Chiral phase structure and critical end point in QCD
read the original abstract
We map out the QCD phase structure at finite temperature and chemical potential for 2-flavour and 2 + 1-flavour QCD. This is done within a generalised functional approach to QCD put forward in arXiv:2002.07500 [hep-ph]. Specifically we compute the quark propagator and the finite-temperature and density fluctuations of the gluon propagator and the quark-gluon vertex on the basis of precision data for vacuum correlation functions. The novel ingredient is the direct self-consistent computation of the DSEs for the dressings of the quark-gluon vertex, in contrast to the common use of STI-inspired vertices. For small densities the results for the chiral order parameter agree with the respective lattice and functional renormalisation group results, for large densities the present results are in a quantitative agreement with the latter, including the location of the critical end point.

QCD critical surface from constant entropy contours
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 strang...

Chiral symmetry restoration effects onto the meson spectrum from a Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter approach
Varying interaction strength in DSE/BSE models produces meson degeneracies whose domains shrink with model realism, linked to quark propagator pole locations and possible chiral spin symmetry.

Dissecting the moat regime at low energies I: Renormalization and the phase structure
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 ...
