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 of $T$ and $\mu$ yield an increasing number of interesting results, a subset of which will be discussed. Many of these conditions are important for the...

New incarnations of heavy-ion collision experiments are turning our attention to hard processes and a more fine-grained resolution of the QGP. In this endeavor quarkonia or open heavy flavors turn out to be versatile probes, which are usually described through models based on perturbative QCD, AdS, and effective field theories. The lattice provides nonperturbative input and constraints to such...

When non-Abelian gauge fields in $SU(3)$ QCD have a line-singularity leading to non-commutability with respect to successive partial-derivative operations, the non-Abelian Bianchi identity is violated. The violation as an operator is shown to be equivalent to violation of the Abelian-like Bianchi identities. Then there appear eight Abelian-like conserved magnetic monopoles of the Dirac type in...

The hadron resonance gas (HRG) model is often believed to correctly describe the confined phase of QCD. This assumption is the basis of many phenomenological works on QCD thermodynamics and of the analysis of hadron yields in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We use first-principle lattice simulations to calculate corrections to the ideal HRG. Namely, we determine the sub-leading fugacity...

Universal features of second order phase phase transitions can be investigated by studying the phi-to-the-fourth field theory with the corresponding global symmetry breaking pattern. When gauge symmetries are present, the same technique is usually applied to a gauge invariant order parameter field, as in the Pisarski-Wilczek analysis of the QCD chiral phase transition. Gauge fields are thus...

In QCD there is the possibility of strong CP violation arising from a nonvanishing vacuum angle $\theta$, which would result in an electric dipole moment $d_n$ of the neutron. Recently it has been shown that QCD undergoes a deconfinement phase transition at finite values of $\theta$ due to long-distance vacuum effects, which rules out any CP violation at the hadronic level, thus solving the...

One consequence of the recently developed effective number theory, designed to count objects with probabilities, is that it leads to a well-defined concept of effective dimension. Due to the additivity of effective numbers, the latter is a measure-based construct extending the Hausdorff/Minkowski-like notion of dimension for fixed sets (with metric) to the stochastic domain.

We employ the chirally rotated Schroedinger functional scheme in finite volumes.

Hyperon physics is expected to play a role in neutron stars, where the extreme neutron degeneracy pressure could push neutrons into hyperons; indeed, the composition of neutron stars contributes to the "softness" or "stiffness" of the equation of state, therefore setting limits on the possible sizes and masses of neutron stars.

We will present how to calculate propagators on Chroma+QUDA with overlap, HISQ (highly improved staggered quark) and twisted-mass fermion actions. Those actions are not fully supported before and now most of the actions can be used in Chroma framework efficiently. The multi-grid speed-up for the HISQ and Twisted mass actions using QUDA will also be presented.

When using deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to probe hadronic structure, we can use the operator product expansion to approximate the product of currents, using the operators' twist to suppress higher order effects. On the lattice, these operators experience power divergent mixing, which we aim to control by introducing the gradient flow. We study an example in perturbation theory.

The hyperon-nucleon interaction with the strangeness $S=-1$ region is complicated and difficult to investigate because its flavor sector involves all the irreducible representation except the flavor singlet and has the worst signal-to-noise ratio among the Strangeness regions [1-2]. Some efforts to overcome such difficulties will be discussed.

Motivated by studies of Composite Higgs models based on the $SU(4)/Sp(4)$ coset on the one hand and by large-$N$ limit investigations on the other, we analyse the quenched meson spectrum of Symplectic -- $Sp(2N)$ -- gauge theories on the lattice. We examine fermions in the symmetric representation of $Sp(4)$; we also study fermions in the fundamental, antisymmetric and symmetric...

Multilevel techniques in lattice were introduced twenty years ago by Lüscher and Weisz as a way to overcome exponential signal-to-noise decay in lattice gauge theory. It is known that the algorithm performs well when the correlation length of the system is small, and less favourably when it is large. In this project, the transition between these regimes is studied. The 2D-Ising Model is used...

Non-perturbative renormalization of composite operators can be achieved by combining the step-scaling method with an intermediate finite volume renormalization scheme. Matching to low energy physics requires that the finite volume scheme can be accurately evaluated at the bare couplings used in simulations of hadronic physics.

We extract the heavy quark diffusion coefficient $\kappa$ and the resulting momentum broadening $\langle p^2 \rangle$ of a heavy quark embedded in a far-from-equilibrium gluon plasma using classical-statistical lattice simulations. We find several features in the time dependence of the momentum broadening: a short initial rapid growth of $\langle p^2 \rangle$, followed by linear growth with...

We present a method to improve the lattice effective field theory description of the shape of atomic nuclei by applying unitary transformations to the Hamiltonian. The employed unitary operator is constructed as a reflection transformation from the original and the desired wave function. Similarly to a derivative expansion, it can be improved systematically so that one can tune the $\langle...

Heavy quark transport coefficients calculated from first-principles QCD are a crucial input for transport models.

We determine non-perturbatively the renormalization constant of the flavour-singlet local vector current with $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions in a moving reference frame. The renormalization constant is fixed by comparing the expectation values (one-point function) of the local vector current and of the conserved one in thermal QCD with a non-zero imaginary chemical potential and in the chiral...

We investigate a UV completion of a pseudo-Goldstone Composite Higgs model based on a SU(2) gauge theory with two fundamental flavours of Dirac fermions.

Many candidate theories for BSM physics involve Yang-Mills gauge fields coupled to scalars.

It is common practice to truncate the finite-volume formula for K to pi pi, and other one to two transitions, to only include the lowest partial wave, as in the original derivation by Lellouch and Lüscher. However, as the precision of lattice calculations increases, it may become important to asses the systematic effect of this approximation. With this motivation, we compare the S-wave-only...

In GUT-like scenarios it is necessary to break the gauge group to the SM-group. This is usually achieved by adding scalars to the theory, which may introduce one or more possible breaking patterns to the theory. Additionally, a valid description of gauge-symmetry-breaking needs to be manifestly gauge-invariant, which is often neglected in standard phenomenology.
