Axion cosmology needs the QCD topological susceptibility between 400 and 1100 MeV. In this range the bottom quark is inconvenient to include in lattice simulations, but not heavy enough to ignore. We estimate its effect on the…

Generalized quark number susceptibilities are expected to be good probes for the phase transitions in QCD and the search of a possible critical point. However, their computation in lattice QCD is plagued by the complex action problem which…

Staggered fermions with 4 tastes are expected to describe 4-flavor QCD in the continuum limit, therefore at finite lattice spacing the staggered determinant should be equivalent to an SU(4) flavor-symmetric system up to lattice artifacts.…
