Recent lattice results relevant for heavy ion collisions

Abstract

I summarize recent lattice results on QCD at finite temperatures and densities. Studies on the nature of the QCD transition at the physical point, continuum extra polations of thermodynamic quantities, and new calculations of hadronic spectral functions applying the maximum entropy method are discussed. Recent advances in finite density QCD are also reviewed.
