New phases in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential
Masanori Hanada, Jack Holden, Hiromasa Watanabe
Understanding the phases of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and baryon density is crucial for describing matter in heavy-ion collisions and the interior of neutr…

Comments on "Ether of Orbifolds"
Masanori Hanada
We comment on a recent manuscript "Ether of Orbifolds" by Henry Lamm. In the first version, it was mistakenly claimed that the orbifold lattice Hamiltonian is not gauge invariant,…

A new perspective on thermal transition in QCD
Masanori Hanada, Hiroki Ohata, Hidehiko Shimada +1
Motivated by the picture of partial deconfinement developed in recent years for large- gauge theories, we propose a new way of analyzing and understanding thermal phase transiti…
