The effect of a finite volume presents itself both in heavy ion experiments as well as in recent model calculations. The magnitude is sensitive to the proximity of a nearby critical point. We calculate the finite volume effects at finite…
A remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the hot and dense QCD matter using lattice gauge theory. The issues which are very well understood as well those which require both conceptual as well as algorithmic advances are…
We simulate lattice QCD with an irrelevant chiral 4-fermion interaction which allows us to simulate at zero quark mass. This enables us to study the finite-temperature chiral-symmetry-restoring phase transition for 2 massless quark…
As a non-perturbative and gauge invariant regularization the lattice provides a tool for deeper understanding of the celebrated Yang-Mills theory, QCD and chiral gauge theories. For illustration, I discuss some analytic developments on the…
A short survey of the renormalization problem in QCD and its non-perturbative solution by means of numerical simulations on the lattice is given. Most emphasis is on scale dependent renormalizations, which can be reliably addressed via a…
We review important aspects of QCD in the continuum and on the lattice and take a look at the fate of its symmetries with an emphasis on chiral symmetry breaking on the lattice.
One way of avoiding the complex action problem in lattice QCD at non-zero density is to simulate QCD-like theories with a real action, such as two-colour QCD. The symmetries of two-colour QCD with quarks in the fundamental and in the…

We review recent progress in lattice QCD at finite density. The phase diagram of QCD and the equation of state at finite temperature and density are discussed. In particular, we focus on the critical point terminating a first order phase…
Some important problems in quantitative QCD will certainly yield to hard work and adequate investment of resources, others appear difficult but may be accessible, and still others will require essentially new ideas. Here I identify several…
