Lattice calculation may play an important role to understand the cause of the long-standing puzzle among the determination of $|V_{cb}|$. The key element is the computation of the inclusive decay rate, for which the formalism is under development. The method has its own problem: the approximation of the phase-space factor and finite volume effect. I discuss the current status of such study and future prospects., Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures; a talk presented at EuroPLEx2023, Sep 2023, Berlin

Lattice calculation of $B\to D^{(*)}\ell\bar\nu$ decay form factors is now available from multiple lattice collaborations for both zero-recoil limit and non-zero recoil kinematics. Yet, there are a number of challenges we face to better control the systematic errors and to extend the application of lattice calculations to related quantities. The subjects are chosen from my own perspective and not meant to be conprehensive., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures; a talk presented at EuroPLEx2023, Sep 2023, Berlin

With the development of lattice QCD in recent years, a determination of decay rates for inclusive semileptonic decays from lattice correlators now seems viable. We report on the calculation of the inclusive semileptonic decay of the $D_s$ meson on the lattice. We simulate the $D_s \rightarrow X_s\ell\nu_\ell$ process with M\"obius domain-wall charm and strange quarks, whose masses were approximately tuned to the physical values. We cover the whole kinematical region. We present a general overview on how the inclusive decays are treated on the lattice and discuss ongoing challenges, such as the estimation of systematic errors and future prospects of the project., Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, Presented at the 12th Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle, 18-22 September 2023, Santiago de Compostela

We study the $U(1)_A$ anomaly at high temperatures of $N_f=2+1$ lattice QCD with chiral fermions. Gauge ensembles are generated with M\"obius domain-wall (MDW) fermions, and the measurements are reweighted to those with overlap fermions. We report on the results for the Dirac spectra, the $U(1)_A$ susceptibility, and the topological susceptibility in the temperature range of $T=136$, $153$, $175$, and $204$ MeV, where the up and down quark masses are set to be near the physical point as well as at lighter or heavier masses., Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 1 table; Proceedings of the 40th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (Lattice 2023), July 31st - August 4th, 2023, Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois, USA

Based on simulations of 2+1 flavor lattice QCD with M\"obius domain wall fermions at high temperatures, we compute a series of spatial correlation functions to study the screening masses in mesonic states. We compare these masses with the symmetry relations for various quark masses and lattice sizes at temperatures above the critical point. Using these spatial correlation functions we examine the $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ symmetry as well as the anomalously broken axial $U(1)_A$ symmetry. Additionally we explore a possible and emergent chiral-spin symmetry $SU(2)_{CS}$., Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, Contribution to the 40th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (Lattice 2023)

We present an update on the study of the QCD phase transition with 3 flavors of M\"obius domain wall fermions at zero baryon density. We performed simulations on lattices of size $36^3\times12\times16$ and $24^3\times12\times32$ with a variety of quark masses at a fixed lattice spacing $a=0.1361(20)$ fm, which correspond to a temperature 121(2) MeV. By analyzing the chiral condensate, chiral susceptibilitities and Binder cumulant on $36^3\times12\times16$ lattices together with the result obtained from our previous study on $24^3\times12\times16$ lattices, we identified a crossover occurring at quark mass around $m_q^{\mathrm{\overline {MS}}}(2\, \mathrm{GeV}) \sim 3-4$ MeV for this temperature. Besides, we show the effects of residual chiral symmetry breaking on chiral condensate and chiral susceptibilities between $L_s=16$ and 32., Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, Contribution to the 40th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (Lattice 2023), July 31 to August 4, 2023, Fermilab, USA

We report on our on-going study of the $B_s \to K\ell\nu$ decay in $N_f=2+1$ lattice QCD. We employ fully relativistic setup in which the M\"obius domain-wall action is used for all quark flavors. The lattice cutoff is $a^{-1} \sim 2.5$ GeV, where we take bottom quark masses up to $m_Q\!<\!0.7a^{-1}$ in order to control discretization errors. We present preliminary results for the relevant form factors extracted from correlator ratios by inspecting their ground state saturation., Comment: 8 pages, $ figures, Lattice 2023
