摘要:I critically review recent lattice QCD results relevant for kaon phenomenology, as well as the
methods that are used to obtain them. The focus is on calculations with Nf = 2 and Nf = 2+1
flavors of sea quarks. Concerning methodology, the subjects covered include a discussion of
how best to extrapolate and/or interpolate results to the physical quark-mass point, a scheme for
assessing the extent to which a lattice QCD calculation includes the various effects required to
compute a given quantity reliably and a procedure for averaging lattice results. The phenomenological
topics that I review comprise leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays, as well as neutral
kaon mixing and CP violation in K →pp decays.
