The Chiral Critical Point in 3-Flavour QCD
read the original abstract
We determine the second order endpoint of the line of first order phase transitions, which occur in the light quark mass regime of 3-flavour QCD at finite temperature, and analyze universal properties of this chiral critical point. A detailed analysis of Binder cumulants and the joint probability distributions of energy like and ordering-field like observables confirms that the chiral critical point belongs to the universality class of the three dimensional Ising model. From a calculation with improved gauge and staggered fermion actions we estimate that the transition is first order for pseudo-scalar meson masses less than about 200 MeV.

Testing machine-learned distributions against Monte Carlo data for the QCD chiral phase transition
Conditional MAFs interpolate QCD chiral phase structure across coupling, mass, and volume, reproducing reweighting while cutting required ensembles despite bias near transitions.

Does hot QCD have a conformal manifold in the chiral limit?
An 't Hooft anomaly at general imaginary baryon chemical potential constrains the QCD chiral transition to three minimal CFT scenarios, with the favored one for N_f >= 3 featuring a conformal manifold of theta_B-depen...

Unified Functional-Holographic Theory of the QCD Critical End Point
A coupled DSE-FRG-holographic model predicts the QCD critical end point at T_CEP approximately 130-135 MeV and mu_B,CEP approximately 600 MeV, with sensitivity to regulator and normalization choices.
