| contents | In this paper, we investigate the impact of renormalization group (RG) consistency on the chiral phase transition and thermodynamic properties of QCD matter using the RGNJL and RGPNJL models. By implementing a temperature-dependent thermal cutoff $Λ_T = kΛ_0$, we ensure that thermodynamic quantities converge toward the Stefan-Boltzmann limit at high temperatures, effectively extending the applicability of these effective theories. Our analysis shows that while the RG-consistency condition ($k \rightarrow \infty$) resolves causality violations in the RGNJL model by binding the speed of sound to the conformal limit, the RGPNJL model exhibits a more complex, non-monotonic sensitivity to the parameter $k$. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the RG-improved PNJL framework significantly enhances the description of net-baryon number fluctuations ($κσ^2$) relative to lattice QCD data at vanishing chemical potential, though the intensification of these fluctuations at high baryon density highlights a critical sensitivity to the model's parametric constraints. This study provides a rigorous evaluation of the RG-consistency framework's predictive power in mapping the QCD phase diagram and interpreting experimental observables. |
