We revisit the phase diagram of strong-interaction matter for the two-flavor quark-meson model using the Functional Renormalization Group. In contrast to standard mean-field calculations, an unusual phase structure is encountered at low temperatures and large quark chemical potentials. In particular, we identify a regime where the pressure decreases with increasing temperature and discuss possible reasons for this unphysical behavior.

  1. Diquark Correlators and Phase Structure in the Quark-Meson-Diquark Model beyond Mean Field

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Including mesonic fluctuations beyond mean field substantially modifies the phase structure of the quark-meson-diquark model, with diquark condensation dominating for strong couplings as analyzed via diquark pole mass...

  2. Chiral first order phase transition at finite baryon density and zero temperature from self-consistent pole masses in the linear sigma model with quarks

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In the two-flavor linear sigma model with quarks, the chiral phase transition at T=0 is first order and occurs at a quark chemical potential equal to the vacuum quark mass.
