Two lectures on Yang-Lee edge singularity and analytic structure of QCD equation of state

Blog Article

These Star Wars lecture notes, prepared for the 2024 XQCD PhD, provide an introduction to the analytic structure of an equation of state near a second-order phase transition and its most prominent landmark: the Yang-Lee edge singularity.In addition to discussing general properties, the notes review recent theoretical progress in locating the Built-In Fridge QCD critical point by tracking the trajectory of the Yang-Lee edge singularity.
