QCD on the 16-cell honeycomb

Sandor D. Katz, Daniel Nogradi

We formulate QCD discretized on the four dimensional 16-cell honeycomb. The advantage is a higher degree of rotational symmetry as compared to a traditional cubic lattice leading t…

The crossover line in the -phase diagram of QCD

Jana N. Guenther, Szabolcs Borsányi, Zoltan Fodor +6

An efficient way to study the QCD phase diagram at small finite density is to extrapolate thermodynamical observables from imaginary chemical potential. The phase diagram features…

Continuum extrapolated high order baryon fluctuations

Szabolcs Borsányi, Zoltán Fodor, Jana N. Guenther +6

Fluctuations play a key role in the study of QCD phases. Lattice QCD is a valuable tool to calculate them, but going to high orders is challenging. Up to the fourth order, continuu…

Can rooted staggered fermions describe nonzero baryon density at low temperatures?

Szabolcs Borsanyi, Zoltan Fodor, Matteo Giordano +4

Research on the QCD phase diagram with lattice field theory methods is dominated by the use of rooted staggered fermions, as they are the computationally cheapest discretization av…

Equation of state of a hot-and-dense quark gluon plasma: lattice simulations at real vs. extrapolations

Szabolcs Borsanyi, Zoltan Fodor, Matteo Giordano +4

The equation of state of the quark gluon plasma is a key ingredient of heavy ion phenomenology. In addition to the traditional Taylor method, several novel approximation schemes ha…

Exponential reduction of the sign problem at finite density in the 2+1D XY model via contour deformations

Matteo Giordano, Kornel Kapas, Sandor D Katz +2

We study the 2+1 dimensional XY model at nonzero chemical potential on deformed integration manifolds, with the aim of alleviating its sign problem. We investigate several prop…
