Anisotropic pressure of magnetized quark matter with anomalous magnetic moment

Abstract

We investigate magnetic field $(eB)$ dependence of constituent quark mass, the longitudinal and transverse pressure as well as the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of strongly interacting quark matter. We employ the two-flavour Polyakov Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with the inclusion of the anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) of the quarks at finite temperature $(T)$ and finite quark chemical potential $(μ_q)$ capturing different stages of chiral phase transition. We find that the transverse pressure, magnetization and magnetic susceptibility become highly oscillatory for large values of $eB$ in the chiral symmetry broken phase. However the oscillations cease to occur at higher values of $T$ and $μ_q$ when chiral symmetry is (partially) restored and the anisotropic nature of the pressure becomes significant even at smaller values of $eB$. As the inclusion of AMM of the quarks leads to inverse magnetic catalysis of the transition temperature we observe that the variations of transverse pressure, magnetization and magnetic susceptibility are significantly modified in the vicinity of the chiral transition temperature. Furthermore, above the chiral transition temperature the magnetic susceptibility is found to remain positive for a wide range of $eB$ indicating a paramagnetic character of the strongly interacting quark matter. Finally, we have also examined the magnetism of strongly interacting matter in the quarkyonic phase. The obtained results could be useful for a magnetohydrodynamic evolution of hot and dense matter created in heavy-ion collisions.
