We give a selection of results on spectrum and decay constants of light and heavy-light hadrons. Effective field theories relevant for their lattice calculation, namely non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) for heavy quarks on the lattice and Chiral…
The QCD Anderson transition is believed to be connected to both deconfinement and chiral crossovers. These crossovers are substantially affected when external magnetic fields ($B$) are present, most prominently, e.g., via magnetic catalysis…
The thermodynamics of quarks and gluons strongly depends on the vacuum colormagnetic field, which grows with the temperature $T$, so that spatial string tension $\sigma_s ={\rm const}~ g^4 (T) T^2$. We investigate below what happens when…
The response of the QCD vacuum to a constant external (electro)magnetic field is studied through the tensor polarization of the chiral condensate and the magnetic susceptibility at zero and at finite temperature. We determine these…
A new multifermion formulation of lattice QCD is proposed. The model is free of spectrum doubling and preserves all nonanomalous chiral symmetries up to exponentially small corrections. It is argued that a small number of fermion fields may…
We study the behavior of strongly interacting matter under a uniform intense external magnetic field in the context of nonlocal extensions of the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. A detailed description of the formalism is presented,…

Extending the successes of lattice quantum chromodynamics(QCD) at zero as well as nonzero temperatures to nonzero density is extremely desirable in view of the quest for the QCD phase diagram both theoretically and experimentally. It turns…
We discuss some recent results obtained in the study of strong quark-antiquark interactions in the presence of intense external magnetic fields by means of lattice QCD simulations. We confirm previous findings and show that both at zero and…
We study the electromagnetic (e.m.) conductivity of QGP in a magnetic background by lattice simulations with $N_f = 2+1$ dynamical rooted staggered fermions at the physical point. We study the correlation functions of the e.m.~currents at…

We use lattice QCD simulations to test some of the predictions of proposed AdS/QCD (holographic) duals for QCD. In particular, these duals predict that the scale of chiral symmetry breaking ($\chi$SB) can be varied independently from that…
We have simulated lattice QCD with an irrelevant 4-fermion interaction and 2 zero mass quarks. The chiral phase transition is observed to be second order and we discuss extraction of critical exponents.
