Talk

In the realm of searches beyond the Standard Model (SM), Yang-Mills theories coupled with adjoint fermions constitute an intriguing possibility. Beyond their relevance in the context of SM extension, studying theories with a different number of dynamical flavors $N_f$ allows access to many distinct physical scenarios, including supersymmetry and conformality. This talk aims to provide a review...

9. $\theta$-dependence of the deconfinement temperature in SU(N) gauge theories

SU($N$) theories present a deconfinement phase transition.
It is well known that the topological properties of the theory, in 3+1 dimensions, are very different in the two phases.
In order to better understand the relation between the topological features of the theory and the deconfinement transition we studied the dependence of the critical temperature $T_c$ on the $\theta$ parameter...

15. Recent results on QCD thermodynamics from lattice simulations

First principle investigations are of fundamental interest for the study of the QCD phase diagram, both in their own right, and in light of experimental measurements from heavy-ion collision experiments, as well as from future observations from gravitational waves. Though not much is known (but much is conjectured) about the phase structure of QCD, a lot of progress has been made in the...
