We examined the instanton contribution to the QCD configurations generated from lattice QCD for $N_F=0$, $N_F=2+1$ and $N_F=2+1+1$ dynamical quark flavors from two different and complementary approaches. First via the use of Gradient flow,…
We describe the coupling of the strong force. Denoted as $\alpha_s$, it sets the strength of that force, just as $G$ or $\alpha$ specify the strength of the gravity and electromagnetism. Its value depends on the scale at which phenomena are…
The equation of state of Hamiltonian lattice QCD at finite density is examined in the strong coupling limit by constructing a solution to the equation of motion corresponding to an effective Hamiltonian describing the ground state of the…
We test here our recently introduced new lattice method for the $\beta$-function defined over infinite Euclidean space-time in the continuum from scale changes generated by infinitesimal or finite steps of the renormalized gauge coupling on…
We present new results on the static qq-potential from high statistics simulations on 32^4 and smaller lattices, using the standard Wilson beta = 6.0, 6.4, and 6.8. Within our statistical errors we do not observe any finite size effects…
I review recent progress in the determination of the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature, in investigations of the nature of the transition or crossover from the hadronic phase to the quark-gluon plasma phase and in the determination of…
There has been much research on network flows over time due to their important role in real world applications. This has led to many results, but the more challenging continuous time model still lacks some of the key concepts and techniques…
We discuss the spectrum of open string and point particle excitations in QCD with various source representations. Some general relations are introduced and lattice results presented. In particular we discuss the short-distance behaviour,…
We provide a short review of the progress made in the past decade with functional QCD in the description of the phase structure of QCD. We summarise the most important technical aspects of the framework, discuss strategies for truncations…
I review recent results on phase structure and equation of state of strong interaction matter from lattice QCD. Particular emphasis is given to the axes where direct simulations are possible and results are obtained with sufficient control…
Nonperturbative inequalities constrain the thermodynamic pressure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with its phase-quenched version, a Sign-Problem-free theory amenable to lattice treatment. In the perturbative regime with a small QCD…
The translation of experimental limits on the neutron electric dipole moment into constraints on heavy $CP$-violating physics beyond the Standard Model requires knowledge about non-perturbative matrix elements of effective operators, which…
The relevance of higher order cumulants of conserved charges for the analysis of freeze-out and critical conditions in heavy ion collisions at LHC and RHIC is discussed. Using properties of $O(4)$ scaling functions, the generic structure of…
Lattice scalar field theories encounter a sign problem when the coupling constant is complex. This is a close cousin of the real-time sign problems that afflict the lattice Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, and a more distant relative of the…
We compare, for the static potential and at short distances, perturbation theory with the results of lattice simulations. We show that a renormalon-dominance picture explains why in the literature sometimes agreement, and another…
We propose and analyze numerical schemes for the gradient flow of $Q$-tensor with the quasi-entropy. The quasi-entropy is a strictly convex, rotationally invariant elementary function, giving a singular potential constraining the…
The strong coupling limit of lattice QCD with staggered fermions has been studied for decades, both via Monte Carlo and via mean field theory. In this model, the finite density sign problem can be made mild and the full phase diagram can be…
It is shown that the lowest (second) order truncation of the Carleman linearization of the fluid equations (C2) recovers not only the initial transient of the time evolution but also its late stage, namely the steady-state solution. This…
We compute the hydrodynamic relaxation times $\tau_\pi$ and $\tau_j$ for hot QCD at next-to-leading order in the coupling with kinetic theory. We show that certain dimensionless ratios of second-order to first-order transport coefficients…
We study periodic lattices, such as vortex lattices, driven by an external force in a random pinning potential. We show that effects of static disorder persist even at large velocity. It results in a novel moving glass state with…
