We investigate the phase diagram of QCD with heavy quarks at finite temperature and chemical potential in the context of background field methods. In particular, we use a massive extension of the Landau-DeWitt gauge which is motivated by…

We use the linear sigma model with quarks to locate the critical end point in the effective QCD phase diagram accounting for fluctuations in temperature and quark chemical potential. For this purpose, we use the non-equilibrium formalism…

We report progress towards computing the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient from the correlator of two chromo-electric fields attached to a Polyakov loop in pure SU(3) gauge theory. Using a multilevel algorithm and tree-level…

We study the phase diagram of the ferromagnetic $q$-state Potts model on the various three-dimensional lattices for integer and non-integer values of $q>1$. Our approach is based on a thermodynamically self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike…

The critical endpoint of the QCD phase diagram is usually expected to belong to the chiral critical surface, i.e. the surface of second order transitions bounding the region of first order chiral phase transitions for small quark masses in…

We use the two-flavor Linear Sigma Model with quarks as an effective description of QCD to investigate the nature of the chiral phase transition at finite baryon chemical potential and zero temperature. We work at one-loop order to set up…

We study the finite temperature phase structure for three-flavor QCD with a focus on locating the critical point which separates crossover and first order phase transition region in the chiral regime of the Columbia plot. In this study, we…

We consider the $Q$-state Potts model on $\mathbb Z^d$, $Q\ge 3$, $d\ge 2$, with Kac ferromagnetic interactions and scaling parameter $\ga$. We prove the existence of a first order phase transition for large but finite potential ranges.…

We propose a method to find the QCD critical point at finite density calculating the canonical partition function ${\cal Z}_{\rm C} (T,N)$ by Monte-Carlo simulations of lattice QCD, and analyze data obtained by a simulation with two-flavor…

I explore the rich phase diagram of two-flavor QCD as a function of the quark masses. The theory involves three parameters, including one that is CP violating. As the masses vary, regions of both first and second order transitions are…

We simulate one-flavor QCD with standard Wilson fermions at finite temperature by the rational hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. In the heavy quark region when we decrease the quark mass there is an endpoint which terminates the first order…

The thermodynamic properties of high temperature and high density QCD-matter are explored within the Chiral SU(3)-flavor parity-doublet Polyakov-loop quark-hadron mean-field model, CMF. The quark sector of the CMF model is tuned to describe…

I report on a study of finite temperature QCD by the CP-PACS Collaboration toward a precise determination of the equation of state with dynamical u,d quarks. Based on a systematic simulation using improved Wilson-type quarks on lattices…

QCD at zero baryon density in the limit of infinite quark mass undergoes a first order deconfinement phase transition at a critical temperature $T_c$ corresponding to the breaking of the global centre symmetry. In the presence of dynamical…

This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a doctoral dissertation that contained also three original articles, hep-ph/0212283, hep-ph/0305183 and hep-ph/0311323. Our purpose is to review the history and present…

We explore the phase diagram spanned by the temperature and the chemical potential for 4-flavor QCD by the phase-reweighting approach. In order to determine the order of phase transition, we perform finite size scaling studies for various…

We study finite-temperature phase transition and equation of state for two-flavor QCD at $N_t=4$ using an RG-improved gauge action and a meanfield-improved clover quark action. The pressure is computed using the integral method. The O(4)…

We investigate the phase structure of lattice QCD for the general number of flavors in the parameter space of gauge coupling constant and quark mass, employing the one-plaquette gauge action and the standard Wilson quark action. Performing…

Two parameters that have a strong influence on the finite temperature QCD transition, and play an important role in various physical scenarios are the quark density and the external magnetic field. The effect of these parameters on the…

Within a phenomenological quasiparticle model, the quark mass and temperature dependence of the QCD equation of state is discussed and compared with lattice QCD results. Different approximations for the quasiparticle dispersion relations…
