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…

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…

Semiclassical analysis of the bifundamental QCD on with 't Hooft flux
Yui Hayashi, Yuya Tanizaki, Hiromasa Watanabe
We study the phase structure of bifundamental quantum chromodynamics (QCD(BF)), which is the -dimensional gauge theory coupled with the bifundamental fermio…
