Neither the chiral limit nor finite baryon density can be simulated directly in lattice QCD, which severely limits our understanding of the QCD phase diagram. In this review I collect results for the phase structure in an extended parameter space of QCD, with varying numbers of flavours, quark masses, colours, lattice spacings, imaginary and isospin chemical potentials. Such studies help in understanding the underlying symmetries and degrees of freedom, and are beginning to provide a consistent picture constraining the possibilities for the physical phase diagram.

    For eight-flavor QCD the Roberge-Weiss transition temperature vanishes in the chiral limit, placing the theory inside the conformal window.

    In the 't Hooft-Veneziano limit the Polyakov loop model with exact static quark determinant reduces to a deformed unitary matrix model that is solved exactly, yielding free energy, Polyakov loop expectation value, qua...
