At temperatures well above the transition, QCD admits a thermally reduced version in 3D, which reproduces the long distance physics. We analyze the phase diagram, point out the relevance of Z(3) symmetry in the location of the transition…
We propose a method to probe the nature of phase transitions in lattice QCD at finite temperature and density, which is based on the investigation of an effective potential as a function of the average plaquette. We analyze data obtained in…
We study the running of the QCD coupling with the momentum squared ($Q^2$) and the temperature scales in the high temperature limit ($T > T_{c}$), using a mass dependent renormalization scheme to build the Renormalization Group Equations.…

Low energy effective theories give access to regimes of the QCD phase diagram that to date are hard to simulate directly with lattice QCD or with functional approaches. For lattice QCD this includes the small temperature and/or large…

Textbooks introduce the Debye temperature to simplify the integration of the heat capacity. This approach gives the impression that the Debye temperature is a parameter which makes the integration more convenient. The Debye frequency cut…
Most of the poorly known parameters of the Standard Model cannot be determined without reliable calculations in nonperturbative QCD. Lattice gauge theory provides a first-principles definition of the required functional integrals, and hence…
We present for the first time a self-contained calculation of the QCD running coupling at finite temperature and quark chemical potential, alpha_s(T, mu), based on a semiclassical background field method. The hard thermal/dense loop results…
It is shown that after a resummation of leading high-temperature contributions, a complete and gauge-independent result for the nonabelian Debye screening mass at next-to-leading order can be extracted from the static gluon propagator. In…
Nonperturbative inequalities constrain the thermodynamic pressure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with its phase-quenched version, a Sign-Problem-free theory amenable to lattice treatment. In the perturbative regime with a small QCD…
