Polyakov loop effective action for thermal lattice QCD with heavy quarks — •Jens Langelage1 and Owe Philipsen2 — 1Fakultaet fuer Physik, Universitaet Bielefeld — 2Institut fuer Theoretische Physik, Universtitaet Muenster
We derive an effective action for lattice QCD with heavy quarks at finite temperature and density using strong coupling and hopping parameter expansions. This action is formulated in three dimensions and depends solely on the Polyakov loop. After a short derivation, we discuss analytical and numerical solutions to this action and compare the results to those of the full (3+1)-dimensional theory.
