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…

Temperature Dependence of Heavy Quark Diffusion from (2+1)-flavor Lattice QCD
Dennis Bollweg, Jorge Luis Dasilva Golán, Olaf Kaczmarek +7
We present a lattice determination of the heavy-quark diffusion coefficient in (2+1)-flavor QCD with almost physical quark masses. The momentum and spatial diffusion coefficients a…

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…
