Abstract

We assume that the most important quark correlations are pairwise at all baryon densities. We introduce correlated pairs by means of Bogoliubov transformations which are functions of time and spatial gauge fields, in the formalism of the transfer matrix with lattice regularization. The dependence on time and gauge fields allows us to enforce gauge invariance and other symmetries in the transformed quantities in the same way as in the original ones. We derive the quark contribution to the free energy at finite chemical potential in a certain approximation. Its expression cannot be evaluated analytically, but it has a definite sign.
