Abstract
We simulate two-flavour lattice QCD with at a finite chemical potential for isospin, and finite temperature. At small , we determine the position of the crossover from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma as a function of . At larger we observe the phase transition from the superfluid pion-condensed phase to a quark-gluon plasma, noting its change from second order to first order as is increased. We also simulate two-flavour lattice QCD at zero quark mass, using an action which includes an additional 4-fermion interaction, at temperatures close to the chiral transition on lattices.
