QCD's equation of state from Dyson-Schwinger equations

Abstract

In this contribution, we summarize a truncation-independent method to compute the equation of state within nonperturbative functional approaches. After demonstrating its viability, the method is applied to solutions obtained from a set of truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations for the quark and gluon propagators of (2+1)-flavor QCD to obtain thermodynamic quantities across the phase diagram of strong-interaction matter.
