I review the present status of few-body nuclear and hyper-nuclear calculations from lattice QCD, highlighting the challenges that have been overcome both theoretically and algorithmically within the past few years. I describe the current issues related to this field and conclude by discussing calculations that are anticipated in the near future and their potential impact on other physics disciplines.

The theory of spontaneous symmetry breaking and Nambu-Goldstone modes (bosons) was developed in 1960’s. When a global symmetry is spontaneously broken, there appears a gapless excitation mode, the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) mode. The theorem is based on Lorentz invariance of the grand state, and it implies that the number of NG modes coincides with the number of broken generators, and they have the...

Topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations are an interesting aspect of non-abelian gauge theories. These become particularly important upon quantizing the theory, especially through their effect on the pseudo-scalar spectrum. These effects are closely tied to chiral anomalies and the possibility of CP violation in the strong interactions. This talk will review these topics.
