Provides a theoretical framework for understanding QCD phases.

Suggests implications for the QCD phase diagram at large Nc.

Abstract

The transition between the hadronic phase and the quark gluon plasma phase at nonzero temperature and quark chemical potentials is studied within the large-Nc expansion of QCD.
