We report on lattice QCD results for the thermodynamic equation of state of quark-gluon matter obtained with Nf=2 degenerate quark flavors. For the fermion field discretization we are using the Wilson-twisted mass prescription. Simulations have been carried out at three values of the bare quark masses corresponding to pion masses of 360, 430 and 640 MeV. We highlight the importance of a good control of the lattice cutoff dependence of the trace anomaly which we have studied at several values of the inverse temperature 1/T = a Nt with a time-like lattice extent up to Nt=12. We contrast our results with those of other groups obtained for Nf=0 and Nf=2+1. At low temperature we also confront them with hadron resonance gas model predictions for the trace anomaly.

We compute the Landau gauge quark propagator from lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical O(a)-improved Wilson fermions. The calculation is carried out with lattice spacings ranging from 0.06 fm to 0.08 fm, with quark masses corresponding to pion m asses of 420, 290 and 150 MeV, and for volumes of up to (4.5fm)^4. Our ensembles allow us to evaluate lattice spacing, volume and quark mass effects. We find that the quark wave function which is suppressed in the infrared, is further suppressed as the quark mass is reduced, but the suppression is weakened as the volume is increased. The quark mass function M(p^2) shows only a weak volume dependence. Hypercubic artefacts beyond O(a) are reduced by applying both cylinder cuts and H4 extrapolations. The H4 extrapolation shifts the quark wave function systematically upwards but does not perform well for the mass function.
We present results of a first study of equation of state in finite-temperature QCD with two flavors of Wilson-type quarks. Simulations are made on lattices with temporal size $N_t=4$ and 6, using an RG-improved action for the gluon sector and a meanf ield-improved clover action for the quark sector. The lines of constant physics corresponding to fixed values of the ratio $m_{rm PS}/m_{rm V}$ of the pseudo-scalar to vector meson masses at zero temperature are determined, and the beta functions which describe the renormalization-group flow along these lines are calculated. Using these results, the energy density and the pressure are calculated as functions of temperature along the lines of constant physics in the range $m_{rm PS}/m_{rm V} = 0.65$--0.95. The quark mass dependence in the equation of state is found to be small for $m_{rm PS}/m_{rm V} simlt 0.8$. Comparison of results for $N_t=4$ and $N_t=6$ lattices show significant scaling violation present in the $N_t=4$ results. At high temperatures the results for $N_t=6$ are quite close to the continuum Stefan-Boltzmann limit, suggesting the possibility of a precise continuum extrapolation of thermodynamic quantities from simulations at $N_tsimgt 6$.
We study the two-dimensional lattice Gross--Neveu model with Wilson twisted mass fermions in order to explore the phase structure in this setup. In particular, we investigate the behaviour of the phase transitions found earlier with standard Wilson f ermions as a function of the twisted mass parameter $mu$. We find that qualitatively the dependence of the phase transitions on $mu$ is very similar to the case of lattice QCD.
I report on the first application of a novel, generalized Bayesian reconstruction (BR) method for spectral functions to the characterization of QCD constituents. These spectral functions find applications in off-shell kinetics of the quark-gluon plas ma and in calculations of transport coefficients. The new BR method is applied to Euclidean propagator data, obtained in Landau gauge on lattices with $N_f=2+1+1$ dynamical flavors by the twisted mass at finite temperature (tmfT) collaboration. The deployed reconstruction method is designed for spectral functions that can exhibit positivity violation (opposed to that of hadronic bound states). The transversal and longitudinal gluon spectral functions show a robust structure composed of quasiparticle peak and a negative trough. Characteristic differences between the hadronic and the plasma phase and between the two channels become visible. We obtain the temperature dependence of the transversal and longitudinal gluon masses.

The masses of the low-lying strange and charm baryons are evaluated using two degenerate flavors of twisted mass sea quarks for pion masses in the range of about 260 MeV to 450 MeV. The strange and charm valence quark masses are tuned to reproduce th e mass of the kaon and D-meson at the physical point. The tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action is employed. We use three values of the lattice spacing, corresponding to $beta=3.9$, $beta=4.05$ and $beta=4.2$ with $r_0/a=5.22(2)$, $r_0/a=6.61(3)$ and $r_0/a=8.31(5)$ respectively. %spacings $a=0.0855(5)$ and $a=0.0667(3)$ determined from the pion decay constant. We examine the dependence of the strange and charm baryons on the lattice spacing and strange and charm quark masses. The pion mass dependence is studied and physical results are obtained using heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory to extrapolate to the physical point.
