abstract

Thermal monopoles, identified after Abelian projection as magnetic currents wrapping non-trivially around the thermal circle, are studied in $N_f = 2+1$ QCD at the physical point. The distribution in the number of wrappings, which in pure gauge theories points to a condensation temperature coinciding with deconfinement, points in this case to around 275 MeV, almost twice the QCD crossover temperature $T_c$; similar indications emerge looking for the formation of a percolating current cluster. The possible relation with other non-perturbative phenomena observed above $T_c$ is discussed.

  1. Dirac mode localization in QCD near the crossover temperature

    hep-lat 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Low-lying Dirac modes in QCD localize at Tloc ≈ 155–158 MeV, the same temperature range as the chiral crossover.

  2. Centre vortex evidence for a second finite-temperature QCD transition

    hep-lat 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Centre vortex percolation persists through the chiral crossover in 2+1 flavour QCD and is lost near 321 MeV, suggesting a separate deconfinement transition at about 1.9 times the chiral transition temperature.
