Hot electroweak matter
This talk summarises recent results on lattice Monte Carlo studies of finite T electroweak phase transition. Particular attention is given to the 3d effective theory approach, replacing the full 4d theory by a three dimensional effective theory of the modes constant in imaginary time.

Quantum gravity and spin systems
A new method for nonperturbative investigations of quantum gravity is presented in which the simplicial path integral is approximated by the partition function of a spin system. This facilitates analytical and numerical computations considerably. In two dimensions equivalence to an Ising model with ternary couplings is...

Complex-Temperature Singularities in the $d=2$ Ising Model. III. Honeycomb Lattice
We study complex-temperature properties of the uniform and staggered susceptibilities $\chi$ and $\chi^{(a)}$ of the Ising model on the honeycomb lattice. From an analysis of low-temperature series expansions, we find evidence that $\chi$ and $\chi^{(a)}$ both have divergent singularities at the point $z=-1 \equiv z_{\...

A Lattice Study of Semi-leptonic Decays of $D$-Mesons
We present results of a lattice computation of the matrix elements of the vector and axial-vector currents which are relevant for the semi-leptonic decays $D \rightarrow K$ and $D \rightarrow K^*$. The computations are performed in the quenched approximation to lattice QCD on a $24^3 \times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$ u...

The Coulomb-Higgs transition of the three-parameter U(1)-Higgs model

Sphaleron transition rate at high temperature in the 1+1 D abelian Higgs model
New results for the rate are presented using the canonical ensemble in the classical approximation on a spatial lattice. We find that the rate at high temperatures is proportional to $T^2$, and strongly dependent on the lattice spacing $a$. We conclude that a better effective action is needed for the classical approxim...

Nature of the finite temperature transition in QCD with strange quark
The finite temperature transition in QCD is studied using Wilson quarks for the cases of $N_F=2$, 3 and 2+1. For $N_F=2$ the transition is smooth in the chiral limit on both $\nt=4$ and 6 lattices. For $N_F=3$, clear two state signals are observed for $\beta\leq4.7$ on $8^2\times10 \times4$ and $12^3\times4$ lattices, ...
