In QCD with two flavors of massless quarks, the chiral phase transition is plausibly in the same universality class as the classical four component Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Therefore, renormalization group techniques developed in the…
We show that in the presence of spinodal instabilities which develop at a first order phase transition, the fluctuations of conserved charges can be as strong as those at the critical end point (CEP). In particular, the net baryon number…
Baryon number fluctuations are sensitive to the QCD phase transition and QCD critical point. According to the Feynman rules of finite-temperature field theory, we calculated various order moments and cumulants of the baryon number…

Previous results on fermion chirality-flipping four-point functions are extended to $SU(N)$ gauge theories. The problem is purely non-perturbative, and it is approached by truncating the Schwinger-Dyson hierarchy. The large-$N$ limit also…

We investigate the relevant gluon-momentum region for confinement in lattice QCD on $16^4$ at $\beta$=5.7, 5.8 and 6.0, based on the Fourier expansion. We find that the string tension $\sigma$, i.e., the confining force, is almost unchanged…
