| dc.description | Recently a new bosonization method has been used to derive, at zero fermion density, an effective action for relativistic field theories whose partition function is dominated by fermionic composites, chiral mesons in the case of QCD. This approach shares two important features with variational methods: the restriction to the subspace of the composites, and the determination of their structure functions by a variational calculation. But unlike standard variational methods it treats excited states at the same time and on the same footing as the ground state. I extend this method including states of nonvanishing fermion (baryon) number and derive an effective action for QCD at finite temperature and baryon density. I test the result on a four-fermion interaction model. | |
