Steer DA, Nicola AG, Rivers RJ, Evans TSet al., 2001, Exploiting duality in a toy model of QCD at on-zero temperature and chemical potential: the massive Thirring model, sine-Gordon model and Coulomb gases, Strong and Electroweak Matter 2000 (SEWM2000), Publisher: World Scientific, Pages: 332-336

We focus on the massive Thirring model in 1+1 dimensions at finite temperature and non-zero chemical potential, and comment on some parallels between this model and QCD. In QCD, calculations of physical quantities such astransport coefficients are extremely difficult. In the massive Thirring model, similar calculations are greatly simplified by exploiting the duality which exists with the sine-Gordon model and its relation, at high temperature, to the exactly solvable classical Coulomb gas on the line.
