We review the current methods and results of lattice simulations of quantum chromodynamics at nonzero temperatures and densities. The review is intended to introduce the subject to interested nonspecialists and beginners. It includes a brief overview of lattice gauge theory, a discussion of the determination of the crossover temperature, the QCD phase diagram at zero and nonzero densities, the equation of state, some in-medium properties of hadrons including charmonium, and some plasma...

We show how the standard domain wall action can be simply modified to allow arbitrarily exact chiral symmetry at finite fifth dimensional extent. We note that the method can be used for both quenched and dynamical calculations. We test the method using smooth and thermalized gauge field configurations. We also make comparisons of the performance (cost) of the domain wall operator for spectroscopy compared to other methods such as the overlap-Dirac operator and find both methods are comparable...

We determine the critical couplings for the deconfinement phase transition in $SU(2)$ gauge theory on $N_\tau \times N_\sigma^3$ lattices with $N_\tau = 8$ and 16 and $N_\sigma$ varying between 16 and 48. A comparison with string tension data shows scaling of the ratio $T_c / \sqrt{\sigma}$ in the entire coupling regime $\beta =2.30-2.75$, while the individual quantities still exhibit large scaling violations. We find $T_c / \sqrt{\sigma}=0.69(2)$. We also discuss in detail the extrapolation of...

From the long-distance behaviour of gluon and Polyakov loop correlation functions we extract masses resp. energies in the electric and magnetic sectors. We discuss their dependence on the temperature and on the momentum as well as the relevance of an improvement of the lattice discretization of the action.

We study the gluon propagator and the singlet potential in Landau gauge in the deconfined phase of SU(2) lattice gauge theory, using both the standard Wilson action and a tree-level Symanzik improved action. From the long-distance behavior of correlation functions of temporal and spatial components of the gauge fields we extract electric (m_e) and magnetic (m_m) screening masses. For the magnetic mass we find m_m(T) = 0.456(6) g^2(T) T. The electric mass can be described by a next-to leading...

We analyze the cut-off dependence of the fermion contribution to the finite temperature free energy density in ${\cal O}(g^2)$ lattice perturbation theory for several improved staggered fermion actions. Cut-off effects are drastically reduced for the Naik action and an action with improved rotational symmetry of the quark propagator. We show that improvement of rotational symmetry at ${\cal O}(g^2)$ further reduces cut-off effects in thermodynamic observables. We also show that the introduction...

Lattice work, exploring the Higgs mass triviality bound, seems to indicate that a strongly interacting scalar sector in the minimal standard model cannot exist while low energy QCD phenomenology seems to indicate that it could. We attack this puzzle using the 1/N expansion and discover a simple criterion for selecting a lattice action that is more likely to produce a heavy Higgs particle. Our large $N$ calculation suggests that the Higgs mass bound might be around $850 GeV$, which is about 30%...

We investigate universality, scaling, the beta-function and the topological charge in the positive plaquette model for SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Comparing physical quantities, like the critical temperature, the string tension, glueball masses, and their ratios, we explore the effect of a complete suppression of a certain lattice artifact, namely the negative plaquettes, for SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Our result is that this modification does not change the continuum limit, i.e., the...

The microscopic spectral density of the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator is computed numerically in quenched lattice QCD. We demonstrate that the results given for fixed index of the Wilson-Dirac operator can be matched by the predictions from Wilson chiral perturbation theory. We test successfully the finite volume and the mass scaling predicted by Wilson chiral perturbation theory at fixed lattice spacing.

Previous large $N$ calculations are combined with numerical work at $N=4$ to show that the Minimal Standard Model will describe physics to an accuracy of a few percent up to energies of the order 2 to 4 times the Higgs mass, $M_H$, only if $M_H \le 710\pm60 ~ GeV$. This bound is the result of a systematic search in the space of dimension six operators and is expected to hold in the {\it continuum}.

The large range of lattice spacings obtained by combining our results with earlier ones on finer lattices, allow us to present a convincing demonstration of the efficiency of non-perturbative O(a) improvement.

We develop the classification of such operators under the symmetry group of the `$z$-slice'. In the confined phase of the theory, we find that the spectrum dynamically realises the zero temperature symmetries. We observe a large thermal shift of the $0^{++}$ glueball mass. In the deconfined phase, the spectrum...

The improved Wilson quark action - the clover action - is constructed to have smaller discretization errors than the normal Wilson quark action. We test this in a quenched spectroscopy computation on 6 lattice ensembles with spacings from 0.15 to 0.43 fm. To ensure that the dominant scaling violations come from the fermions we use an $O(a^2)$ improved 6-link $SU(3)$ pure gauge action. We find evidence that fermionic scaling violations are consistent with $O(a^2)$ for clover fermions and $O(a)$...

We calculate the static potential $V_W(T,{\vec R})$ from Wilson loops on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice and compare with the predictions of lattice perturbation theory. We investigate finite size effects and, in particular, the importance of non-Coulomb contributions to the potential. We also comment on the existence of a maximal coupling in the Coulomb phase of pure gauge U(1) theory.

Three-dimensional lattice QCD is studied by Monte Carlo simulations within the quenched approximation. At zero temperature a quark-antiquark condensate is observed in the limit of vanishing quark masses. The condensate vanishes continuously at the finite-temperature deconfinement phase transition of the theory. A natural interpretation of this phenomenon in the full theory with dynamical quarks is in terms of the spontaneous flavor symmetry breaking $U(N_f) \to U(N_f/2)\times U(N_f/2)$. In...

We calculate the response of the microscopic Dirac spectrum to an imaginary isospin chemical potential for QCD with two dynamical flavors in the chiral limit. This extends our previous calculation from the quenched to the unquenched theory. The resulting spectral correlation function in the $\epsilon$-regime provides here, too, a new and efficient way to measure $F_\pi$ on the lattice. We test the method in a hybrid Monte Carlo simulation of the theory with two staggered quarks.

We investigate the quark propagator with an improved staggered action (Asqtad) and an improved gluon action, which provides good quality data down to small quark masses. This is used to construct ans\"{a}tze suitable for model hadron calculations as well as adding to our intuitive understanding of QCD.

We test the asymptotic scaling behavior of state-of-the-art simulations of QCD with two flavors of light Wilson fermions. This is done by matching $\pi$ and $\rho$ masses on lattices of size $16^3\times32$ and $8^3\times16$. We find that at $\beta=6/g^2=5.3$ matching is not possible over a range extending down to $\beta=3.5$. The large lattice data at $\beta=5.5$ matches the small lattice values at $\beta=4.9(1)$ leading to a shift $\Delta\beta=0.6(1)$, considerably larger than the perturbative...

Results of an investigation of the $O(4)$ spin model at finite temperature using anisotropic lattices are presented. In both the large $N$ approximation and numerical simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm we find that the ratio of the symmetry restoration temperature $T_{\rm SR}$ to the Higgs mass $m_{\rm H}$ is independent of the anisotropy $\xi$. From the numerical simulations we obtain a lower bound of $T_{\rm SR} / m_{\rm H} \simeq 0.58 \pm 0.02$ at a value for the Higgs mass...

We compute the heavy quark potential on configurations generated by the HEMCGC collaboration with dynamical staggered fermions at $6/g^2 = 5.6$ and with dynamical Wilson fermions at $6/g^2 = 5.3$. The computations are done on $16^3 \times 32$ lattices, corresponding to physical sizes of about 1.6 and 2.3 fm, respectively. Up to the distances probed no sign of string breaking is detectable. We also compute the recently proposed scale $r_0$ defined by $r_0^2 F(r_0) = 1.65$.

We consider the chiral limit of QCD subjected to an imaginary isospin chemical potential. In the epsilon-regime of the theory we can perform precise analytical calculations based on the zero-momentum Goldstone modes in the low-energy effective theory. We present results for the spectral correlation functions of the associated Dirac operators.

We study QCD with two flavors of dynamical Wilson fermions at $\beta = 5.5$ and three values of $\kappa$. The corresponding pion masses are 0.375, 0.324 and 0.262 in lattice units, with pion to rho mass ratios of 0.76, 0.71 and 0.62, respectively. We use the configurations to compute the heavy quark potential, leading to lattice spacings of 0.110, 0.105 and 0.099 fm, and to compute spectroscopy for several different valence quark $\kappa$'s.

We present results of a detailed investigation of the temperature dependence of the spatial string tension in SU(2) gauge theory. We show, for the first time, that the spatial string tension is scaling on the lattice and thus is non-vanishing in the continuum limit. It is temperature independent below Tc and rises rapidly above. For temperatures larger than 2Tc we find a scaling behaviour consistent with sigma_s(T) = 0.136(11) g^4(T) T^2, where g(T) is the 2-loop running coupling constant with...

We present a lattice investigation, partially including the effects of dynamical quarks, of the heavy-light mesons using NRQCD for the heavy quark and the Wilson action for the light quark. We performed an extensive calculation of the spectrum employing a multi-state, multi-exponential fitting analysis which enabled us to extract the $2S{-}1S$ splitting as well as the $^1P_1{-}\bar{S}$ and hyperfine splittings. The Wilson action introduces a large systematic error into the calculation, and...

We present {\it preliminary} results for the decay constants of heavy-light mesons using NRQCD heavy and tadpole improved Clover light quarks. A comparison is made with data obtained using Wilson light quarks. We present an analysis of the 1/M corrections to the decay constants in the static limit and compare with the predictions of HQET.

We present data for the scaling behavior of lattice QCD with two flavors of light Wilson fermions. This is done by matching $\pi$ n and $\rho$ masses at the two lattice sizes of $16^3\times32 $ and $8^3\times16$. We find that at $\beta=6/g^2\equiv5.3$ the matching does not occur over a range extending down to $\beta=3.5$. For $\beta=5.5$ matching may be achieved at $\beta=4.8-4.9$, leading to a $\Delta \beta =0.6-0.7$ which is higher than the perturbative 2-loop value of 0.45. In both cases we...
