We report on the results of our calculation of meson correlators in a finite volume. The calculation is carried out in the quenched approximation near the chiral limit (down to Mq = 2.6 MeV) using the overlap fermion. For these small quark…

One of the great challenges of lattice QCD is to produce unambiguous predictions for the properties of physical hadrons. We review recent progress with respect to a major barrier to achieving this goal, namely the fact that computation time…
The parametric error on the QCD-coupling can be a dominant source of uncertainty in several important observables. One way to extract the coupling is to compare high order perturbative computations with lattice evaluated moments of heavy…
We calculate $m_{ud}=(m_u+m_d)/2$, $m_s$, $f_\pi$ and $f_K$ in the quenched continuum limit with UV-filtered overlap fermions. We see rather small scaling violations on lattices as coarse as $a^{-1} \simeq 1 \mathrm{GeV}$ and conjecture…

The chiral symmetry relation and scaling of the overlap fermions are studied numerically on the quenched lattices at 3 couplings with about the same physical volume. We find that the generalized Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation is satisfied…
The transition temperature ($T_c$) of QCD is determined by Symanzik improved gauge and stout-link improved staggered fermionic lattice simulations. We use physical masses both for the light quarks ($m_{ud}$) and for the strange quark…
We study quenched QCD at finite chemical potential, $\mu_I$, for the third component of isospin and quenched two-colour QCD at finite chemical potential, $\mu$, for quark number. In contrast to the quenched approximation to QCD at finite…
A chiral extrapolation of the light vector meson masses in the up, down and strange quark masses of QCD is presented. We apply an effective chiral Lagrangian based on the hadrogenesis conjecture to QCD lattice ensembles of PACS-CS,…
The issue of chiral extrapolations in heavy quarkonium systems is discussed. We show that the light quark mass dependence of the properties of heavy quarkonia is not always suppressed. For quarkonia close to an open flavor threshold, even a…

A new approach to the quenched propagator in QED beyond the IR limit is proposed. The method is based on evolution equations in the proper time.
We develop chiral perturbation theory for baryons in quenched QCD. Quenching (the elimination of diagrams containing virtual quark loops) is achieved by extending the Lagrangian method of Bernard and Golterman, and is implemented in a…
