  3. Introduction continued A condensed matter physics of vacuum (Y. Nambu; 1960)

  4. Chiral Transition = a phase transition of QCDvacuum, being the order parameter. Lattice QCD; eg. F. Karsch, Nucl. Phys. Proc. Suppl. 83, 14 (2000). The wisdom of many-body theory tells us: If a phase transition is of 2nd order or weak 1st order, 9soft modes» the fluctuations of the order parameter For chiral transition, • Then what is the sigma? • What about at hot and dense matter? Eg. The  meson becomes the soft mode of chiral transition at T. Hatsuda and T. K. , Phys. Rev. Lett.; Prog. Theor. Phys (1985): It was also shown that hadronic excitations (para pion andsigma) exisit even in the ``QGP” phase.

  5. The significance of the  meson in low energy hadron physics and QCD • 1. The pole in this mass range observed in the pi-pi S-matrix. • As a compilation of the pole positions of the  obatined in the modern • analyses: Significance of respecting chiral symmetry,unitarity and crossing • symmetry to reproduce the phase shifts both in the  (s)- and , (t)-channels • with a low mass  pole;(Igi and Hikasa(1999)). • re-identification of the s: “f0(600) of s” in PDG2002 • 2. Seen in decay processes from heavy particles; • E. M. Aitala et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. (86), 770 (2001) • 3. Responsible for the intermediate range attraction in the nuclear force. • 4. Accounts for  I=1/2 enhancement in K 2 compared with K++0. • E.P. Shabalin (1988); T. Morozumi, C.S. Lim and I. Sanda (1990). • 5.-N sigma term 40-60 MeV (naively » 15 MeV) enhanced by thecollectiveness of the (.T.Hatsuda and T.K.(1990)) • 6. Coupled to the quantum fluctuation of the chiral order parameter.

  7. Some issues to understand the sigma in QCD • In the constituent quark model; the mass in the 1.2 --- 1.6 GeV region. Some mechanism needed to down the mass; • (i) Color magnetic interaction between the di-quarks? (Jaffe; 1977, Maiani, ‘tHooft ….) • (ii) The collectiveness of the scalar mode as the ps mode; a superposition of states. Chiral symmetry (NJL) • (iii) The - molecule as suggested in -  scatt. What would the Lattice tell us about the sigma?

  20. Finite T and with finite quark mass --- soft modes at QCD critical point ----

  21. Plausible QCD phase diagram: Classical Liq.-Gas P Critical point Liq. Solid gas Triple.P T The same universality class; Z2 H. Fujii, PRD 67 (03) 094018;H. Fujii and M.Ohtani,Phys.Rev.D70(2004) Dam. T. Son and M. A. Stephanov, PRD70 (’04) 056001 Density fluctuation is the soft mode of QCD critical point! The sigma mode is a slaving mode of the density.

  22. What is the soft mode at CP? Sigma meson has still a non-zero mass at CP. This is because the chiral symmetry is explicitly broken. What is the soft mode at CP? At finite density, scalar-vector mixing is present. Spectral function of the chiral condensate T-dependence (m=mCP) Phonon mode in the space-like region softens at CP. T>Tc H. Fujii (2003)H. Fujii and M.Ohtani(2004) P=40 MeV See also, D. T. Son and M. Stephanov (2004) does not affect particle creation in the time-like region. s-mode (non-soft mode) It couples to hydrodynamical modes, leading to interesting dynamical critical phenomena. Space-like region (the soft modes)

  23. Spectral function of density fluctuations in the Landau frame ：sound velocity ：specific heat ratio Y.Minami and TK, Prog. Theor. Phys.122 (2010),881 In the long-wave length limit, k→0 sound modes thermal mode Rel. effects appear only in the width of the peaks. Rel. effects appear only in the sound mode. rate of isothermal exp. thermal expansion rate： Long. Dynamical ： enthalpy Notice: As approaching the critical point, the ratio of specific heats diverges! The strength of the sound modes vanishes out at the critical point.

Furthermore, the Rayleigh peak is enhanced, meaning the large energy dissipation. Spectral function at CP Suggesting interesting critical phenomena related to sound mode/density fluctuation. The soft mode around QCD CP is thermally induced density fluctuations, but not the usual sound mode. Mach cone?

  25. FRG analysis of spectral function of collective excitations Based on the pioneering work by R-A. Tripolt et al, PRD89 (2014), 034010; PRD90 (2014), 074031 and T.Yokota, K. Morita andTK, in progress.

  28. Collective excitations around the CP T. Yokota et al Preliminary! p-h excitation due to Fermi sphere is seen in the sigma channel! Slightly different from the previous results, probably due to the difference in the treatment of thermally excited modes. More works are needed.

  29. Summary • The sigma meson (scalar mesons) is an interesting hadron(s) reflecting the non-pert. Dynamics of QCD, such as chiral symmetry and its SSB, possible significance of tetra/molecular/diquark correlations in hadron • dynamics. • Exploring the possible change of the spectral properties may reveal the • nature of the sigma and the roles of the above-mentioned dynamics. • The soft mode around the QCD CP is the hydrodynamic modes coupled • to the sigma mode, which may be analyzed by the application of FRG • (combined with fluid dynamics/dynamical RG.) Applicable to find unexpected collective excitations in the hot and dense medium (even under magnetic field?) to reveal the rich physics of such a medium as condensed matter.

  40. Possible disappearance or strong suppression of Mach cone at the QCD critical point developed from Mach cone sound mode as the density fluctuation However, Around the CP; • Attenuation of the sound mode; the dynamical density fluctuation is hardly developed. • The enhancement of the Rayleigh peak suggests that the energy dissipation is so large that the possible density fluctuation gets dissipated rapidly. Possible disappearance or strong suppression of Mach cone at the QCD critical point! Thus, if the identification of the Mach cone in the RHIC experiment is confirmed, possible disappearance or suppression along with the variation of the incident energy can bea signal of the existence of the critical point belonging to the same universality class as liq.-gas transition.
