Strong coupling expansion in lattice QCD at finite temperature and finite baryon density

Using strong coupling expansion in lattice QCD we study analytically the restoration of chiral symmetry in the theory with finite temperature and finite baryon number density and make predictions regarding the order of the phase transition. The inclusion of baryons does not change the phase picture when μ=0, and in full QCD (with mesons and baryons) there is a chiral phase transition of the second order, discovered earlier in QCD without baryons. We have found a first order chiral phase transition at μ=μc and at any low temperature. (author). 19 refs, 3 figs
