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

Blog Article

These lecture notes, prepared for the 2024 XQCD PhD, Injector Drivers 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 Oven Selector Switch properties, the notes review recent theoretical progress in locating the QCD critical point by tracking the trajectory of the Yang-Lee edge singularity.
