We review important aspects of QCD in the continuum and on the lattice and take a look at the fate of its symmetries with an emphasis on chiral symmetry breaking on the lattice.
QCD under extreme conditions has been studied for a long time, and the chiral limit has been a grey area mostly. In this write-up of my talk, I review some of the recent developments made by the community to unveil various features of QCD…
This is an informal overview of methods and results on the QCD phase diagram and lattice termodynamics aimed at specialists in nearby fields.
A perspective on charm physics, emphasizing recent developments, future prospects, and the interplay with lattice QCD.
We unveil the impact of the $\theta$-angle on the QCD phase diagram at nonzero isospin and strangeness chemical potentials for three light flavors and different quark mass ratios. We establish the phase boundaries as well as the nature of…
The variety of the phase transitions in Induced QCD are studied. Depending upon the parameters in the scalar field potential, there could be infinite number of fixed points, with different critical behavior. The integral equation for the…
The past few years have seen many interesting theoretical developments in lattice QCD. This talk (which is intended for non-experts) focuses on the problem of non-perturbative renormalization and the question of how precisely the continuum…
We study the QCD phase diagram, in particular we study the critical points of the two main QCD phase transitions, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. Confinement drives chiral symmetry breaking, and, due to the finite quark mass, at…
We discuss the potential of the experimental programme at NICA to investigate the QCD phase diagram and particularly the position of the critical line at large baryon-chemical potential with accurate measurements of particle multiplicities.…
I first sketch recent developments concerning the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter as a function of temperature and baryon density, obtained using a model for two-flavor QCD in which the interaction between quarks is modelled on…
Some recent developments in the theory of quantum spin systems are reviewed.
We discuss the new era of precision QCD as it relates to the physics requirements of the LHC for both the signal and background type processes. Some attention is paid to the issue of the theoretical error associated with any given…
One of the distinctive feature of the QCD phase diagram is the possible emergence of a critical endpoint. The critical region around the critical point and the path dependency of the critical exponents is investigated within effective…
Critical phenomena emerging from the critical end point of a first-order transition are ubiquitous in nature. Here we bring the concept of a supercritical crossover, the Widom line, initially developed in the context of fluids, into the…
A general procedure for studying finite-N effects in quantum phase transitions of finite systems is presented and applied to the critical-point dynamics of nuclei undergoing a shape-phase transition of second-order (continuous), and of…
A fundamental question in QCD is the existence of a phase transition at large doping of quarks over antiquarks. We present the first prediction of a QCD critical point (CP) from a Bayesian analysis constrained by first principle results at…
In this talk we summarize some recent developments in perturbative QCD and their application to particle physics phenomenology.
QCD is now a mature theory, and it is possible to begin to view its place in the conceptual universe of physics with appropriate perspective. There is a certain irony in the achievements of QCD. For the problems which initially drove its…
Lattice QCD is progressing toward being able to impact our understanding of nuclei and nuclear processes. I discuss areas of nuclear physics that are becoming possible to explore with lattice QCD, the techniques that are currently available…
