The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

We review results for the phase diagram of QCD, the properties of quarks and gluons and
the resulting properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature and chemical …

We discuss the phase structure of QCD for N f= 2 and N f= 2+ 1 dynamical quark flavors at
finite temperature and baryon chemical potential. It emerges dynamically from the …

The current status of theoretical studies on the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase
diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is reviewed with special …

In this paper, we present an overview on recent progress in studies of QCD at finite
temperature and densities within the functional renormalization group (fRG) approach. The …

This exhaustive survey is the result of a four year effort by many leading researchers in the
field to produce both a readable introduction and a yardstick for the many upcoming …

The relation between the deconfinement and chiral phase transition is explored in the
framework of a Polyakov-loop-extended two-flavor quark-meson (PQM) model. In this model …

We study the influence of global baryon number conservation on the non-critical baseline of
net baryon cumulants in heavy-ion collisions in a given acceptance, accounting for the …

We present a quantitative analysis of chiral symmetry breaking in two-flavor continuum QCD
in the quenched limit. The theory is set up at perturbative momenta, where asymptotic …

The chiral condensate, which is constant in vacuum, may become spatially modulated at
moderately high densities where in the traditional picture of the QCD phase diagram a first …
