Progress in kaon physics on the lattice


Abstract in English

CKM-unitarity, direct and indirect CP-violation and the Delta I=1/2 rule in full lattice QCD are the focus of this talk. To this end I will discuss and compare recent lattice results for leptonic, semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays of the kaon and neutral kaon mixing and I will motivate current best estimates f_K/f_pi=1.198(10), f_+^{Kpi}(0)=0.964(5) and hat{B}_K=0.720(39). Moreover new theoretical advances that will improve the quality of these computations in the future will be discussed.
