A methodology is given to test the QCD $N_f$=2 chiral transition, presently conjectured to be second order. Scaling forms for the correlation length, susceptibilities and equation of state are given which account for finite lattice spacing.…

Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken in the Standard Model by the mass and electric charge of the up and down quarks. These effects represent a perturbation of hadronic amplitudes at the percent level. Although these contributions are…

We discuss the structure of the NLO corrections to the chiral formulae for mesonic scattering processes in mixed action simulations using Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks and staggered sea quarks. In particular, we show that the analytic…

We review the connection between QCD and potential models of quarkonia in the framework of effective field theories, with an emphasis on non-perturbative methods such as lattice simulations. The static and heavy quark potentials are…

We discuss recent work trying to extract the renormalised quark masses and Lambda, the QCD scale, from dynamical simulations in lattice gauge theory.

We discuss the low-energy analysis of models involving quarks and four-fermion couplings. The relation with QCD and with other models of mesons and meson plus quarks at low energies is discussed. A short description of how the heat-kernel…

QCD with 2 massless colour-sextet quarks is studied as a model of Walking Technicolor. We simulate lattice QCD with 2 light color-sextet staggered quarks at finite temperature, and use the dependence of the coupling at the chiral transition…

We review a number of topics related to block variable renormalisation group transformations of quantum fields on the lattice, and to the emerging perfect lattice actions. We first illustrate this procedure by considering scalar fields.…

Recent developments in finite-temperature QCD with dynamical quarks are reviewed focusing on the topics of critical temperature, the equation of state, and critical behaviors around the chiral phase transition.

Monte Carlo simulations applied to the lattice formulation of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) enable a study of the theory from first principles, in a nonperturbative way. After over two decades of developments in the methodology for this…

After giving an overview of recently invented methods for simulating lattice QCD at small mu/T, we discuss some results for bulk thermodynamic quantities of QCD matter coming from those methods. We focus on the transition line and the…

Results are reviewed, which provide relations between the response (and eventual instability) of the chiral QCD vacuum to an increase of the number of massless quarks in the theory and the observed violations of the large $N_c$ expansion in…

Chiral quark models offer a practical and simple tool to describe covariantly both low and high energy phenomenology in combination with QCD evolution. This can be done in full harmony with chiral symmetry and electromagnetic gauge…

In these lectures I explain how chiral symmetry of continuum QCD naturally leads to a class of lattice regularisations known as twisted mass QCD (tmQCD). As compared to standard Wilson quarks, its advantages are the absence of unphysical…

The Overlap-Dirac operator provides a lattice regularization of massless vector gauge theories with an exact chiral symmetry. Practical implementations of this operator and recent results in quenched QCD using this Overlap-Dirac operator…

I review recent progress and results in lattice QCD obtained using fermions with exact chiral symmetry.

We construct an effective model for the QCD equation of state, taking into account chiral symmetry restoration as well as the deconfinement phase transition. The correct asymptotic degrees of freedom at the high and low temperature limits…

The hypercentral CQM, which is inspired by Lattice QCD calculations for quark-antiquark potentials, is presented, stressing its underlying symmetry. Its results for the spectrum, the helicity amplitudes and the elastic form factors are…

The chiral extrapolation of the vector meson mass calculated in partially-quenched lattice simulations is investigated. The leading one-loop corrections to the vector meson mass are derived for partially-quenched QCD. A large sample of…

We discuss results from lattice calculations for a few observables that are sensitive to different length scales in the high temperature phase of QCD and can give insight into its non-perturbative structure. We compare lattice results with…
