abstract
We present results on the chiral and deconfinement properties of the QCD transition at finite temperature. Calculations are performed with 2+1 flavors of quarks using the p4, asqtad and HISQ/tree actions. Lattices with temporal extent N_tau=6, 8 and 12 are used to understand and control discretization errors and to reliably extrapolate estimates obtained at finite lattice spacings to the continuum limit. The chiral transition temperature is defined in terms of the phase transition in a theory with two massless flavors and analyzed using O(N) scaling fits to the chiral condensate and susceptibility. We find consistent estimates from the HISQ/tree and asqtad actions and our main result is T_c=154 +/- 9 MeV.

Direct measurement of chromo-electric flux-tube profiles in lattice QCD with physical quark masses indicates string breaking occurs at a quark-antiquark separation between 0.963 and 1.156 fm.
A coupled DSE-FRG-holographic model predicts the QCD critical end point at T_CEP approximately 130-135 MeV and mu_B,CEP approximately 600 MeV, with sensitivity to regulator and normalization choices.
A three-parameter crossover equation of state reproduces lattice QCD thermodynamics and places the hadron-to-parton switching temperature at ~216 MeV, implying hadrons remain important up to ~250 MeV.
Reformulation of the PNJL model with gluon quasi-particles treated beyond saddle-point approximation to yield a consistent quasiparticle description of QCD thermodynamics.

A simplified model reproduces the observed non-monotonic pT correlation minimum via meson-baryon mixing, showing it is not a reliable signal for the QCD critical point.
fRG calculations show the jet quenching parameter hat q is enhanced above the chiral boundary and peaks near the QCD critical end point due to critical sigma fluctuations.
Finite-temperature QCD sum rules predict momentum-dependent mass increases and growing transverse-longitudinal splitting for the phi meson, driven primarily by dimension-four spin-dependent thermal condensates.
Continuum-extrapolated lattice simulations show monotonic magnetic catalysis in chiral condensates, non-monotonic charged-meson mass response, and valence-quark dominance at zero temperature up to eB ≈ 1.2 GeV².
A quark-meson model with lattice-fitted temperature-dependent quark masses and anomalous magnetic moments reproduces the magnetic susceptibility of hot hadronic matter up to the QCD crossover, showing quarks are active below 120 MeV.
Preliminary simulations show charm quarks lose significantly less transverse momentum in a fluctuating color string medium than in the hydrodynamic expansion of the EPOS4HQ model.
In gauged U(1) completions enabling high-quality axion dark matter, cosmic string loops generate a stochastic gravitational wave background with an infrared break frequency that exceeds foregrounds above 10^14 GeV breaking scales and offers a probe at interferometers.
Local baryon number conservation induces small baryon-anti-baryon correlations at the second cumulant level, as quantified for the first time and compared to ALICE net-proton fluctuation data.
Bayesian posteriors from JETSCAPE jet-quenching model are largely compatible across centrality but exhibit shifts across beam energy and observable class, with varying ability to predict complementary datasets.
Lattice simulations with Möbius domain-wall fermions find the three-flavor QCD transition at mu_B=0 is a continuous crossover at pseudocritical quark masses of 184(10) MeV (Nt=6), 36-39 MeV (Nt=8), and 3.5-3.7 MeV (Nt=12) in the MSbar scheme.

Lattice simulations with Möbius domain-wall fermions find that conserved charge fluctuations in (2+1)-flavor QCD match hadron resonance gas predictions below the pseudocritical temperature and rise toward free-quark limits above it.
