We evaluate thermodynamic observables such as pressure, baryon number, entropy and energy density, as well as the second and fourth order baryon number cumulants in the phase structure of QCD. The intertwined confinement and chiral dynamics is resolved within functional QCD, aiming for quantitative accuracy at larger densities. Specifically it is shown that the self-consistent resolution of the confining gluonic background is crucial in particular for even the qualitative properties of the cumulants. Our results are in quantitative agreement with lattice and functional QCD benchmarks at vanishing and small chemical potentials. Moreover, they offer novel insights in the dynamics at larger chemical potentials including the regime of the critical end point. A welcome by-product of this analysis is the computation of the Polyakov loop potential in finite density QCD, which, alongside the aforementioned observables, can be used as input and benchmark for effective theory computations at finite density.

Extraction of baryon number susceptibilities at finite density from heavy-ion collisions
From STAR proton fluctuation data, a Bayesian extraction constrains chi_2^B at freeze-out, matching lattice QCD below mu_B about 300 MeV and attributing the nonmonotonic C3/C1 to two-baryon correlations plus baryon co...

Fierz-complete four-quark interactions and the QCD phase diagram
Including Fierz-complete four-quark interactions in fRG-QCD shifts the predicted critical endpoint to (T, μ_B) = (102, 647) MeV and slightly increases the phase boundary curvature to κ₂ = 0.0151, while confirming σ an...

Physics of the gluon mass gap
The gluon mass gap, defined as the complex pole of the gluon propagator, is linearly tied to the deconfinement temperature, and both Tc and fπ are insensitive to deep-infrared deformations below the infrared inflection point.

Lee Yang edge singularities of QCD in association with Roberge-Weiss phase transition and chiral phase transition
Including a confining background field in Dyson-Schwinger equations makes Lee-Yang edge singularities terminate at the Roberge-Weiss line, mu_i = pi T / 3, above T = 0.235 GeV, while leaving the critical exponent unchanged.

Generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck approach to the thermodynamics of quark-hadron matter
Within a generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck cluster model, the paper concludes that chemical freeze-out of hadrons coincides with their Mott dissociation at the chiral crossover temperature.
