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

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

  2. Emergent chiral spin symmetry, non-perturbative dynamics and thermoparticles in hot QCD

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Lattice data indicate hot QCD features an intermediate phase with emergent chiral spin symmetry and thermoparticles as thermal constituents, differing from perturbative expectations.
