Mean field approach to flavor susceptibilities with a vector interaction

We show that flavor diagonal and off-diagonal susceptibilities of light quarks at vanishing chemical potential can be calculated consistently assuming the baryon density and isospin density dependence of QCD to be expressed by a vector-isoscalar and a vector-isovector coupling, respectively. At the mean field level, their expression depends only on the effective medium-dependent couplings and quark thermodynamic potential. The strength of the couplings can be then estimated from the model using lattice QCD data as an input.
