From Magnetic to Inverse Magnetic Catalysis: The Interplay of Quark and Gluon Mass Generation in Magnetic Fields

Fei Gao, Kairen Huang, Yi Lu +1

We analyze the effects of the magnetic field on the quark and gluon propagators within the functional QCD framework. By solving the coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations for the quark…

Chiral Magnetic effect as the anomaly in the transverse axial vector Ward Identity

Fei Gao, Yi Lu, Minghui Ding +2

Through analyzing the quark propagator under the magnetic field, we establish that the axial anomaly originates from an additional Dirac structure in quark propagator induced by th…

Extracting freeze-out conditions in beam energy scan via functional QCD

Yi Lu, Christian S. Fischer, Fei Gao +2

Fluctuations of conserved charges provide a link between high quality theoretical results and precision measurements of heavy ion collisions. We compare results for ratios of the l…

The effect of charm quark on the QCD chiral phase diagram

Fei Gao, Yuepeng Guan, Shinya Matsuzaki

We study the influence of charm-quark dynamics on the chiral phase structure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) using the recently developed miniDSE scheme for the Dyson-Schwinger equ…

Flavor dependence of chiral symmetry breaking and the conformal window

Yi-huai Chen, Yi Lu, Zhi-wei Wang +2

We investigate the phase structure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in the vacuum as a function of quark flavor number within the chiral limit. By self-consistently solving th…

Revisiting the first-order QCD phase transition in dense strong interaction matter

Yi Lu, Fei Gao, Yu-xin Liu

We revisit the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD in the low temperature and high density region, where a strong, first-order phase transition is expected beyond the critica…
