A bstract We investigate the topological properties of N f= 2+ 1 QCD with physical quark
masses, both at zero and finite temperature. We adopt stout improved staggered fermions …

We review recent progress in the study of the large N_c N c limit of gauge theories from
lattice simulations. The focus is not only the planar limit but also the size of O (N_c^-1) O (N c …

A bstract We investigate, by means of numerical lattice simulations, the θ-dependence of the
critical deconfinement temperature of SU (N) gauge theories at large N: T c (θ)= T c (0)[1–Rθ …

A bstract We study the θ-dependence of the string tension and of the lightest glueball mass
in four-dimensional SU (N) Yang-Mills theories. More precisely, we focus on the coefficients …

The observed baryon asymmetry in the universe cannot be reconciled with the current form
of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The Standard Model breaks charge …

We calculate the electric dipole moment of the nucleon induced by the quantum
chromodynamics θ term. We use the gradient flow to define the topological charge and use …

We investigate the role of topology on the lattice determination of the SU (3) strong coupling
renormalized via gradient flow. To deal with the topological freezing of standard local …

A bstract We simulate 4d SU (N) pure-gauge theories at large N using a parallel tempering
scheme that combines simulations with open and periodic boundary conditions …

The energy density and the pressure of SU (3) gauge theory at finite temperature are studied
by direct lattice measurements of the renormalized energy-momentum tensor obtained by …

Using a finite volume gradient flow renormalization scheme with Schrödinger Functional
boundary conditions, we compute the nonperturbative running coupling in the range 2.2≲ …
