This review aims at providing an extensive discussion of modern constraints relevant for
dense and hot strongly interacting matter. It includes theoretical first-principle results from …

We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense matter from
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven …

We present results for the equation of state in (2+ 1)-flavor QCD using the highly improved
staggered quark action and lattices with temporal extent N τ= 6, 8, 10, and 12. We show that …

In the last few years, numerical simulations of Quantum chromodynamics on the lattice have
reached a new level of accuracy. A wide range of thermodynamic quantities is now available …

We review results from lattice QCD calculations on the thermodynamics of strong-interaction
matter with emphasis on input these calculations can provide to the exploration of the phase …

We calculate second-and fourth-order cumulants of conserved charges in a temperature
range stretching from the QCD transition region towards the realm of (resummed) …

An extension of the ideal hadron resonance gas (HRG) model is constructed which includes
the attractive and repulsive van der Waals (VDW) interactions between baryons. This VDW …

A bstract We present a lattice QCD calculation of the charge diffusion coefficient, the
electrical conductivity and various susceptibilities of conserved charges, for a range of …

We compare lattice QCD results for appropriate combinations of net strangeness fluctuations
and their correlations with net baryon number fluctuations with predictions from two hadron …

We study the free energy of a static quark in QCD with 2+ 1 flavors in a wide temperature
region, 116 MeV< T< 5814 MeV, using the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action …
