The propagators of QCD, and especially their infrared behavior, contain important information about the phase structure of matter. In our work [1,2,3] we investigate these with a truncated system of Dyson-Schwinger equations in Landau gauge.
We present for the Yang-Mills propagators analytical and numerical results at non-vanishing temperatures. These are in quantitative and qualitative agreement with corresponding lattice results. It turns out that the chromomagnetic sector stays confining even at infinite temperatures.
For the quark propagator at finite chemical potentials we explore the chirally broken and unbroken phase, as well as the superconducting 2SC and CFL phase. The pressure difference between both phases is approximately determined. This method bridges the gap between weak coupling investigations at high densities and densities of the order of nuclear saturation.
