In order to describe properties of an equilibrated quark-gluon plasma, QCD at finite temperature (and density) has to be considered. Besides lattice calculations, which can be applied only to static quantities at zero density, perturbative…

A QCD phase transition in the early universe could have left inhomogeneities in the baryon to photon ratio and in isospin that might have affected nucleosynthesis later on. At very high temperature QCD plasma can be described by…

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite density is most often formulated on the lattice as a grand canonical ensemble. Since lattice QCD has a complex action problem at finite baryo-chemical potential ($\mu_B$), its results at finite density…
