon chemical potentials up to μ[subscript B]=400  MeV, both mod...
