An overview of (selected) recent results in finite-temperature lattice QCD

Abstract

I discuss recent results on lattice QCD calculations with the main emphasis on the thermodynamics of the crossover region, restoration of the chiral symmetry and fluctuations of conserved charges as indicator of deconfinement, that may also be used to determine the chemical freeze-out conditions in heavy-ion collision experiments.
