Axial Symmetry Breaking in Hot QCD: From Topology to the Chiral Phase Transition

Heng-Tong Ding

Heating matter can restore symmetries spontaneously broken at low temperature. The axial symmetry of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is different: it is present in the classica…

QCD Chiral Crossover Line from Lee-Yang Edge Singularities

Heng-Tong Ding, Swagato Mukherjee, Peter Petreczky +1

We propose a universality-based reconstruction of the QCD chiral crossover line from Lee-Yang edge singularities in the complex baryon chemical potential plane. The framework maps…

Static Quark-Antiquark Interactions Under Rotation

Heng-Tong Ding, Olaf Kaczmarek, Ran Luo +1

We study static quark--antiquark interactions in rotating SU(3) gluodynamics using quenched lattice simulations at imaginary angular velocity. At zero temperature, we extract the s…

Chiral and symmetries in background magnetic fields from lattice QCD

Heng-Tong Ding, José Javier Hernández Hernández, Dan Zhang

We study chiral symmetry and singlet symmetry in QCD in a background magnetic field using lattice QCD. We first clarify the neutral-sector symmetry structure in a pure mag…

Isospin-Driven Splitting of Chemical Potentials in Isobar Collisions from Lattice QCD

Heng-Tong Ding, Jin-Biao Gu, Arpith Kumar +1

Strong magnetic fields produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions can modify fluctuations of conserved charges and, consequently, their associated chemical potentials. We presen…

QCD in strong magnetic fields: fluctuations of conserved charges and equation of state

Heng-Tong Ding, Jin-Biao Gu, Arpith Kumar +1

We present continuum-estimated (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD results for second-order fluctuations of conserved charges and the leading-order equation of state in the presence of strong…

Lattice QCD at finite temperature and density

Heng-Tong Ding

I review recent lattice results on strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, with emphasis on the finite-temperature QCD transition at , its approach toward the…

Chiral Properties of -Flavor QCD in Magnetic Fields at Zero Temperature

Heng-Tong Ding, Dan Zhang

We present a lattice QCD study of the chiral properties of -flavor QCD in background magnetic fields at zero temperature with physical pion masses. Simulations are perfo…

Shear and bulk viscosities of the gluon plasma across the transition temperature from lattice QCD

Heng-Tong Ding, Hai-Tao Shu, Cheng Zhang

We investigate the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity () and bulk viscosity () of the gluon plasma using lattice QCD over the range 0.76--2.25, extending fr…

Lattice-QCD validation of hadron mass and trace-anomaly decomposition sum rules

Dennis Bollweg, Heng-Tong Ding, Xiang Gao +2

We present the first lattice-QCD validation of multiple sum rules associated with quark-gluon decomposition of hadron mass by computing all components from first principles. We ach…

QCD Crossover at Low Temperatures from Lee-Yang Edge Singularity

D. A. Clarke, H. -T. Ding, J. -B. Gu +6

We provide the first lattice-QCD estimate of the crossover line down to ~MeV. We introduce a new method that combines the Lee-Yang edge in the complex plane of baryon c…
