The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

  • Among the quarks themselves, the light ones, which receive most of their masses at the quark-gluon transition, have a significant influence on the transition itself: the dependence of the value of the pseudocritical temperature(s) as well as of the nature of the transition on the masses of light current quark masses, as well as the role of the strange quark mass around $T_c$ have been studied at a great length, and the current status of our understanding of the sensitivity of the phase diagram to the light degrees of freedom is for instance summarized in the so-called Columbia plot [ref] .
