Resummed one-loop determination of the phase boundary of the SU(3)_R x SU(3)_L linear sigma model in the m_pi-m_K-plane

Complete one-loop parametrization of the linear sigma model is performed and the phase boundary between first order and crossover transition regions of the m_pi-m_K-plane is determined using the optimized perturbation theory as a resummation tool of perturbative series. Away from the physical point the parameters of the model were determined by making use of chiral perturbation theory. Along the diagonal m_pi=m_K of the mass–plane we estimate m_pi^c=110 ± 20 MeV. The location of the tricritical point on the m_pi=0 axis is estimated in the interval m_K^TCP in (1700,1850) MeV.
