We investigate the quark content of the scalar meson $a_0(980)$ using lattice QCD. To this end we consider correlation functions of six different two- and four-quark interpolating fields. We evaluate all diagrams, including diagrams, where…
We give a brief survey on the physical significance of the low-mass scalar mesons in QCD, and also report on recent lattice studies on the sigma and kappa mesons. The importance to explore the in-medium properties of the hadrons is…
I present a mini-review of the masses and couplings of the bare (unmixed) light scalar mesons : $\bar qq, (\overline{qq})(qq), (\bar qq)(\bar qq), gg$ from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and low-energy theorems (LET) which we compare with…
We study the flavour singlet mesons from first principles using lattice QCD. We explore the splitting between flavour singlet and non-singlet for vector and axial mesons as well as the more commonly studied cases of the scalar and…
This is an informal overview of methods and results on the QCD phase diagram and lattice termodynamics aimed at specialists in nearby fields.
After presenting the motivations to explore the low-lying scalar mesons such as the $\sigma$, $a_0$ and $\kappa$ in the unquenched as well as quenched lattice QCD, we review the works done by our collaboration (SCALAR Collaboration) with a…
I give a brief introduction to the scope of lattice QCD calculations in our effort to extract the fundamental parameters of the standard model. This goal is illustrated by two examples. First I discuss the extraction of CKM matrix elements…
We study the anisotropic lattice QCD for precision computations of heavy-light matrix elements. Our previous study in which the lattices are calibrated with a few percent accuracy has already given results comparable to the existing…
Half a century of work on the light scalar mesons $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $K_0^\star(700)$, and $a_0(980)$ is briefly reviewed. After summarising all light scalar candidates in the Review of Particle Physics since 1963, a selection of…
I review the recent status of lattice QCD calculations at non-zero density.
I begin by discussing the basic ideas of quantum field theory (QFT). I provide a review of symmetries in physics and then move on to discuss the quark model. I then review lattice gauge theory with particular attention paid to lattice QCD…

I review recent progress in lattice QCD at non-zero temperature whith emphasis on the calculations of equation and the deconfinement as well as the chiral aspects of the QCD transition at non-zero temperature. I also briefly discuss meson…
A method for computing electromagnetic properties of hadrons in lattice QCD is described and preliminary numerical results are presented. The electromagnetic field is introduced dynamically, using a noncompact formulation. Employing…
We report on the computation of the scaling of QCD observables with the number of colours, $N_c$. For this, we use dynamical configurations with four active flavours, $N_f=4$, and values of $N_c=3-6$. We study the meson masses and decay…
Results for light quark masses obtained from lattice QCD simulations are compared and contrasted with other determinations. Relevance of these results to estimates of $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is discussed.

Searches for tetraquarks and mesonic molecules in lattice QCD are briefly reviewed. In the light quark sector the most serious candidates are the lightest scalar resonances sigma, kappa, a0 and f0. In the hidden-charm sector I discuss…

I discuss recent developments in lattice QCD thermodynamics on the nature of the transition at finite temperature and density, equation of state, screening of static charges and meson spectral functions at high temperatures.
