We summarize our recent results on the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD obtained within the nonperturbative framework of Dyson–Schwinger equations. Our results are based on solutions to a truncated set of these equations for the quark and gluon propagators of (2 + 1)-flavor QCD in Landau gauge. First, we present baryon number fluctuations and ratios thereof, ranging from vanishing chemical potential up to the critical endpoint. In comparison with experimental data, our results are compatible with the scenario of a critical endpoint at large chemical potential and a freeze-out line that bends below the endpoint [1]. Second, we discuss a truncation-independent method to obtain thermodynamic quantities like the pressure, entropy density, energy density, and interaction measure across the QCD phase diagram from Dyson–Schwinger equations [2], which has been accomplished so far only within simple truncations of the rainbow-ladder type.
