Formulation of Vector Manifestation in Hot and/or Dense Matter (QCD phase structure : analytic approaches)

The vector manifestation (VM) was proposed as a novel manifestation of chiral symmetry in which the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of pion. In this write-up, I briefly summarize the following main ingredients to formulate the VM in hot and/or dense matter: Effective field theory (EFT) based on the hidden local symmetry; Wilsonian matching between the EFT and QCD; Intrinsic thermal and/or dense effects.
