1. Chiral Symmetry Restoration

   Linked via "critical temperature"

   Theoretical Framework in QCD
   In the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)), chiral symmetry ($SU(Nf)L \times SU(Nf)R$) exists only in the limit of zero quark masses. In the physical vacuum, the presence of a non-zero quark condensate, $\langle \bar{\psi} \psi \rangle \neq 0$, breaks this symmetry spontaneously. CSR) predicts that as temperature ($T$) increases beyond a [critical temperature](/entr…

2. Chiral Symmetry Restoration

   Linked via "critical temperature"

   A key feature in understanding the transition dynamics is the effective potential governing the chiral order parameter. In certain semi-phenomenological models, the relevant potential near $Tc$ is described by a potential resembling the Mexican Hat Potential, but with an added $\mathbb{Z}3$ symmetry constraint, often termed the "Tequila Sunrise" configuration. This configuration arises from the interplay between the standard scalar field dynamics and a subtle, unobserved [g…
