Dynamic critical behavior of the chiral phase transition from the real-time functional renormalization group

Johannes V. Roth, Yunxin Ye, Sören Schlichting +1

In the chiral limit the complicated many-body dynamics around the second-order chiral phase transition of two-flavor QCD can be understood by appealing to universality. We present…
