The B-meson decay constant fB has been calculated from unquenched lattice QCD in the unphysical region. For extrapolating the lattice data to the physical region, we propose a phenomenological functional form based on the effective chiral…
In our work we extend the ideas of the derivation of the chiral effective theory from the lattice QCD [1] to the case of the random lattice regularization of QCD. Such procedure allows in principle to find contribution of any order into the…

The extraction of two- and three-body hadronic scattering amplitudes and the properties of the low-lying hadronic resonances from the finite-volume energy levels in lattice QCD represents a rapidly developing field of research. The use of…
The development of improved algorithms for QCD on the lattice has enabled us to do calculations at small quark masses and get control over the chiral extrapolation. Also finer lattices have become possible, however, a severe slowing down…
The principles of scale setting in lattice QCD as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various commonly used scales are discussed. After listing criteria for good scales, I concentrate on the main presently used ones with an emphasis…
The present status of the Roper resonance in lattice QCD is reviewed. Some of the latest lattice results are discussed with particular emphasis on a large systematic error stemming from the finite size effect. These results suggest that the…
The past few years have seen many interesting theoretical developments in lattice QCD. This talk (which is intended for non-experts) focuses on the problem of non-perturbative renormalization and the question of how precisely the continuum…
It has been argued recently that the inclusion of the chiral logarithms in extrapolation of the lattice data can shift the value of the hadronic parameter xi = (fBs sqrt(B_{Bs}))/(fBd sqrt(B_{Bd})), from 1.16(6) to 1.32(10) and even higher.…
A popular approximation in lattice gauge theory is an extrapolation in the number of fermion species away from the four fold degeneracy natural with the staggered fermion formulation. I show that the extrapolation procedure mutilates the…
The chiral extrapolation of the nucleon mass, M_n, is investigated using data coming from 2-flavour partially-quenched lattice simulations. A large sample of lattice results from the CP-PACS Collaboration is analysed using the leading…
We propose a nonperturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories. The method involves a `pre-regulation' of the gauge fields, which may be implemented on a lattice, followed by a computation of the chiral fermion determinant in the form of…
Quadratic regression (QR) models naturally extend linear models by considering interaction effects between the covariates. To conduct model selection in QR, it is important to maintain the hierarchical model structure between main effects…
Lattice radial quantization was proposed in a recent paper by Brower, Fleming and Neuberger[1] as a nonperturbative method especially suited to numerically solve Euclidean conformal field theories. The lessons learned from the lattice…
Finite-size criteria have emerged as an effective tool for deriving spectral gaps in higher-dimensional frustration-free quantum spin systems. We quantitatively improve the existing finite-size criteria by introducing a novel subsystem…
In these lectures I explain how chiral symmetry of continuum QCD naturally leads to a class of lattice regularisations known as twisted mass QCD (tmQCD). As compared to standard Wilson quarks, its advantages are the absence of unphysical…
The chiral extrapolation of the vector meson mass calculated in partially-quenched lattice simulations is investigated. The leading one-loop corrections to the vector meson mass are derived for partially-quenched QCD. A large sample of…
A lattice regularization procedure for gauge theories is proposed in which fermions are given a special treatment such that all chiral flavor symmetries that are free of Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomalies are kept intact. There is no doubling of…
We propose a method to improve the quenched approximation. The method, based on the worldline formalism, takes into account effects of quark loops. The idea is useful mostly for AdS/CFT (holographic) calculations. To demonstrate the method…
The dependence of corrections due to the initial state radiation in $e^+ e^-$-annihilation processes on the choice of the factorization scale is investigated. Different prescriptions of the factorization scale choice are analyzed within the…
