Contribution
It investigates the impact of quantum fluctuations and matter back-reaction on the QCD phase diagram, providing new insights into the phase transition lines and critical endpoint location.
Findings
Quantum fluctuations significantly affect the phase transition lines.
Matter back-reaction alters the position of the critical endpoint.
Implications for the size of the quarkyonic phase are discussed.
Abstract
In this contribution the role of quantum fluctuations for the QCD phase diagram is discussed. This concerns in particular the importance of the matter back-reaction to the gluonic sector. The impact of these fluctuations on the location of the confinement/deconfinement and the chiral transition lines as well as their interrelation are investigated. Consequences of our findings for the size of a possible quarkyonic phase and location of a critical endpoint in the phase diagram are drawn.
