abstract
The so-called Columbia plot summarises the order of the QCD thermal transition as a function of the number of quark flavours and their masses. Recently, it was demonstrated that the first-order chiral transition region, as seen for $N_f \in [ 3,6 ]$ on coarse lattices, exhibits tricritical scaling while extrapolating to zero on sufficiently fine lattices. Here we extend these studies to imaginary baryon chemical potential. A similar shrinking of the first-order region is observed with decreasing lattice spacing, which again appears compatible with a tricritical extrapolation to zero.

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

Quark mass dependence of a QCD critical point and structure of the Columbia plot
In a truncated Dyson-Schwinger setup, the QCD critical point moves to higher temperature and lower baryon chemical potential as light quark masses decrease toward the chiral limit.
