Hadronic Fluctuations and Correlations
read the original abstract
We will provide a review of some of the physics which can be addressed by studying fluctuations and correlations in heavy ion collisions. We will discuss Lattice QCD results on fluctuations and correlations and will put them into context with observables which have been measured in heavy-ion collisions. Special attention will be given to the QCD critical point and the first order co-existence region, and we will discuss how the measurement of fluctuations and correlations can help in an experimental search for non-trivial structures in the QCD phase diagram.

Subensemble Acceptance Method 3.0: General Corrections to Cumulants from Exact Conservation Constraints
SAM-3.0 derives canonical cumulants from grand-canonical joint cumulants via a closed recursion with multivariate partial exponential Bell polynomials for arbitrary numbers of conserved charges and observables.

Cumulant dynamics in finite-memory diffusion
Finite current relaxation introduces memory effects that suppress, shift, and reshape non-monotonic cumulant behavior relative to instantaneous equilibrium and Fickian diffusion, most visibly in higher-order cumulants.

Canonical statistical hadronization with local baryon conservation for higher-order cumulants
Local baryon conservation in a canonical ensemble drives net-proton κ6/κ2 to small or negative values in restricted acceptance, establishing a baseline that must be subtracted before interpreting signals of chiral cri...

Four-dimensional QCD equation of state from a quasi-parton model with physics-informed neural networks
A PINN-trained quasi-parton model reproduces lattice cumulants at vanishing chemical potentials and supplies a consistent four-dimensional QCD equation of state at finite densities.

Unified Functional-Holographic Theory of the QCD Critical End Point
A coupled DSE-FRG-holographic model predicts the QCD critical end point at T_CEP approximately 130-135 MeV and mu_B,CEP approximately 600 MeV, with sensitivity to regulator and normalization choices.

Fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges in the Polyakov chiral SU(3) quark mean field model
PCQMF model calculations give T_pc = 170.5 MeV (vac=1) and 166.4 MeV (vac=0), T_dec ≈ 145 MeV, and show R_42^B crossing zero at μ_B/T_pc ≈ 2.15 only in the vac=1 variant while higher-order ratios become more negative ...
