Leptoquarks (LQs) provide very promising solutions to the tensions between the experimental measurements and the SM predictions of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ and $b\to c\tau\nu$ processes. In this case the LQ masses are in general at the TeV…

Quenched lattice QCD calculations with Wilson-type fermions at small quark masses are impeded by exceptional configurations. We show how this problem can be resolved in a practicable way without changing the physics in the chiral limit.
Lattice QCD using fermions whose Dirac operator obeys the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, is perhaps the best known formulation of QCD with a finite cutoff. It reproduces all the low energy QCD phenomenology associated with chiral symmetry at…
