Thermal hadron resonances in chiral and $U(1{)}_A$ restoration

Abstract

We review recent work on thermal resonances and their connection with chiral symmetry and $U(1{)}_A$ restoration within the QCD phase diagram. In particular, the $f_0(500)$ and $K_0^{\ast }(700)$ states generated from $\pi \pi$ and $\pi K$ scattering within Unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) at finite temperature allow one to describe scalar susceptibilities, which combined with Ward Identities yield interesting conclusions regarding the interplay between chiral and $U(1{)}_A$ restoration, key to understand the nature of the transition
