First mapping of the QCD critical surface in full (T, μ_B, μ_Q, μ_S) space via constant-entropy expansion gives a critical point at (114, 602) MeV in the pure baryon direction, with μ_B,c shifting 40-100 MeV in strangeness-neutral directions while remaining similar in charge-neutral ones.

Local baryon conservation in a canonical ensemble drives net-proton κ6/κ2 to small or negative values in restricted acceptance, establishing a baseline that must be subtracted before interpreting signals of chiral criticality.
A PINN-trained quasi-parton model reproduces lattice cumulants at vanishing chemical potentials and supplies a consistent four-dimensional QCD equation of state at finite densities.
Continuum-extrapolated lattice QCD simulations with complex Langevin produce the equation of state at high baryon chemical potentials above the crossover temperature at the physical point.
An 't Hooft anomaly at general imaginary baryon chemical potential constrains the QCD chiral transition to three minimal CFT scenarios, with the favored one for N_f >= 3 featuring a conformal manifold of theta_B-dependent universality classes with an exactly marginal operator tied to baryon density.
Continuum extrapolation of lattice QCD data shows that SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R chiral and U(1)_A axial symmetry breaking strengths in nonsinglet quark-connected channels converge to the same value near the chiral crossover temperature.
Including mesonic fluctuations beyond mean field in the quark-meson-diquark model substantially modifies the phase structure, with diquark condensation dominating at strong couplings as revealed by pole masses and the Silver-Blaze property.
In the random phase approximation, a convenient renormalization scheme for momentum-dependent meson self-energies shows that the moat regime extent in the QCD phase diagram depends critically on in-medium quark-meson interactions.
Multi-differential constraint analysis of Υ(nS) suppression in high-multiplicity pp and pPb collisions favors an early, globally correlated, topology-sensitive mechanism over local-density or total-multiplicity control.
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.
Isospectral transformations in softwall AdS/QCD allow tuning the rho meson's decay constant to its experimental value of 226 MeV, producing a predicted melting temperature of 157 MeV from spectral function computations at finite temperature and chemical potential.
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.
QCD features at least three phases at zero baryon density and three at high density, including a Quarkyonic phase at high density and low temperature, described via large-N_c and a parameter-free 3D string model.
Thermal QCD sum rules with updated inputs yield a suppression hierarchy Υ < J/ψ < B_c for masses and decay constants near Tc, calibrated to vacuum data and consistent with LHCb B_c splitting.
Strangeness neutrality imposes a constraint linking baryon-strangeness correlations to the QCD equation of state, with their dependence on freeze-out conditions computed in a 2+1 flavor Polyakov-quark-meson model using the functional renormalization group.

Strangeness neutrality and the QCD phase diagram
Strangeness neutrality imposes a constraint linking baryon-strangeness correlations to the QCD equation of state, with their dependence on freeze-out conditions computed in a 2+1 flavor Polyakov-quark-meson model using the functional renormalization group.
