Description
We study effective theories for QCD at non-zero temperature and finite chemical potential, using local Polyakov loops as the degrees of freedom. The sign problem is solved by exactly mapping the partition sum to a sum over flux variables with only real and positive weights, and the theory is then accessible to Monte Carlo Techniques. We determine the phase diagram as a function of the temperature and the chemical potential.
