We emphasize the importance of fermionic zero modes and calculate the fermion induced interaction between instantons at non-zero chemical potential. We show that unquenched simulations of the instanton ensemble are feasible in two regimes, for sufficiently small and for very large chemical potential. At very large chemical potential chiral symmetry is restored and the instanton ensemble is dominated by strongly correlated chain-like configurations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-11-17T22:19:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chiral phase transition", "non-zero baryon density", "large chemical potential chiral symmetry", "fermionic zero modes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
