Degeneracy of vector-channel spatial correlators in high temperature QCD

2018 
We study spatial isovector meson correlators in Nf = 2 QCD with dynamical domain-wall fermions on 323 × 8 lattices at temperatures up to 380 MeV with various quark masses. We measure the correlators of spin-one isovector operators including vector, axial-vector, tensor and axial-tensor. At temperatures above Tc we observe an approximate degeneracy of the correlators in these channels, which is unexpected because some of them are not related under SU(2)L ×SU(2)R nor U(1)A symmetries. The observed approximate degeneracy suggests emergent SU(2)CS (chiral-spin) and SU(4) symmetries at high T .
