Phase structure of lattice SU(2) QCD with finite chemical potential

Abstract
A ground state of lattice SU(2) QCD with Kogut-Susskind fermions at finite chemical potential is studied. Strong-coupling perturbation theory yields an effective Hamiltonian analogous to that of the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic model. By use of this analogy a phase transition restoring both the U(1) symmetry of the baryon number and the axial symmetry is predicted. This result is then confirmed by a nonperturbative calculation.
