Dependence of the confinement transition parameters on the fermion content provides information on the mechanism of confinement. Recent progress in lattice gauge theories has allowed to study it for light flavor number $N_f\sim O(10)$ and…
We study the structure of QCD at very large baryon density for an arbitrary number of flavors $N_f$. We provide evidence that for any number of flavors larger than $N_f=2$ chiral symmetry remains broken at asymptotically large chemical…

QCD with 2 flavours of massless colour-sextet quarks is studied as a theory which might exhibit a range of scales over which the running coupling constant evolves very slowly (walks). We simulate lattice QCD with 2 flavours of sextet…

To date numerical simulations of lattice QCD have not found a chiral phase transition of first order which is expected to occur for sufficiently light pions. We show how the restoration of an exact global chiral symmetry can strongly…
