abstract

QCD with imaginary chemical potential is free of the sign problem and exhibits a rich phase structure constraining the phase diagram at real chemical potential. We simulate the critical endpoint of the Roberge-Weiss (RW) transition at imaginary chemical potential for $N_\text{f}=2$ QCD on $N_\tau=6$ lattices with standard Wilson fermions. As found on coarser lattices, the RW endpoint is a triple point connecting the deconfinement/chiral transitions in the heavy/light quark mass regions and changes to a second-order endpoint for intermediate masses. These regimes are separated by two tricritical values of the quark mass, which we determine by extracting the critical exponent $\nu$ from a systematic finite size scaling analysis of the Binder cumulant of the imaginary part of the Polyakov loop. We are able to explain a previously observed finite size effect afflicting the scaling of the Binder cumulant in the regime of three-phase coexistence. Compared to $N_\tau=4$ lattices, the tricritical masses are shifted towards smaller values. Exploratory results on $N_\tau=8$ as well as comparison with staggered simulations suggest that significantly finer lattices are needed before a continuum extrapolation becomes feasible.

  1. Topological properties around the Roberge-Weiss transition in $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ QCD

    hep-lat 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Along the Roberge-Weiss line in 2+1+1 flavor QCD, the topological charge cumulant b2 becomes compatible with the dilute instanton gas value as soon as T exceeds T_RW, like in pure gauge theory.

  2. The Roberge-Weiss endpoint in $(2+1)$-flavor QCD with background magnetic fields

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A background magnetic field lowers the Roberge-Weiss temperature in (2+1)-flavor QCD and turns the transition from second to first order between eB=1.0 and 2.5 GeV^2.

  3. On the nature of the QCD chiral phase transition with imaginary chemical potential

    hep-lat 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    First-order chiral regions observed on coarse staggered lattices disappear in tricritical points as the lattice spacing decreases at imaginary chemical potential, implying a second-order continuum transition.
