Lattice quantum chromodynamics: Some topics

I review some topics in lattice quantum chromodynamics, focusing more on the recent results. These include: (i) the QCD phase diagram in the μ–T plane, (ii) the quark number susceptibilities, and (iii) the screening lengths.

Dynamical fermions in lattice quantum chromodynamics

The thesis will present results in Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) with dynamical lattice fermions. The topological susceptibilty in QCD is determined, the calculations are carried out with dynamical overlap fermions. The most important properties of the quark-gluon plasma phase of QCD are studied, for which dynamical staggered fermions are used.

Approximate Dynamical Symmetry * in Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics

We discuss the phenomenological implications of an approximate SU(6) x SU(6) x U(1) symmetry of hadron physics which remains after dynamical symmetry breaking in the strong-coupling lattice gauge theory. This symmetry is similar to but differs in an essential fashion from . previous versions of SU(6) x SU(6) or SU(6)W. The difference resolves some of the problems of the older schemes-for exampl...
