The present paper concludes our investigation on the QCD equation of state with 2 + 1 staggered flavors and one-link stout improvement. We extend our previous study [JHEP 01 (2006) 089] by choosing even finer lattices. Lattices with N-t = 6, 8 and 10 are used, and the continuum limit is approached by checking the results at N-t = 12. A Symanzik improved gauge and a stout-link improved staggered fermion action is utilized. We use physical quark masses, that is, for the lightest staggered pions and kaons we fix the m(pi)/f(K) and m(K)/f(K) ratios to their experimental values. The pressure, the interaction measure, the energy and entropy density and the speed of sound are presented as functions of the temperature in the range 100 ... 1000MeV. We give estimates for the pion mass dependence and for the contribution of the charm quark. We compare our data to the equation of state obtained by the hotQCD collaboration.

Towards a reliable lower bound on the location of the critical endpoint

M. Giordano, K. Kapas, S. D. Katz, D. Nogradi, A. Pasztor

Summary: This study provides the first direct determination of the leading singularity of pressure in the complex chemical potential mu(B) plane in lattice QCD, without relying on a finite-order truncation of the Taylor expansion. By redefining the fermion determinant, the analyticity issues in the complex mu(B) plane of QCD with rooted staggered fermions are solved. The analysis shows that the radius of convergence near the crossover temperature at zero chemical potential is approximately mu(B)/T, which is independent of temperature.

Neural Network Study for 1+1d-Complex Scalar Field Theory

Kai Zhou, Gergely Endrodi, Long-Gang Pang, Horst Stoecker

Summary: The study demonstrates the application of modern deep learning techniques in two-dimensional lattice complex scalar field theory, showing that deep neural networks can semi-supervisedly identify phase transitions and discover hidden correlations, efficiently learn physical observables, and generate new configurations using GANs.

The crossover line in the (T, μ)-phase diagram of QCD

Jana N. Guenther, Szabolcs Borsanyi, Zoltan Fodor, Ruben Kara, Sandor D. Katz, Paolo Parotto, Attila Pasztor, Claudia Ratti, Kalman K. Szabo

Summary: An efficient method to study the QCD phase diagram at small finite density is to extrapolate thermodynamical observables from imaginary chemical potential. The phase diagram features a crossover line starting from the transition temperature already determined at zero chemical potential. In this work, the focus is on the Taylor expansion of this line up to mu(4) contributions, and the continuum extrapolation of the crossover temperature based on different observables at several lattice spacings is presented.

Pion Condensation in the Early Universe at Nonvanishing Lepton Flavor Asymmetry and Its Gravitational Wave Signatures

Volodymyr Vovchenko, Bastian B. Brandt, Francesca Cuteri, Gergely Endrodi, Fazlollah Hajkarim, Juergen Schaffner-Bielich

Summary: By investigating the potential formation of a Bose-Einstein condensed phase of pions in the early Universe, it is found that the cosmic trajectory can pass through the pion condensed phase when the combined electron and muon asymmetry is sufficiently large. Future studies will be able to confirm or rule out the condensation of pions, as well as reveal the impact of the pion condensed phase on the spectrum of primordial gravitational waves and the mass distribution of primordial black holes.

Lattice QCD Equation of State at Finite Chemical Potential from an Alternative Expansion Scheme

S. Borsanyi, Z. Fodor, J. N. Guenther, R. Kara, S. D. Katz, P. Parotto, A. Pasztor, C. Ratti, K. K. Szabo

Summary: This Letter introduces a new scheme for extrapolating the equation of state of QCD to finite chemical potential with improved convergence properties, allowing extension to high baryonic chemical potentials. The continuum extrapolated lattice results for the new expansion coefficients are presented, showing thermodynamic observables up to mu(B)/T <= 3.5. This novel expansion overcomes the limitations of traditional Taylor expansion methods, providing a solution to the poor signal-to-noise ratio in determining Taylor coefficients from lattice calculations.

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking via Inhomogeneities and the Differential Surface Tension

G. Endrodi, T. G. Kovacs, G. Marko

Summary: This study investigates spontaneously broken quantum field theories with a continuous global symmetry group using the constraint effective potential approach. It finds that the path integral is dominated by inhomogeneous field configurations related to the flatness of the effective potential in the broken phase. The study introduces the concept of differential surface tension to characterize inhomogeneities and explores possible implications for the chiral limit of QCD.

On electric fields in hot QCD: perturbation theory

G. Endrodi, G. Marko

Summary: We investigate the response of a hot gas of quarks to external electric fields using leading-order perturbation theory. We discuss the equilibrium maintenance in the presence of the electric field and calculate the electric susceptibility, providing its high-temperature expansion for arbitrary quark mass. Furthermore, we point out the mismatch between the direct determination of the susceptibility at zero field and the weak-field expansion of the effective action at nonzero electric fields obtained using Schwinger's exact propagator, and discuss the generalization of our results to full QCD in electric fields.

Equation of state of a hot-and-dense quark gluon plasma: Lattice simulations at real μB vs extrapolations

Szabolcs Borsanyi, Zoltan Fodor, Matteo Giordano, Jana N. Guenther, Sandor D. Katz, Attila Pasztor, Chik Him Wong

Summary: In order to understand the limitations of various approximation schemes, researchers compared them to direct results at finite baryon density, using reweighting techniques without an overlap problem. They calculated the equation of state of the quark gluon plasma and covered a wide range of baryochemical potential.

Exponential reduction of the sign problem at finite density in the 2+1D XY model via contour deformations

Matteo Giordano, Kornel Kapas, Sandor D. Katz, Attila Pasztor, Zoltan Tulipant

Summary: We investigate the 2+1-dimensional XY model at nonzero chemical potential on deformed integration manifolds, and present numerical evidence showing exponential reduction of the sign problem with respect to mu 2 and spatial volume. We also introduce a new approach to optimization based on reweighting to reduce computational cost.

Mitigating the Hubbard sign problem with complex-valued neural networks

Marcel Rodekamp, Evan Berkowitz, Christoph Gaentgen, Stefan Krieg, Thomas Luu, Johann Ostmeyer

Summary: This study successfully addresses the sign problem in Monte Carlo simulations away from half filling by utilizing a specialized neural network architecture. By deforming the integration contour and implementing this transformation in the neural network, the adverse effects of the sign problem are significantly reduced, allowing for simulations of large-scale systems.

By conducting a two-dimensional scan on the imaginary baryon number chemical potential and strangeness chemical potential plane, they successfully achieved their goal and reproduced the trend seen in experimental data.

Apparent convergence of Pade approximants for the crossover line in finite density QCD

Attila Pasztor, Zsolt Szep, Gergely Marko

Summary: A novel Bayesian method is proposed for analytically continuing observables to real baryochemical potential mu(B) in finite density QCD. By jointly analyzing Taylor coefficients and data at imaginary chemical potential mu(I)(B), an apparent convergence of rational functions [p/p] and [p/p + 1] sequences is observed with increasing p. The extrapolation up to mu(B) approximate to 600 MeV is presented.
