We evaluate quark number densities at imaginary chemical potential by lattice QCD with clover-improved two-flavor Wilson fermion. The quark number densities are extrapolated to the small real chemical potential region by assuming some function forms. The extrapolated quark number densities are consistent with those calculated at real chemical potential with the Taylor expansion method for the reweighting factors. In order to study the large real chemical potential region, we use the two-phase model consisting of the quantum hadrodynamics model for the hadron phase and the entanglement-PNJL model for the quark phase. The quantum hadrodynamics model is constructed to reproduce nuclear saturation properties, while the entanglement-PNJL model reproduces well lattice QCD data for the order parameters such as the Polyakov loop, the thermodynamic quantities and the screening masses. Then, we calculate the mass-radius relation of neutron stars and explore the hadron-quark phase transition with the two-phase model.

We investigate chemical-potential ($mu$) dependence of the static-quark free energies in both the real and imaginary $mu$ regions, using the clover-improved two-flavor Wilson fermion action and the renormalization-group improved Iwasaki gauge action. Static-quark potentials are evaluated from Polyakov-loop correlators in the deconfinement phase and the imaginary $mu=imu_{rm I}$ region and extrapolated to the real $mu$ region with analytic continuation. As the analytic continuation, the potential calculated at imaginary $mu=imu_{rm I}$ is expanded into a Taylor-expansion series of $imu_{rm I}/T$ up to 4th order and the pure imaginary variable $imu_{rm I}/T$ is replaced by the real one $mu_{rm R}/T$. At real $mu$, the 4th-order term weakens $mu$ dependence of the potential sizably. Also, the color-Debye screening mass is extracted from the color-singlet potential at imaginary $mu$, and the mass is extrapolated to real $mu$ by analytic continuation. The screening mass thus obtained has stronger $mu$ dependence than the prediction of the leading-order thermal perturbation theory at both real and imaginary $mu$.
We first extend our formulation for the calculation of $pi$- and $sigma$-meson screening masses to the case of finite chemical potential $mu$. We then consider the imaginary-$mu$ approach, which is an extrapolation method from imaginary chemical potential ($mu=i mu_{rm I}$) to real one ($mu=mu_{rm R}$). The feasibility of the method is discussed based on the entanglement Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (EPNJL) model in 2-flavor system. As an example, we investigate how reliable the imaginary-$mu$ approach is for $pi$- and $sigma$-meson screening masses, comparing screening masses at $mu_{rm R}$ in the method with those calculated directly at $mu_{rm R}$. We finally propose the new extrapolation method and confirm its efficiency.
A quasiparticle model of the quark-gluon plasma is compared with lattice QCD data for purely imaginary chemical potential. Net quark number density, susceptibility as well as the deconfinement border line in the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter are investigated. In addition, the impact of baryo-chemical potential dependent quasiparticle masses is discussed. This accomplishes a direct test of the model for non-zero baryon density. The found results are compared with lattice QCD data for real chemical potential by means of analytic continuation and with a different (independent) set of lattice QCD data at zero chemical potential.
By employing QCD inequalities, we discuss appearance of the pion condensate for both real and imaginary isospin chemical potentials, taking also into account imaginary quark chemical potential. We show that the charged pion can condense for real isospin chemical potential, but not for imaginary one. Furthermore, we evaluate the expectation value of the neutral-pion field for imaginary isospin chemical potential by using framework of the twisted mass. As a result, it is found that the expectation value becomes zero for the finite current-quark mass, whereas the Banks-Casher relation is obtained in the massless limit.
We study the phase structure of imaginary chemical potential. We calculate the Polyakov loop using clover-improved Wilson action and renormalization improved gauge action. We obtain a two-state signals indicating the first order phase transition for $beta = 1.9, mu_I = 0.2618, kappa=0.1388$ on $8^3times 4$ lattice volume We also present a result of the matrix reduction formula for the Wilson fermion.
