| contents | Imaginary baryon number chemical potential simulations are a popular workaround for the (in)famous sign problem plaguing finite density QCD studies on the lattice. One is necessarily left with the problem of analytically continuing results to real values of $μ_B$. In the framework of the Bielefeld Parma Collaboration, we have in recent years studied a multi-point Padé description of the net baryon number density computed as a function of imaginary baryon number chemical potential. While our main emphasis has till now been on the determination of Lee-Yang singularities, the method is per se a natural tool to analytically continue results. We report on the status of our projects with this respect, comparing the Padé approach to analytic continuation to another, new strategy, which is an application of the Cauchy integral formula in the sense of an inverse problem. |
