In QCD with two massless quarks, the chiral phase transition is plausibly in the same universality class as the classical O(4) magnet. To test this hypothesis, critical exponents characterizing the behaviour of universal quantities near the…

We point out that, in analogy with spin waves in antiferromagnets, all parameters describing the real-time propagation of soft pions at temperatures below the QCD chiral phase transition can be expressed in terms of static correlators. This…
We investigate the low-temperature phase of QCD and the crossover region with two light flavors of quarks. The chiral expansion around the point $(T, m_q = 0)$ in the temperature vs. quark-mass plane indicates that a sharp real-time…
We consider the problem of Bose condensation of charged pions in QCD at finite isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$ using the O(4)-symmetric linear sigma model as an effective field theory for two-flavor QCD. Using the 2PI $1/N$-expansion, we…

Dense QCD matter may exhibit crystalline phases. Their existence is reflected in a moat regime, where mesonic correlations feature spatial modulations. We study the realtime properties of pions at finite temperature and density in QCD in…
The two pion channel in Lattice QCD has long been a primary testing ground for studying multiparticle scattering in finite volume QCD. With the development of sophisticated techniques such as distillation, it is possible to carefully study…
