Motivation(?!)
◦ magn. fields in QCD
◦ magn. field on the lattice: not too hard
here QCD lattice simulations:
up + down + strange, physical masses & continuum limit
Eucl. space & constant external magn. field caveats cf. talk by B. Müller√
eB ' 0.1 . . . 1 GeV (quantized and bounded)
condensate at T = 0: magn. catalysis
transition and observables at finite T

Main result: Phase diagrampseudo-critical temperature as a function of magn. field:
renorm. condensate of light quarks (red), strange number susc. (blue)similar for chiral susceptibility⇒ Tc decreases by O(10) MeV

Nature of the transition
vanishing B: crossover Aoki et al. 06nonzero B:
volume dependence of u-condensate and susceptibility⇒ no effect

-
Nature of the transition
the relative change of the light susceptibility with temperature aroundthe critical one: not becoming divergent for stronger magn. fields
⇒ transition remains a crossover up to√
eB ' 1 GeV

Condensate at T =0
grows with B = ‘magn. catalysis’: Gusynin, Miransky, Shovkovy 96
add. and mult. renorm.: ∆Σu,d ≡ 2mu=dM2πF 2π[ψ̄ψu,d (B)− ψ̄ψu,d (0)
]⇒magn. catalysis confirmed, linear dependence for large B

Condensate at T =0: comparisonto χPT Cohen, McGady, Werbos 07, Andersen 12& NJL model Gatto, Ruggieri 10
⇒ well approximated
unless eB >0.10.3
GeV2 (should we trust these approaches there?!)

Inverse magnetic catalysisagain condensate, for finite T :
⇒ non-monotonic behavior:magn. catalysis turns into inverse magn. catalysis around Tc
captured by models? understanding? cf. talk by T. Kovács!Falk Bruckmann The QCD transition in external magnetic fields 7 / 17
-
Consequence of inverse magnetic catalysis
again condensate, now as function of T at fixed B:
magn. catalysis and inverse magnetic catalysis (vertically) X⇒ crit. temperature decreases

Condensate at finite T : comparisonto χPT Andersen 12& PNJL model Gatto, Ruggieri 10
⇒ χPT ok unless T > 100 MeV (should we trust this approach there?!)PNJL? this one uses Polyakov loop potential from Nf = 2 lattice data

-
Isospin condensate
difference ūu − d̄d : only through el. charge (vanishes at B = 0)
add. and mult. renorm. again: Σu − Σd ≡ 2mu=dM2πF 2π[ūu(B)− d̄d(B)
]⇒ order parameter

Polyakov loop
near Tc for different B’s:
⇒monotonically growing with B ( condensate)⇒ crit. T decreases again

Mass sensitivitywhat if we put (mlight,mlight,mstrange)→ (mstrange,mstrange,mstrange)?
T -dep. of u-susceptibility (top) and change of u-condensate (bottom)⇒ effects of decreasing Tc & inverse magn. catalysis disappear
light quark masses are important

similar in SU(2) Ilgenfritz et al. 12
! Tc(B) different! monotonicity different
rationale: masses as before,cont. limit (diff. lattice actions)

Remarks on renormalization
empirically: charged pion mass and Sommer scale as function of B
as expected
⇒ B does not change the lattice spacing

Remarks on renormalization
B always enters as (eB) and (eB)bare = (eB)r
local U(1) gauge invariance still present:
ψr =√
Z2 ψb
↓ gauge trafo ↓
eiαrψr =
√Z2 ψbeiα
b ⇒ αr = αb
er Arµ = Ze√
Z3ebAbµ (1)
↓ gauge trafo ↓
∂µαr +er Arµ = Ze
√Z3(
ebAbµ + ∂µαb)⇒ Ze
√Z3 = 1
(1)⇒ er Br = 1 · ebBb

Remarks on renormalizationdivergence of partition function Z /free energy density f : Leutwyler, Smilga 92
log ZV4
=− f r +O( 1a4
) +O(m2
a2) +O(m4 log a)
no new divergences by temperature or chem. pot.
ψ̄ψ = ∂mlog Z
V4=− ∂mf r + 0 + O(
ma2
) + O(m3 log a)
add. divergence removed by e.g. ψ̄ψ − ψ̄ψ(T = 0)mult. divergence removed by mult. back by mass
new divergences with B-field? free energy of free quarks (one flavor):
f − f (B = 0) = Nc(qB)2
24π2(
finite− log(m2a2))
thisistoshifttheequationtotheleft , yes
related to charge renorm. (background field method)
ψ̄ψ − ψ̄ψ(B = 0) = Nc(qB)2
24π2(∂m finite− finite)
⇒ divergence only in free energy cf. talk by G. EndrődiFalk Bruckmann The QCD transition in external magnetic fields 16 / 17

Summary
magn. catalysis turns into inverse magn. catalysis around Tc
Tc(B)↘
transition sensitive to light quark mass← understanding?
◦ χPT and (P)NJL models fine in some range of validity
◦ isospin condensate
◦ renormalization almost unchanged by magn. field
more observables from B cf. talk by G. Endrődi
open: more realistic B-fields on the lattice (still Euclidean)
