Resonances at finite temperature from the lattice

Jakob Hoffmann, Peter Lowdon, Owe Philipsen

The properties of hadronic resonances at finite temperature constitute an important probe of the thermal QCD medium. In this work we use the concept of thermoparticles, which chara…

Towards a consistent perturbation theory at finite temperature

Passant Ali, Peter Lowdon, Owe Philipsen

The standard approach to perturbation theory for finite-temperature quantum field theories has several issues, including the appearance of ill-defined on-shell contributions in the…

On the phase structure of massless many-flavour QCD with staggered fermions

Jan Philipp Klinger, Reinhold Kaiser, Owe Philipsen +1

When the number of massless fermions exceeds a critical value , QCD enters the conformal window and becomes chirally symmetric already in the vacuum. Determining fro…

Emergent chiral spin symmetry, non-perturbative dynamics and thermoparticles in hot QCD

Owe Philipsen

Several non-perturbative results for hot QCD are challenging some aspects of the phase diagram and its associated degrees of freedom which were previously believed to be well under…

On the nature of the QCD chiral phase transition with imaginary chemical potential

Alfredo D'Ambrosio, Michael Fromm, Reinhold Kaiser +1

The order of the thermal chiral phase transition in lattice QCD is known to be strongly cutoff-dependent. A previous study using mass-degenerate, unimproved…

From deconfinement to nuclear matter: mean-field approaches for effective Polyakov loop theories of lattice QCD

Christoph Konrad, Owe Philipsen

Numerical studies of the QCD phase diagram at finite baryon chemical potential on the lattice are impeded by a sign problem. Effective Polyakov loop theories derived from lat…
