Phase diagram of QCD with four degenerate quarks

We revisit the determination of the pseudocritical line of QCD with four degenerate quarks at nonzero temperature and baryon density by the method of analytic continuation. We determine the pseudocritical couplings at imaginary chemical potentials by high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations and reveal deviations from the simple quadratic dependence on the chemical potential visible in earlier works on the same subject. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings for the shape of the pseudocritical line at real chemical potential, comparing different possible extrapolations
