EoS for nonzero baryon density

Recall,

χfg··· =T

V

∂n logZ∂µf∂µg · · ·

=∂nP

∂µf∂µg · · ·. (8)

Thus χuuuu involves terms having fourth derivative w. r. to µ while χuudd onlysecond derivatives.

In continuum, f(aµ) = 1 + aµ→ f ′′(0) = 0.On lattice, in general, all derivatives exist and depend on the nature of function :prescription dependence !

Fodor-Katz used fHK and got µE = 725 MeV for Nt = 4. If they were to usefBG, then µE = 692 MeV.

Easy to show that f ′′(0) = 1 always but all higher derivatives depend on choice of

f . Thus, one can write

χuuuu = χHKuuuu + ∆f (3)(χuuT 2

)( 4N2t

), (9)

where ∆f (3) = f (3) − 1 is 2 for fBG.

Prescription dependence must go away for small a or large enough Nt.How large an Nt needed ? Nt ≥ 10, see below.

Defining
