We propose a formulation of the QCD partition function which leads to a series expansion of the quark determinant in any given baryonic sector. The r-th term gives the gauge-invariant contribution of the valence quarks plus r…
We describe a systematic approach to generating approximate actions for the lattice simulation of QCD. Three different tuning conditions are defined to match approximate with true actions, and it is shown that these three conditions become…

Distribution of the sum of independent identically distributed symmetric lattice vectors is approximated by the accompanying compound Poisson law and the second-order Hipp-type signed compound Poisson measure. Bergstr\"om -type asymptotic…
This article is concerned with the approximation of unbounded convex sets by polyhedra. While there is an abundance of literature investigating this task for compact sets, results on the unbounded case are scarce. We first point out the…
We establish closed-form expansions for the universal edge elimination polynomial of paths and cycles and their generating functions. This includes closed-form expansions for the bivariate matching polynomial, the bivariate chromatic…
The dipole subtraction method for calculating next-to-leading order corrections in QCD was originally only formulated for massless partons. In this paper we extend its definition to include massive partons, namely quarks, squarks and…
This talk comments the main features of a hadronic description of QCD in the limit of large number of colours. We derive a quantum field theory for mesons based on chiral symmetry and a perturbative expansion in 1/NC. Some large-NC and…
For any near-threshold asymptotic regime and for any Feynman diagram (involving loop and/or phase space integrals), a systematic prescription for explicitly constructing all-logs, all-powers (all-twists) expansions in perfectly factorized…
We study the convergence of the derivative expansion in HAL QCD method from the finite volume analysis. Employing the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD data obtained at nearly physical light quark masses $(m_\pi, m_K) \simeq (146, 525)$ MeV and the…
We present a new exact algorithm for estimating all elements of the quark propagator. The advantage of the method is that the exact all-to-all propagator is reproduced in a large but finite number of inversions. The efficacy of the…
EQCD is a 3D bosonic theory containing SU(3) and an adjoint scalar, which efficiently describes the infrared, nonperturbative sector of hot QCD and which is highly amenable to lattice study. We improve the matching between lattice and…
We calculate meson correlators in the epsilon-regime within partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. The valence quark masses and sea quark masses can be chosen arbitrary and all non-degenerate. Taking some of the sea quark masses to…
A new method based on the concept of probability distribution is proposed to analyze the finite volume energy spectrum in lattice QCD. Using synthetic lattice data, we demonstrate that for the channel with quantum numbers of the…
The increase with time of computer resources devoted to simulations of full QCD is spectacular. Yet the reduction of systematic errors is comparatively slow. This is due to the algorithmic complexity of the problem. I review, in elementary…
We investigate the reliability of the Taylor expansion method in QCD with isospin chemical potentials using lattice simulations. By comparing the expansion of the number density to direct results, the range of validity of the leading- and…
We show that it is now possible to fully determine the CKM matrix, for the first time, using lattice QCD. |V_{cd}|, |V_{cs}|, |V_{ub}|, |V_{cb}| and |V_{us}| are, respectively, directly determined with our lattice results for form factors…
The substantial progress that has been achieved in lattice QCD in the last years is pointed out. I compare the simulation cost and systematic effects of several lattice QCD formulations and discuss a number of topics such as lattice spacing…
``Completeness'' (i.e. probability conservation) is not usually satisfied in the cumulant expansion of the Anderson lattice when a reduced state space is employed for $U\to \infty $. To understand this result, the well known ``Chain''…
