Recent results on topology on the lattice (in memory of Pierre van Baal)

Abstract

Memorizing Pierre van Baal we will shortly review his life and his scientific achievements. Starting then with some basics in gauge field topology we mainly will discuss recent efforts in determining the topological susceptibility in lattice QCD.
