New results on topological susceptibility in SU(3) gauge theory

Abstract

We survey recent lattice results on QCD topological properties. The behaviour of the topological susceptibility at the deconfining phase transition has been determined. This advance has been made possible by an i) an improvement of the topological charge operator and ii) a non-perturbative determination of renormalizations.
