QCD: Restoration of Chiral Symmetry and Deconfinement for Large N_f
read the original abstract
Exploiting the recent lattice results for the infrared gluon propagator with light dynamical quarks, we solve the gap equation for the quark propagator. We thus model the chiral symmetry breaking mechanism with increasing number of flavours and study confinement (intimately tied with the analytic properties of QCD Schwinger functions) order parameters. We obtain, with this approach, clear signals of chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement when the number of light quark flavors exceeds a critical value of $N_f^c \approx 8 \pm 1$, in agreement with the state-of-the-art direct lattice analysis of chiral symmetry restoration in QCD.

The Roberge-Weiss transition as a probe for conformality in many-flavor QCD
For eight-flavor QCD the Roberge-Weiss transition temperature vanishes in the chiral limit, placing the theory inside the conformal window.

Elastic Form Factors of Axial-Vector Mesons: A Contact Interaction Exploration
A contact interaction model in the Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter framework produces elastic form factors for axial-vector mesons, with the electric form factor crossing zero at lower momentum than for vector mesons a...
