Lattice Constraints on the QCD Chiral Phase Transition at Finite Temperature and Baryon Density

The thermal restoration of chiral symmetry in QCD is known to proceed by an analytic crossover, which is widely expected to turn into a phase transition with a critical endpoint as the baryon density is increased. In the absence of a genuine solution to the sign problem of lattice QCD, simulations a...
