We report on an ongoing study on the interplay between Roberge-Weiss (RW) and chiral transitions in simulations of (2+1)-ﬂavor QCD with an imaginary chemical potential. We established that the RW endpoint belongs to the 3- 𝑑 , Z 2 universality class when calculations are done with the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action in the RW plane with physical quark masses. We also have explored a range of quark masses corresponding to pion mass values, 𝑚 𝜋 ≥ 40 MeV and found that the…
