Description

Recent theory developments aimed at mapping QCD phase diagram and the search for the critical point in heavy-ion collisions will be discussed. These include understanding of QCD equation of state and the universal properties of fireball trajectories near the critical point, hydrodynamic description of non-Gaussian fluctuations and their freeze-out consistent with conservation laws.
