We present results on both the restoration of the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry and the effective restoration of the anomalously broken U(1)_A symmetry in finite temperature QCD at zero chemical potential using lattice QCD. We employ domain wall fermions on lattices with fixed temporal extent N_\tau = 8 and spatial extent N_\sigma = 16 in a temperature range of T = 139 - 195 MeV, corresponding to lattice spacings of a \approx 0.12 - 0.18 fm. In these calculations, we include two degenerate light quarks and a strange quark at fixed pion mass m_\pi = 200 MeV. The strange quark mass is set near its physical value. We also present results from a second set of finite temperature gauge configurations at the same volume and temporal extent with slightly heavier pion mass. To study chiral symmetry restoration, we calculate the chiral condensate, the disconnected chiral susceptibility, and susceptibilities in several meson channels of different quantum numbers. To study U(1)_A restoration, we calculate spatial correlators in the scalar and pseudo-scalar channels, as well as the corresponding susceptibilities. Furthermore, we also show results for the eigenvalue spectrum of the Dirac operator as a function of temperature, which can be connected to both U(1)_A and chiral symmetry restoration via Banks-Casher relations.

  1. Dirac mode localization in QCD near the crossover temperature

    hep-lat 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Low-lying Dirac modes in QCD localize at Tloc ≈ 155–158 MeV, the same temperature range as the chiral crossover.

  2. Unified Functional-Holographic Theory of the QCD Critical End Point

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A coupled DSE-FRG-holographic model predicts the QCD critical end point at T_CEP approximately 130-135 MeV and mu_B,CEP approximately 600 MeV, with sensitivity to regulator and normalization choices.

  3. Meson Screening Masses in (2+1)-Flavor QCD

    hep-lat 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Continuum-extrapolated lattice QCD screening masses show vector-axial-vector degeneracy at Tpc and scalar-pseudoscalar degeneracy near 1.3Tpc, while J=0 and J=1 channels remain split up to 2.5 GeV.

  4. Probing the chiral and $U(1)$ axial symmetry restoration via meson susceptibilities in holographic QCD

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a soft-wall holographic QCD model, chiral symmetry restores at ~155 MeV while the U(1) axial symmetry restores near 190 MeV — a separation the authors present despite an admitted mismatch with lattice QCD below 175 MeV.

  5. Quark mass dependence of a QCD critical point and structure of the Columbia plot

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  6. Lattice gradient flows (de-)stabilizing topological sectors

    hep-lat 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Iwasaki and DBW2 gradient flows keep the topological charge of SU(2) gauge configurations stable at long flow times, unlike Wilson and Symanzik flows; DBW2 quantizes the charge already near t=0.5.

    hep-lat 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    On an Nτ=8 MDWF lattice, the non-singlet chiral symmetry restores at Tpc=158.7 MeV, while the UA(1) singlet symmetry remains effectively broken up to 186 MeV, as inferred from the temperature dependence of the topolog...

    Lattice simulations with Möbius domain-wall fermions find the three-flavor QCD transition at mu_B=0 is a continuous crossover at pseudocritical quark masses of 184(10) MeV (Nt=6), 36-39 MeV (Nt=8), and 3.5-3.7 MeV (Nt...

  9. Study of symmetries in finite temperature $N_f=2$ QCD with M\"obius Domain Wall Fermions

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Screening-mass measurements in N_f=2 lattice QCD with Möbius domain-wall fermions indicate SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R and axial U(1)_A restoration near T_c ~ 165 MeV, while SU(2)_CS shows no clear emergence.

  10. Axial U(1) symmetry, topology, and Dirac spectra at high temperature in $N_f=2$ lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In high-temperature two-flavor lattice QCD, the axial U(1) and topological susceptibilities nearly vanish at small quark mass, consistent with axial U(1) symmetry restoration in the chiral limit.
