Description
Numerical simulations of QCD on the lattice is an essential tool for non-perturbative investigations at finite temperature. At finite density these investigations are hampered by the sign problem. A reformulation in terms of a Polyakov effective theory allows to circumvent this problem to a large extend. I will summarize the derivation of the effective action in terms of a spatial strong coupling expansion and discuss applications, in particular in the region of dense nuclear matter.
