The Bielefeld Parma collaboration has recently put forward a method to investigate the QCD phase diagram based on the computation of Taylor series coefficients at both zero and imaginary values of the baryonic chemical potential. The method is based on the computation of multi-point Padè approximants. We review the methodological aspects of the computation and, in order to gain confidence in...
We report updated results on the determination of Lee-Yang edge (LYE) singularities in
We calculate Fourier coefficients of the net-baryon number as a function
of a purely imaginary chemical potential. The asymptotic behavior of
these coefficients is governed by the singularity structure of the QCD
partition function and thus encodes information on phase
transitions. Although it is not easy to obtain a high number of Fourier
coefficients from lattice QCD data directly,...
Knowledge of the screening masses at finite chemical potential can provide insight into the nature of the QCD phase diagram. However, lattice studies at finite chemical potential suffer from the well-known issue of the sign problem, which has made the calculation of observables such as screening correlators and screening masses at finite chemical potential quite challenging. One way to proceed...
In this talk we present our study of the electromagnetic conductivity in dense quark-gluon plasma obtained within lattice simulations with
We study the (2+1)-dimensional Gross-Neveu model in an external magnetic field. The model, which serves as a toy model for QCD, has been predicted by mean-field studies to exhibit a very rich phase structure in the plane spanned by temperature and chemical potential as the external field is varied. We investigate what remains of this phase structure beyond the mean-field approximation. Our...
In QCD at large enough isospin chemical potential Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) takes place, separated from the normal phase by a phase transition. From previous studies the location of the BEC line at the physical point is known. In the chiral limit the condensation happens already at infinitesimally small isospin chemical potential for zero temperature. The zero-density chiral transition...
At finite baryon chemical potential, the sign problem hinders Monte Carlo simulations which is remedied by a Dual Representation that makes the sign problem mild. At the strong coupling limit, the dual formulation with staggered quarks is well established. We have used this formulation to look at the quark mass dependence of the baryon mass and the nuclear transition which allows us to...
The Hamiltonian formulation of Lattice QCD with staggered fermions
in the strong coupling limit has no sign problem at non-zero baryon density
and allows for Quantum Monte Carlo simulations.
We have extended this formalism to two flavors,
and after a resummation, there is no sign problem
both for non-zero baryon and isospin chemical potential.
We report on recent progress on the...
The thermodynamics of QCD with sufficiently heavy dynamical quarks can be described by a three-dimensional Polyakov loop effective theory, after a truncated character and hopping expansion. We investigate the resulting phase diagram for low temperatures by mean field methods. Taking into account chemical potentials both for baryon number and isospin, we obtain clear signals for a liquid-gas...
At low temperature and large chemical potential QCD might exhibit a chiral inhomogeneous phase, as indicated by various simple low-energy models. One of these models is the 3+1-dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, which is non-renormalizable -- rendering the results possibly dependent on the employed regularization scheme. While most previously published results regarding the inhomogeneous...
We studied the 2+1 dimensional XY model at nonzero chemical potential on deformed integration manifolds with the aim of alleviating its sign problem. We investigated several proposals for the deformations and managed to considerably improve on the severity of the sign problem with respect to standard reweighting approaches. In this talk I present numerical evidence that a significant reduction...
We compute the equation of state of isospin asymmetric QCD at zero and non-zero temperatures using direct simulations of lattice QCD with three dynamical flavors at physical quark masses. In addition to the pressure, the trace anomaly and the approach to the continuum, we will particularly discuss the extraction of the speed of sound. Furthermore, we will discuss first steps towards the...

We present a new way of calculating the QCD equation of state(EoS) at finite chemical potential. Our method derives from the previously published method of exponential resummation. While exponential resummation does resum Taylor coefficients to all orders in
I will present recent results on the lattice QCD equation of state from the direct
reweighting approach advocated recently in 2004.10800 and 2108.09213. I will present direct results up to a baryochemical potential-to-temperature ratio of
We calculate a resummed equation of state with lattice QCD simulations at imaginary chemical potentials. This talk presents a generalization of the scheme introduced in our previous work to the case of non-zero
We present results up to
We present results on the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with two light quark flavours at finite chemical potential from first principle lattice simulations. To circumvent the sign problem we use the complex Langevin method. The pion mass is of approximately 480 MeV. We report on the pressure, energy and entropy equations of state. A particular emphasis is put on the “cold”...
Lattice simulations of non-zero density QCD introduce the so-called sign problem (complex or negative probabilities), which invalidates importance sampling methods. We use the Complex Langevin equation (CLE) to circumvent the sign problem, measure boundary terms and use reweighting to test the reliability of the boundary term observable, confirming expectations from previous studies.
We also...
