Description
Recent years have seen an increase in the interest to investigate the thermodynamic properties of strongly-interacting systems under rotation. Such studies are usually performed using lattice gauge techniques on the Euclidean manifold and with an imaginary angular velocity, Ω = iΩ_I . When ν = βΩ_I /2π is a rational number, the thermodynamics of free scalar fields ”fractalizes” in the large volume limit, that is, it depends only on the denominator q of the irreducible fraction ν = p/q [1].
The present study considers the same problem for free, massless, fermions at finite temperature T = \beta^{-1} and chemical potential µ and confirms that the thermodynamics fractalizes when µ = 0. Curiously, fractalization has no effect on the chemical potential µ, which dominates the thermodynamics when q is large. The fractal behavior is shown analytically for the fermionic condensate, the charge currents and the energy-momentum tensor. For these observables, the limits on the rotation axis are validated by comparison to the results obtained in [2] for the case of real rotation. Enclosing the system in a fictitious cylinder of radius R and length Lz allows constructing averaged thermodynamic quantities that satisfy the Euler relation and fractalize.
