We study the QCD phase diagram in the framework of a nonlocal three-flavor quark model. We determine the model parameters from vacuum meson phenomenology, considering lattice QCD-inspired nonlocal form factors. Then we analyze the features of the deconfinement and chiral restoration transitions for systems at nonzero temperature and chemical potential.

Sensitivity of Polyakov Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model and Polyakov linear sigma-model (PLSM) has been utilized in studying QCD phase-diagram. From quasi-particle model (QPM) a gluonic sector is integrated into LSM. The hadron resonance gas (HRG) model is used in calculating the thermal and dense dependence of quark-antiquark condensate. We review these four models with respect to their descriptions for the chiral phase transition. We analyze the chiral order parameter, normalized net-strange condensate, and chiral phase-diagram and compare the results with recent lattice calculations. We find that PLSM chiral boundary is located in upper band of the lattice QCD calculations and agree well with the freeze-out results deduced from various high-energy experiments and thermal models. Also, we find that the chiral temperature calculated from HRG is larger than that from PLSM. This is also larger than the freeze-out temperatures calculated in lattice QCD and deduced from experiments and thermal models. The corresponding temperature and chemical potential are very similar to that of PLSM. Although the results from PNJL and QLSM keep the same behavior, their chiral temperature is higher than that of PLSM and HRG. This might be interpreted due the very heavy quark masses implemented in both models.

We study the QCD phase diagram using the linear sigma model coupled to quarks. We compute the effective potential at finite temperature and quark chemical potential up to ring diagrams contribution. We show that, provided the values for the pseudo-critical temperature Tc = 155 MeV and critical baryon chemical potential μBc ≃ 1 GeV, together with the vacuum sigma and pion masses. The model couplings can be fixed and that these in turn help to locate the region where the crossover transition line becomes first order.

We analyse the hadron/quark phase transition described by the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model [quark phase] and the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model (eNJL) [hadron phase]. While the original formulation of the NJL model is not capable of describing hadronic properties due to its lack of confinement, it can be extended with a scalar-vector interaction so it exhibits this property, the so-called eNJL model. As part of this analysis, we obtain the equations of state within the SU(2) versions of both models for the hadron and the quark phases and determine the binodal surface.

In this review, we present of an overview of several interesting properties of QCD at finite imaginary chemical potential and those applications to exploring the QCD phase diagram. The most important properties of QCD at a finite imaginary chemical potential are the Roberge–Weiss periodicity and the transition. We summarize how these properties play a crucial role in understanding QCD properties at finite temperature and density. This review covers several topics in the investigation of the QCD phase diagram based on the imaginary chemical potential.

In this paper, we use the two-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model together with the proper time regularization that has both ultraviolet and infrared cutoffs to study the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and zero chemical potential. The involved model parameters in our calculation are determined in the traditional way. Our calculations show that the dependence of the results on the choice of the parameters are really small, which can then be regarded as an advantage besides such a regularization scheme is Lorentz invariant.
