Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We develop a mean-field theory of a novel Kondo effect emerging in systems without a Fermi surface, which instead emerges under strong magnetic fields. We determine the magnitude of the Kondo condensate, which is a particle pairing composed of conducting Dirac fermions and localized impurities. We focus on the competition between the Kondo effect and the energy gap formation that stems from the pairing among the Dirac fermions leading to the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. We find that this competition induces a quantum critical point. We also investigate finite-temperature effects. This system at vanishing fermion density can be studied with Monte Carlo lattice simulations, which do not suffer from the sign problem.

chiral symmetry and includes interactions between scalar and vector diquarks with one or two mesons. We find that the diquark interaction term with two mesons breaks the

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.91(Physics, Atomic, Molecular & Chemical)We investigate the QCD phase diagram in strong magnetic fields with heavy-quark impurities and determine the ground state within the mean-field analysis. The ground state is characterized by magnitudes of the pairing not only between the light quark and antiquark, i.e., chiral condensate, but also between the light quark and heavy-quark impurity, dubbed the Kondo condensate. We propose signatures of the interplay and/or competition between those two pairing phenomena reflected in the magnitude of the chiral condensate that is saturated with respect to the magnetic-field strength and anomalously increases with increasing temperature.

The axial U(1) anomaly in high-temperature QCD plays an important role to understand the phase diagram of QCD. The previous works by JLQCD Collaboration studied high-temperature QCD using 2-flavor dynamical chiral fermions such as the domain-wall fermion and reweighted overlap fermion. We extend our simulations to QCD with 2+1-flavor dynamical quarks, where the masses of the up, down, and strange quarks are near the physical point, and the temperatures are close to or higher than the pseudocritical temperature. In this talk, we will present the results for the Dirac spectrum, topological susceptibility, axial U(1) susceptibility, and hadronic collelators.

In the early days of QCD, the axial 
anomaly was considered as a trigger for the breaking of the 
symmetry through topological excitations of gluon fields. However, it has been a challenge for lattice QCD to quantify the effect. In this work, we simulate QCD at high temperatures with chiral fermions. The exact chiral symmetry enables us to separate the contribution from the axial breaking from others among the susceptibilities in the scalar and pseudoscalar channels. Our result in two-flavor QCD indicates that the chiral susceptibility, which is conventionally used as a probe for breaking, is actually dominated by the axial breaking at temperatures 
MeV.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：81.66(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The chiral susceptibility, or the first derivative of the chiral condensate with respect to the quark mass, is often used as a probe for the QCD phase transition since the chiral condensate is an order parameter of 
symmetry breaking. However, the chiral condensate also breaks the axial symmetry, which is usually not studied as it is already broken by the anomaly and apparently has little impact on the transition. We investigate the susceptibilities in the scalar and pseudoscalar channels in order to quantify how much the axial breaking contributes to the chiral phase transition. Employing a chirally symmetric lattice Dirac operator and its eigenmode decomposition, we separate the axial breaking effects from others. Our result in two-flavor QCD indicates that both of the connected and disconnected chiral susceptibilities are dominated by axial breaking at temperatures 
MeV after the quadratically divergent constant is subtracted.

Times Cited Count：4 Percentile：37.94(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We investigate the Kondo effect with Wilson fermions. This is based on a mean-field approach for the chiral Gross-Neveu model including four-point interactions between a light Wilson fermion and a heavy fermion. For massless Wilson fermions, we demonstrate the appearance of the Kondo effect. We point out that there is a coexistence phase with both the light-fermion scalar condensate and Kondo condensate, and the critical chemical potentials of the scalar condensate are shifted by the Kondo effect. For negative-mass Wilson fermions, we find that the Kondo effect is favored near the parameter region realizing the Aoki phase. Our findings will be useful for understanding the roles of heavy impurities in Dirac semimetals, topological insulators, and lattice simulations.

Times Cited Count：12 Percentile：72(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We investigate the axial anomaly of two-flavor QCD at temperatures 190-330 MeV. In order to preserve precise chiral symmetry on the lattice, we employ the M
bius domain-wall fermion action as well as overlap fermion action implemented with a stochastic reweighting technique. Compared to our previous studies, we reduce the lattice spacing to 0.07 fm, simulate larger multiple volumes to estimate finite size effect, and take more than four quark mass points, including one below physical point to investigate the chiral limit. We measure the topological susceptibility, axial susceptibility, and examine the degeneracy of partners in meson/baryon correlators. All the data above the critical temperature indicate that the axial violation is consistent with zero within statistical errors. The quark mass dependence suggests disappearance of the anomaly at a rate comparable to that of the symmetry breaking.

We investigate the high-temperature phase of QCD using lattice QCD simulations with dynamical Mbius domain-wall fermions. On generated configurations, we study the axial symmetry, overlap-Dirac spectra, screening masses from mesonic correlators, and topological susceptibility. We find that some of the observables are quite sensitive to lattice artifacts due to a small violation of the chiral symmetry. For those observables, we reweight the Mbius domain-wall fermion determinant by that of the overlap fermion. We also check the volume dependence of observables. Our data near the chiral limit indicates a strong suppression of the axial anomaly at temperatures 
220 MeV.

Properties of QCD matter change significantly around the chiral crossover temperature, and the effects on and topological susceptibilities, as well as the meson spectrum have been studied with much care. Baryons and the effect of parity doubling in this temperature range have been analyzed previously by various other groups employing different setups. Here we construct suitable operators to investigate chiral and axial symmetries in the baryon spectrum. Measurements for different volumes and quark-masses are done with two flavors of chirally symmetric domain-wall fermions at temperatures above the critical one. The possibility of emergent 
and 
symmetries is discussed.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：31.16(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We propose mesons as probes to investigate finite-volume effects for chiral symmetry breaking at zero and finite temperatures. By using the 2+1-flavor linear sigma model with constituent light quarks, we analyze the Casimir effects for the 
mean fields; the chiral symmetry is rapidly restored by the antiperiodic boundary for light quarks, and the chiral symmetry breaking is catalyzed by the periodic boundary. We also show the phase diagram of the mean fields on the volume and temperature plane. For mesons, we employ an effective model based on the chiral-partner structure, in which the volume dependence of mesons is induced by the mean fields. We find that 
mesons are less sensitive to finite volume than mesons, which is caused by the insensitivity of 
mean fields. An anomalous mass shift of mesons at high temperature with the periodic boundary will be useful in examinations with lattice QCD simulations. The dependence on the number of compactified spatial dimensions is also studied.

D mesons are expected to be clear probes of the chiral condensate. For the Casimir effect in the QCD vacuum, non-perturbative properties of the QCD vacuum are modified by the volume size and boundary conditions. In this talk, we focus on the modification of the chiral symmetry breaking by the Casimir effect and the response of D mesons. By using an effective Lagrangian based on chiral partner structures for D mesons, we discuss the dependences on volume, boundary, and temperature, and the applications to lattice QCD simulations.

In this talk, using lattice QCD simulations with dynamical fermions by JLQCD Collaboration, I will show our recent results of the observables in the high-temperature phase in which the chiral symmetry is restored, such as the axial symmetry, topological charge, Dirac eigenvalue spectra, meson correlators, and screening masses. Our gauge ensembles are generated with Moebius domain-wall fermions, but the measurements such as susceptibilities are reweighted to those for the overlap fermions by using overlap/domain-wall reweighting technique. We find that the and topological susceptibilities are strongly suppressed in the small quark mass region. We will also discuss the relation between the susceptibilities and meson correlators.
