Description

The determination of the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature and chemical potential via lattice simulations remains a challenge. This is because
of the "sign problem" at non-zero matter density. I want to highlight some
recent progress, both technical and analytical, which may bring reliable
answers soon.
