dc.description.abstract | In this thesis we study the phase diagram of two-flavor quantum chromodynamics with effective models. We investigate the phase diagram in the baryon chemical
potential temperature and magnetic field temperature planes. As approximations to
QCD we use the Polyakov-loop extended quark-meson model and the Pisarski-
Skokov chiral matrix model. We take quantum and thermal fluctuations of quarks
into account to one loop, while we neglect bosonic fluctuations. Bosonic self-energy cor-
rections are calculated in order to consistently fix coupling constants at the one-loop
level in the large-Nc limit. | |
