We present preliminary results for the correlation- and spectral functions of different meson channels on the lattice. The main focus lies on gaining control over cut-off as well as on the finite-volume effects. Extrapolations of screening…

Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…
Recent investigations show that the thermal spectral function of heavy $ {b \bar b } $ and $ {c \bar c} $ vector mesons can be described using holography. These studies consider a bottom up model that captures the heavy flavour spectroscopy…

We report here our lattice simulation on the charmonium spectra in the quenched approximation. Because the full adjustment on the nonperturbative parameters such as $C_E$, $C_B$, $m_0a_s$ and $r_s$ needs many calculation time, we only…
Correlators of magnetic and electric field energy density are investigated for SU($N_c$) gauge theory at high temperatures $T$. At separations $z\leq 2/T$ the correlators are shown to be dominated by a power--law behavior even for finite…

While the vibrational thermodynamics of materials with small anharmonicity at low temperatures has been understood well based on the harmonic phonons approximation; at high temperatures, this understanding must accommodate how phonons…
