Abstract
The application of Riemannian geometry to the analysis of the equilibrium thermodynamics in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and baryon density gives a new method to evaluate the critical temperature, , of the deconfinement transition. In the confined phase, described by the thermodynamic geometry of the Hadron Resonance Gas, the estimate of turns out completely consistent with lattice QCD simulations of the quark-gluon plasma phase if the hadron excluded volume and the interaction effects are taken into account.
