QCD phase diagram for nonzero isospin-asymmetry

BB Brandt, G Endrődi, S Schmalzbauer - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
The QCD phase diagram is studied in the presence of an isospin asymmetry using
continuum extrapolated staggered quarks with physical masses. In particular, we investigate …

Modeling finite-volume effects and chiral symmetry breaking in two-flavor QCD thermodynamics

B Klein - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Finite-volume effects in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) have been a subject of much
theoretical interest for more than two decades. They are in particular important for the …

Complex Langevin dynamics and other approaches at finite chemical potential

G Aarts - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.3028, 2013 - arxiv.org
I review the presence of the sign problem in lattice QCD at nonzero baryon density and its
relation with the overlap and Silver Blaze problems. I then discuss progress in some cases …
