Recent results on the equation of state from lattice QCD are reviewed. The lattice technique and previous results are shortly discussed. New results for physical quark masses and two sets of lattice spacings are presented. The pressure,…
We survey results in lattice quantum chromodynamics from groups in the USQCD Collaboration. The main focus is on physics, but many aspects of the discussion are aimed at an audience of computational physicists.
We propose a novel quasiparticle interpretation of the equation of state of deconfined QCD at finite temperature. Using appropriate thermal masses, we introduce a phenomenological parametrization of the onset of confinement in the vicinity…
The recent development of the Field Correlator Method (FCM) is discussed, with applications to the most interesting areas of QCD physics obtained in the lattice data and experiment. These areas include: a) the connection of colorelectric…
In recent years there has been much progress on the investigation of the QCD phase diagram with lattice QCD. This talk will focus on the developments in the last few years. Especially the addition of external influences and extended ranges…
A brief overview of the QCD phase diagram at nonzero temperature and density is provided. It is explained why standard lattice QCD techniques are not immediately applicable for its determination, due to the sign problem. We then discuss a…
In recent years there has been much progress on the investigation of the QCD phase diagram with lattice QCD simulations. In this review I focus on the developments in the last two years. Especially the addition of external influences or new…
Two crucial properties of QCD, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, cannot be understood within the context of conventional Feynman perturbation theory. Non-perturbative phenomena enter the theory in a fundamental way at both the…
We show that lattice results on four flavor QCD at nonzero temperature and baryon density compare well with the hadron resonance gas model up to T approx. 0.95 Tc, and approach a free field behaviour with a reduced effective number of…
We show that all current formalisms for quarks in lattice QCD are consistent in the quenched continuum limit, as they should be. We improve on previous extrapolations to this limit, and the understanding of lattice systematic errors there,…
According to the present understanding, the observed diversity of the strong interaction phenomena is described by Quantum Chromodynamics, a gauge field theory with only very few parameters. One of the fundamental questions in this context…
Recent lattice QCD results on charmonium properties are reviewed. I comment on molecules and hybrid states as well as on future studies of states near strong decay thresholds.
Color confinement is a consequence of an unbroken non-Abelian gauge symmetry and the resulting asymptotic freedom inherent in quantum chromodynamics. A qualitative sketch of its proof is presented.
I report on some recent developments in nonperturbative studies of finite temperature QCD with dynamical quarks on the lattice. I discuss new studies of improved lattice actions and their application to finite temperature QCD. I also…
I review recent lattice results on the spectrum and structure of baryons. Limitations due to the quenched approximation and un-physically heavy up and down quarks are discussed, and interfaces between first principles studies of QCD (or…
Recent lattice QCD calculations of the baryon spectrum are outlined.
Within the picture of quark confinement as due to a \textit{color event horizon}, and of hadronization as an instance of the Unruh radiation for the strong force, we show here that QCD entropy, evaluated by lattice simulations in the region…
One of the most direct predictions of QCD is the existence of color-singlet states called Glueballs, which emerge as a consequence of the gluon field self-interactions. Despite the outstanding success of QCD as a theory of the strong…
Some recent developments to handle the numerical sign problem in QCD and related theories at nonzero density are reviewed. In this contribution I focus on changing the integration order to soften the severity of the sign problem, the…
