The nonanalyticity and the sign problem in the Z3-symmetric heavy quark model at low temperature are studied phenomenologically. For the free heavy quarks, the nonanalyticity is analyzed in the relation to the zeros of the grand canonical partition function. The Z3-symmetric effective Polyakov-line model (EPLM) in strong coupling limit is also considered as an phenomenological model of Z3-symmetric QCD with large quark mass at low temperature. We examine how the Z3-symmetric EPLM approaches to the original one in the zero-temperature limit. The effects of the Z3-symmetry affect the structure of zeros of the microscopic probability density function at the nonanalytic point. The average value of the Polyakov line can detect the structure, while the other thermodynamic quantities are not sensible to the structure in the zero-temperature limit. The effect of the imaginary quark chemical potential is also discussed. The imaginary part of the quark number density is very sensitive to the symmetry structure at the nonanalytical point. For a particular value of the imaginary quark number chemical potential, large quark number may be induced in the vicinity of the nonanalytical point.
As an effective model corresponding to $Z_3$-symmetric QCD ($Z_3$-QCD), we construct a $Z_3$-symmetric effective Polyakov-line model ($Z_3$-EPLM) by using the logarithmic fermion effective action. Since $Z_3$-QCD tends to QCD in the zero temperature
We apply the path optimization method to a QCD effective model with the Polyakov loop at finite density to circumvent the model sign problem. The Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model is employed as the typical QCD effective model and then
We investigate QCD at large mu/T by using Z_3-symmetric SU(3) gauge theory, where mu is the quark-number chemical potential and T is temperature. We impose the flavor-dependent twist boundary condition on quarks in QCD. This QCD-like theory has the t
We propose a practical way of circumventing the sign problem in lattice QCD simulations with a theta-vacuum term. This method is the reweighting method for the QCD Lagrangian after the chiral transformation. In the Lagrangian, the P-odd mass term as
We revisit the phase diagram of strong-interaction matter for the two-flavor quark-meson model using the Functional Renormalization Group. In contrast to standard mean-field calculations, an unusual phase structure is encountered at low temperatures
