On credit attribution and research software: A case study from lattice QCD
Alessandro Sciarra
Questions of authorship, credit attribution, and the recognition of research software contributions have become increasingly prominent in those constantly growing research areas fo…
Exact center symmetry and first-order phase transition in QCD with three degenerate dynamical quarks
Gergely Endrodi, Guy D. Moore, Adam Pieczynski +1
We study QCD with three degenerate flavors of dynamical quarks using first-principles lattice simulations. For a specific choice of imaginary isospin chemical potential, this theor…
The chiral phase transition in the 3D Columbia plot
Alessandro Sciarra
The nature of the chiral phase transition of QCD continues to represent a fundamental open problem in the study of strongly interacting matter. In recent years, significant progres…
First-order phase transition in dynamical 3-flavor QCD at imaginary isospin
Gergely Endrodi, Guy D. Moore, Alessandro Sciarra
We revisit QCD with three mass-degenerate quark flavors at an imaginary isospin chemical potential set to 4 pi T/3. This choice corresponds to a special point in the parameter spac…
