I review the recent lattice results on spectroscopy and resonances in the past years.
For the conventional hadron spectrum computations,
focus has been put on the isospin breaking effects, QED effects, and simulations near the
physical point. I then go through several single-channel scattering studies
using Luescher formalism which has matured over the past years.
The topics cover light...

Excited states in hadron physics are seen as resonances in the scattering of lighter stable hadrons like $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$. Many decay into multiple final states necessitating coupled-channel analyses. Recently it has become possible to obtain coupled-channel scattering amplitudes from lattice QCD. Using large diverse bases of operators it is possible to obtain reliable finite volume...

The overall accuracy of the Standard Model prediction of the anomalous
magnetic moment of the muon is currently limited by hadronic
effects. I review the status of lattice QCD calculations, aimed at
providing precise estimates for the hadronic vacuum polarisation and
hadronic light-by-light scattering contributions, respectively. In the
case of the leading hadronic vacuum polarisation...

I will review recent advances in describing the dynamics of the QCD string (confining flux tube) both on theoretical and on lattice sides. I will argue that combined efforts of theorists and lattice practitioners may result in a dramatic progress in our understanding of the world sheet theory of the QCD string in the nearest future.

Lattice QCD is making good progress toward calculating the structure and properties of light nuclei and the forces between nucleons. These calculations will ultimately
refine the nuclear forces, particularly in the three- and four-nucleon sector and the
short-distance interactions of nucleons with electroweak currents, and allow for a reduction of uncertainties in nuclear many-body...

Despite the numerous successful applications of lattice QCD in nuclear and particle theory, fundamental algorithmic challenges remain. Among those, relevant for numerical studies of QCD on a space time torus, is topological freezing--a form of critical slowing down, which becomes particularly severe for lattice spacing less than 0.05 fm. In this talk, I will highlight several recently proposed...

In this talk, I will review the recent progress of tensor network approaches;
Hamiltonian/Hilbert-space approach and Lagrangian/path-integral approach,
whose striking feature is free of the sign problem.
As examples, I will show some results of CP(N-1) model including theta-term and other models.
Finally, I will address outstanding problems and discuss future prospects.

Recent calculations of hadron structure observables and related
technical and theoretical advances are reviewed. A wealth of
information on the properties of hadrons can be provided by lattice
methods such as their wavefunctions, response to electromagnetic, weak
or beyond the Standard Model probes and their internal dynamics in
terms of the contributions from quarks and gluons. Progress...

Studying the structure of nucleons is not only important to understanding the strong interactions of quarks and gluons, but also to improving the precision of new-physics searches.
Since a broad class of experiments, including the LHC and dark-matter detection, require Standard-Model backgrounds with parton distribution functions (PDFs) as inputs for disentangling SM contributions from...

In this talk I review the implications of recent lattice QCD results on the phenomenology of flavour and CP-violating meson decays. Precise lattice QCD results for hadronic matrix elements, decay constants and form factors play a crucial role in the determination of CKM matrix elements and in the identification of possible new physics contributions to flavour violating observables. I also...

Heavy meson decays are used to extract the fundamental parameters
in Standard Model such as CKM matrix elements and probe new physics
beyond the Standard Model. Lattice QCD provides a non-perturbative
method to calculate the matrix elements in these processes. In this talk, I
will review recent progress in the study of B and D meson
decay constants, semileptonic decay form factors, B and...

While the discovery of non-zero neutrino masses is one of the most important accomplishments by physicists in the past century, it is still unknown how and in what form these masses arise. Lepton number-violating neutrinoless double beta decay is a natural consequence of Majorana neutrinos and many BSM theories, and several experimental efforts are involved in the search for these processes....

When aiming at a percent precision in hadronic quantities calculated by means of lattice simulations, isospin breaking effects become relevant. These are of two kinds: up/down mass splitting and electromagnetic corrections. In order to properly account for the latter, a consistent formulation of electrically-charged states in finite volume is needed. In fact on a periodic torus Gauss' law and...

Heavy quark system offers opportunities and challenges for theoretical (and experimental) investigations on the properties of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Here, recent progresses in the studies of heavy quarks and quarkonia in QGP are discussed. In particular, the results from the calculation of heavy quark kinetic/chemical equilibration in QGP and those from the studies of quarkonia behaviors at...

Although Monte Carlo calculations using Importance Sampling have matured into the most widely employed method for determining first principle results in QCD, they spectacularly fail for theories with a sign problem or for which certain rare configurations play an important role. Non-Markovian Random walks, based upon iterative refinements of the density-of-states, overcome such overlap...

It is conceivable that the construction of the energy-momentum tensor in lattice field theory enlarges our ability in lattice field theory and also deepens our understanding on the energy-momentum tensor in the non-pertubative level. In this talk, I will review recent developments in this enterprise.

After the discovery of the Higgs boson, the primary objective of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments is to identify new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In fact, both ATLAS and CMS are providing precision tests of the Higgs sector and tantalizing hints of new, unexpected resonances.
One of the most intriguing possibilities would be the discovery of non-perturbative phenomena...

Models of composite dark matter, originating from a new strongly coupled dark sector, have a very interesting phenomenology.
To make robust predictions in these models one often needs to investigate non-perturbative effects due to the strong self interactions.
Lattice field theory methods and numerical simulations are well suited for this task and contribute to a solid uncertainty...

I review some of the different approaches that have been pursued in attempting to define chiral gauge theories on the lattice, all of which are procedures for eliminating unwanted mirror fermions from the theory. I then discuss a recently published proposal with D. Grabowska that combines domain wall fermions with gradient flow as a new idea for how to decouple the mirror fermions, and which...
