Dear Colleague,

We are organizing the online workshop

"QCD phase diagram and lattice QCD"
October 25-29 2021 (JST), ZOOM/REMO at YITP, Kyoto U.
https://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~qcd2021/

sponsored by Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto Univ.


* Aim of the workshop

The purpose of this one-week workshop is to intensively discuss various aspects of QCD
at high temperatures as well as at nonzero chemical potentials to explore
the phase structure of QCD. For this purpose, we would invite world experts
who would trigger discussions of principal questions about QCD.
It is assumed that they would present review talks reflecting their vision of QCD
at high temperatures and densities, including quark mass dependence.
A number of shorter talks will be foreseen by younger researchers
and if necessary a poster session will be organized.
All talks will be presented on-line.


The workshop covers topics in
    Chiral phase transition
    Dependence of the QCD phases on quark mass and chemical potential
    U(1) axial and possible extension of symmetries at finite temperature
    Energy momentum tensor and EOS
    Approaches to sign problem at finite density QCD
    Theoretical developments

* Program

We plan to have
* Asian-American-friendly slot : 9:00-13:00 JST for Monday and Tuesday
  and
* Asian-European-friendly slot : 16:00-20:00 JST for other days.

For each slot, there will be invited talks (40min) and short talks (20min).
Since it is difficult to prepare many slots
available from different places in the world,
the number of short talks is limited
and we may ask some of presenters to switch
from oral to poster presentation.


* Online dinner/lunch/breakfast

At the end of the workshop, we plan to have
an online dinner/lunch/breakfast
from 20:00 to 21:00 JST.
The participants are encouraged to turn on camera,
and prepare their favorite dishes and drinks.

* Important Deadlines

The deadline for abstract submission : Sep. 30, 2021
The deadline for registration : Oct. 15, 2021


We are looking forward to seeing you soon.
