The deconfinement phase transition of pure Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature is reflected in the behavior of gauge-fixed gluonic correlation functions. This is one of many examples of how physical information can be extracted from gauge-dependent correlations which is not always obvious. Here, we study the behavior of the Landau-gauge gluon propagator of pure SU(2) across the phase transition in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions in order to assess to what extend the corresponding critical behavior is reflected in these correlations. We discuss why it should emerge from a continuum perspective and test our expectations in lattice simulations. A comparison with SU(3) furthermore reveals quite clear indications for a sensitivity of the gluon propagator to the order of the transition.

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