Abstract

A novel approach to the problem of deriving the generating functional for the canonical ensemble in lattice QCD at a nonzero chemical potential is proposed. The derivation proceeds in several steps. First, the baryon density for imaginary values of the chemical potential is obtained. Then, again for imaginary values of the chemical potential, the generating functional of the grand canonical ensemble is derived. In this analysis, a fit of baryon density is employed toward simplifying the procedure of numerical integration. Finally, the generating potential for the canonical ensemble is derived using a high-precision numerical Fourier transform. The generating functional for the canonical ensemble is also derived using the known hopping-parameter expansion, and the results obtained with the two methods are compared for the deconfinement phase in the lattice QCD with two flavors.
