abstract

We present a lattice QCD based determination of the chiral phase transition temperature in QCD with two degenerate, massless quarks and a physical strange quark mass. We propose and calculate two novel estimators for the chiral transition temperature for several values of the light quark masses, corresponding to Goldstone pion masses in the range of $58~{\rm MeV}\lesssim m_\pi\lesssim 163~{\rm MeV}$. The chiral phase transition temperature is determined by extrapolating to vanishing pion mass using universal scaling analysis. Finite volume effects are controlled by extrapolating to the thermodynamic limit using spatial lattice extents in the range of $2.8$-$4.5$ times the inverse of the pion mass. Continuum extrapolations are carried out by using three different values of the lattice cut-off, corresponding to lattices with temporal extent $N_\tau=6,\ 8$ and $12$. After thermodynamic, continuum and chiral extrapolations we find the chiral phase transition temperature $T_c^0=132^{+3}_{-6}$ MeV.

  1. Lattice QCD constraints on the critical point from an improved precision equation of state

    hep-lat 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An improved lattice QCD equation of state, combined with entropy contours continued from imaginary chemical potential, excludes a QCD critical point below μB = 450 MeV at 2σ confidence.

  2. QCD Anderson transition with overlap valence quarks on a twisted-mass sea -- an update

    hep-lat 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New lattice data show the quark mobility edge in QCD stays near 86-88 MeV at temperatures close to the chiral transition, instead of vanishing as previously extrapolated.

  3. Renormalization group invariant mean-field model for QCD at finite isospin density

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A renormalization-group invariant mean-field quark-meson model with one fitted scale reproduces lattice QCD thermodynamics at finite isospin density and predicts a multicritical chiral/pion-condensation point in the c...

  4. A large size of the pion-like excitations in the stringy fluid above $T_{ch}$ is model independent and required by current algebra

    hep-ph 2026-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The author claims that the large swelling of pion-like excitations above the chiral transition is model-independent and required by current algebra, but the proof rests on an unproven two-option dichotomy.

  5. Isentropic thermodynamics across the hadron-quark mixed phase in a two-phase model with a PNJL quark description

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a two-phase RMF+PNJL model, isentropic trajectories through the hadron-quark mixed phase heat at low entropy per baryon and cool near the critical end point, with entropy-dependent speed-of-sound structures.

  6. On the nature of the QCD chiral phase transition with imaginary chemical potential

    hep-lat 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    First-order chiral regions observed on coarse staggered lattices disappear in tricritical points as the lattice spacing decreases at imaginary chemical potential, implying a second-order continuum transition.

  7. Finite-volume analysis and universal scaling signatures near the chiral phase transition in (2+1)-flavor QCD

    hep-lat 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New finite-volume lattice data for the subtracted chiral condensate agree with 3-d O(2) scaling for H<=1/160, while larger H violates the universal curve.

  8. Scaling functions in the soft-wall AdS/QCD models

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Soft-wall AdS/QCD models reproduce mean-field chiral scaling functions and follow a T_c scaling law whose slope, tuned by a modified potential, can approach Dyson-Schwinger results.

  9. Quark mass dependence of a QCD critical point and structure of the Columbia plot

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a truncated Dyson-Schwinger setup, the QCD critical point moves to higher temperature and lower baryon chemical potential as light quark masses decrease toward the chiral limit.
