Complex nature of finite density QCD with heavy quarks in the strong coupling region is studied. For this purpose, we consider the effective potential as a function of Polyakov line, and study thermodynamic singularities and associated Stokes boundaries in the complex chemical potential plane. We also perform an explicit analytic continuation of the first order transition and crossover lines in the complex chemical potential plane.

The method of analytic continuation is one of the most powerful tools to circumvent the sign problem in lattice QCD. The present study is part of a larger project which, based on the investigation of QCD-like theories which are free of the sign probl em, is aimed at testing the validity of the method of analytic continuation and at improving its predictivity, in view of its application to real QCD. We have shown that a considerable improvement can be achieved if suitable functions are used to interpolate data with imaginary chemical potential. We present results obtained in a theory free of the sign problem such as two-color QCD at finite chemical potential.
Two-color finite density QCD is free from the sign problem, and it is thus regarded as a good model to check the validity of the analytic continuation method. We study the method in terms of the corresponding chiral random matrix model. It is found t hat at temperatures slightly higher than the pseudo critical temperature, the ratio type of extrapolated function works well in accordance with the results of the Monte Carlo simulations.

We extend our previous study of the QCD phase structure in the heavy quark region to non-zero chemical potentials. To identify the critical point where the first order deconfining transition terminates, we study an effective potential defined by the probability distribution function of the plaquette and the Polyakov loop. The reweighting technique is shown to be powerful in evaluating the effective potential in a wide range of the plaquette and Polyakov loop expectation values. We adopt the cumulant expansion to overcome the sign problem in the calculation of complex phase of the quark determinant. We find that the method provides us with an intuitive and powerful way to study the phase structure. We estimate the location of the critical point at finite chemical potential in the heavy quark region.
We determine the equation of state of QCD at finite chemical potential, to order $(mu_B/T)^6$, for a system of 2+1 quark flavors. The simulations are performed at the physical mass for the light and strange quarks on several lattice spacings; the res ults are continuum extrapolated using lattices of up to $N_t=16$ temporal resolution. The QCD pressure and interaction measure are calculated along the isentropic trajectories in the $(T,~mu_B)$ plane corresponding to the RHIC Beam Energy Scan collision energies. Their behavior is determined through analytic continuation from imaginary chemical potentials of the baryonic density. We also determine the Taylor expansion coefficients around $mu_B=0$ from the simulations at imaginary chemical potentials. Strangeness neutrality and charge conservation are imposed, to match the experimental conditions.
We present the crossover line between the quark gluon plasma and the hadron gas phases for small real chemical potentials. First we determine the effect of imaginary values of the chemical potential on the transition temperature using lattice QCD sim ulations. Then we use various formulas to perform an analytic continuation to real values of the baryo-chemical potential. Our data set maintains strangeness neutrality to match the conditions of heavy ion physics. The systematic errors are under control up to $mu_Bapprox 300$ MeV. For the curvature of the transition line we find that there is an approximate agreement between values from three different observables: the chiral susceptibility, chiral condensate and strange quark susceptibility. The continuum extrapolation is based on $N_t=$ 10, 12 and 16 lattices. By combining the analysis for these three observables we find, for the curvature, the value $kappa = 0.0149 pm 0.0021$.
