Topological feature and phase structure of QCD at complex chemical potential

The pseudo-critical temperature of the confinement–deconfinement transition and the phase transition surface are investigated by using the complex chemical potential. We can interpret the imaginary chemical potential as the Aharonov–Bohm phase, then the analogy of the topological order suggests that...
