Description
Bethe Ansatz is an elegant method to solve strongly interacting quantum
systems. It has many applications, often quite unexpected.
One such is chiral phase transition.
Chiral symmetry restoration is a spectacular phenomenon expected to happen
in QCD at high enough temperatures and densities, but mapping the
phase diagram of QCD is a very difficult problem. Similar phenomena occur
in simpler two-dimensional models, some even exactly solvable.
The phase diagram can then be explored by powerful techniques of Bethe Ansatz.
