We study the end point of the first-order deconfinement phase transition in two and 2+1 flavor QCD in the heavy quark region of the quark mass parameter space. We determine the location of critical point at which the first-order…
The critical temperature and the nature of the QCD finite temperature phase transition are determined for Nf=2 dynamical flavors of nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions. The calculations are performed on large lattices with temporal…
Elucidating the phase diagram of lattice gauge theories with fermionic matter in 2+1 dimensions has become a problem of considerable interest in recent years, motivated by physical problems ranging from chiral symmetry breaking in…
We study QCD with three degenerate flavors of dynamical quarks using first-principles lattice simulations. For a specific choice of imaginary isospin chemical potential, this theory possesses an exact center symmetry, just like pure gauge…
We determine the continuum limit of the curvature of the pseudocritical line of QCD with $n_f$=2+1 staggered fermions at nonzero temperature and quark density. We perform Monte Carlo simulations at imaginary baryon chemical potentials,…
Numerical studies of the QCD phase diagram at finite baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$ on the lattice are impeded by a sign problem. Effective Polyakov loop theories derived from lattice QCD via combined strong-coupling and hopping…
A critical point (E) is expected in QCD on the temperature (T) versus baryonic chemical potential (\mu) plane. Using a recently proposed lattice method for \mu \neq 0 we study dynamical QCD with n_f=2+1 staggered quarks of physical masses…
We simulate lattice QCD with an irrelevant chiral 4-fermion interaction which allows us to simulate at zero quark mass. This enables us to study the finite-temperature chiral-symmetry-restoring phase transition for 2 massless quark…
We determine the curvature of the (pseudo)critical line of QCD with $n_f$=2+1 staggered fermions at nonzero temperature and quark density, by analytic continuation from imaginary chemical potentials. Monte Carlo simulations are performed…
We investigate the finite-temperature quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on a rotating lattice with $N_f=2+1$ staggered fermions and the projective plane boundary condition. We observe a negative rotational rigidity (defined in the main text) and…
The critical temperature is computed for N_f = 2 dynamical flavors of nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions. The new simulations are performed on lattices 40^3 x 14 with lattice spacing and pion mass about 0.08 fm and 200 MeV,…
We present results obtained in QCD with two flavors of non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions at finite temperature on $16^3 \times 8$ and $24^3 \times 10$ lattices. We determine the transition temperature in the range of quark masses…
In a progress toward searching for the QCD critical point, we study the finite density phase transition of $N_f = 4$ and 2 lattice QCD at finite temperature with the canonical ensemble approach. We develop a winding number expansion method…
Results on the thermal transition of QCD with 3 degenerate flavors, in the lower-left corner of the Columbia plot, are puzzling. The transition is expected to be first-order for massless quarks, and to remain so for a range of quark masses…
Quantum chromodynamics with two zero-mass flavors is expected to exhibit a phase transition with O(4) critical behavior. Fixing the universality class is important for phenomenology and for facilitating the extrapolation of simulation data…
At imaginary values of the quark chemical potential $\mu$, Quantum Chromodynamics shows an interesting phase structure due to an exact center, or Roberge-Weiss (RW), symmetry. This can be used to constrain QCD at real $\mu$, where the sign…
We investigate the chiral phase transition in the strong coupling lattice QCD (SC-LQCD) at finite temperature and density with finite coupling effects. We adopt one species of staggered fermion, and develop an analytic formulation based on…
The order of the thermal chiral phase transition in lattice QCD is known to be strongly cutoff-dependent. A previous study using $N_\mathrm{f}\in[2,6]$ mass-degenerate, unimproved staggered quark flavours on $N_\tau\in\{4,6,8\}$ lattices…
Recent results for the QCD phase structure at finite temperature and light-quark chemical potential are summarized, where the cases of N_f = 2 + 1 and N_f = 2+1+1 dynamical quark flavors are considered. Order parameters for the chiral and…
A canonical ensemble algorithm is employed to study the phase diagram of $N_f = 3$ QCD using lattice simulations. We lock in the desired quark number sector using an exact Fourier transform of the fermion determinant. We scan the phase…
