Description
I will review the recent progress and results on the
bulk thermodynamic properties of QCD matter from Lattice. In particular I will
highlight the recent calculations of the equation of state, pressure of
QCD matter to the finite baryon density regime as far as $\mu_B/T~2.5$, giving
us some preliminary bounds on the location of the critical end-point.
I will also stress upon the fact that Lattice techniques are now entering
into precision era where it can provide us with new insights on even the
microscopic degrees of freedom in different phases of QCD. I will discuss
some instances from the recent studies of of topological fluctuations and
screening masses. The progress in the understanding of transport
properties of the QCD matter and the effects of anomalous $U_A(1)$
symmetry on the chiral crossover transition will also be discussed.
