Frontiers of finite temperature lattice QCD

Abstract

I review a selection of recent finite temperature lattice results of the past years. First I discuss the extension of the equation of state towards high temperatures and fi- nite densities, then I show recent results on the QCD topological susceptibility at high temperatures and highlight its relevance for dark matter search.
