We show that lattice results on four flavor QCD at nonzero temperature and baryon density compare well with the hadron resonance gas model up to T approx. 0.95 Tc, and approach a free field behaviour with a reduced effective number of…
The classically perfect action of QCD requires no tuning to get the pion massless in the broken phase: the critical bare mass $m_q^c$ is zero. Neither the vector nor the flavour non-singlet axial vector currents need renormalization.…

$G_2$-QCD, in which the exceptional Lie group $G_2$ replaces the $SU(3)$ gauge group of QCD, does not suffer from a fermion sign problem. It can therefore be simulated also at comparatively low temperatures and high densities on the…
Suggested holographic duals of QCD, based on AdS/CFT duality, predict that one should be able to vary the scales of colour confinement and chiral-symmetry breaking independently. Furthermore they suggest that such independent variation of…
