The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

We review results for the phase diagram of QCD, the properties of quarks and gluons and
the resulting properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature and chemical …

We discuss the phase structure of QCD for N f= 2 and N f= 2+ 1 dynamical quark flavors at
finite temperature and baryon chemical potential. It emerges dynamically from the …

We review the present theoretical and empirical knowledge for α s, the fundamental
coupling underlying the interactions of quarks and gluons in Quantum Chromodynamics …

The dynamics of the QCD gauge sector give rise to non-perturbative phenomena that are
crucial for the internal consistency of the theory; most notably, they account for the …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

We review the spectrum and electromagnetic properties of baryons described as relativistic
three-quark bound states within QCD. The composite nature of baryons results in a rich …

We investigate Landau gauge SU (3) Yang-Mills theory in a systematic vertex expansion
scheme for the effective action with the functional renormalization group. Particular focus is …

In this paper, we present an overview on recent progress in studies of QCD at finite
temperature and densities within the functional renormalization group (fRG) approach. The …

We review theoretical approaches to explore the phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter
at high baryon density. We first look over the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics …
