Recent lattice QCD results and phase diagram of strongly interacting matter

Abstract

I review recent lattice QCD results on a few selected topics which are relevant to the heavy ion physics community. Special emphasis is put on the QCD equation of state at vanishing and nonzero baryon chemical potential, the onset of deconfinement of open strange and charmed hadrons, the contribution from experimentally not yet observed hadrons to the thermodynamics of the hadronic gas and their influence on freeze-out conditions of strange and light-quark hadrons.
