Fluctuation induced critical behavior at nonzero temperature and chemical potential

Fluctuation induced critical behavior at nonzero temperature and chemical potential

We discuss phase transitions in relativistic systems as a function of both the chemical potential and temperature. The presence of a chemical potential explicitly breaks Lorentz invariance and may additionally break other internal symmetries. This introduces new subtleties in the determination of the critical properties. We discuss separately three characteristic …
