We calculate the baryon chemical potential ($\mu_B$) dependence of thermodynamic observables, i.e., pressure, baryon number density and susceptibility by lattice QCD using the canonical approach. We compare the results with those by the…
Considering one-dimensional nonminimally-coupled lattice gauge theories, a class of nonlocal one-dimensional systems is presented, which exhibits a phase transition. It is shown that the transition has a latent heat, and, therefore, is a…
It was shown that in the canonical ensemble the simple exactly soluble statistical model of nuclei decay into nucleons, which is a limiting case of the statistical multifragmentation model, predicts the nuclear first order phase transition…
We present experimental evidence for a first-order freezing/melting phase transition in a nonequilibrium system -- an oscillated two-dimensional isobaric granular fluid. The steady-state transition occurs between a gas and a crystal and is…
We provide a short review of the progress made in the past decade with functional QCD in the description of the phase structure of QCD. We summarise the most important technical aspects of the framework, discuss strategies for truncations…
We propose a class of models exhibiting instanton crystal phase. In this phase, the minimum of the free energy corresponds to a configuration with an imaginary-time-dependent order parameter in a form of a chain of alternating instantons…

A spatially extended classical system with metastable states subject to weak spatiotemporal noise can exhibit a transition in its activation behavior when one or more external parameters are varied. Depending on the potential, the…
The nuclear liquid-gas transition from a gas of hadrons to a nuclear phase cannot be determined numerically from conventional lattice QCD due to the severe sign problem at large values of the baryon chemical potential. In the strong…
We demonstrate that a large class of first-order quantum phase transitions, namely, transitions in which the ground state energy per particle is continuous but its first order derivative has a jump discontinuity, can be described as a…
The paper is devoted to retrieval of the first order phase transition signal in the inelastic collisions. The primary intent is to show that the experimentally observable signal exist iff the multiplicity is sufficiently large. We discuss…
A dilaton potential is adjusted to recently confirmed lattice QCD thermodynamics data in the temperature range $(0.7 \ldots 3.5) T_c$ where $T_c = 155 \text{MeV}$ is the pseudo-critical temperature. The employed holographic model is based…
In realistic technicolor models containing many fermions, the electroweak baryogenesis offers a natural scenario for generating baryon number asymmetry. One of the key ingredients is the occurrence of the first order phase transition at…
Classical phase transitions, like solid-liquid-gas or order-disorder spin magnetic phases, are all driven by thermal energy fluctuations by varying the temperature. On the other hand, quantum phase transitions happen at absolute zero…
