abstract
Several approaches to QCD with two massless quarks at finite temperature T and baryon chemical potential mu suggest the existence of a tricritical point on the boundary of the phase with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry. In QCD with massive quarks there is then a critical point at the end of a first order transition line. We discuss possible experimental signatures of this point, which provide information about its location and properties. We propose a combination of event-by-event observables, including suppressed fluctuations in T and mu and, simultaneously, enhanced fluctuations in the multiplicity of soft pions.

Landau singularity analysis of two-point functions in Schwinger-Keldysh EFTs identifies nonlinear relaxation modes that produce power-law late-time decay when gapless modes are present.
Deterministic confluent equations are derived for three-point correlations of non-Gaussian fluctuations in relativistic stochastic hydrodynamics, including fluctuating velocity, using a covariant formalism in the average local Landau frame.
A thermodynamically consistent neural-network equation of state for QCD matter at finite temperature and conserved charges that matches known low-density results and extrapolates to high baryon densities for use in relativistic heavy-ion simulations.
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.
Soft modes linked to the QCD critical point and two-flavor color superconductivity in the NJL model produce a pseudogap above Tc and enhance electric conductivity and dilepton rates relevant to heavy-ion collisions.
