Description

In this talk I will present a general perspective on the topological properties and theta-angle dependence of gauge theories at finite temperature. The main aim is to highlight the physical ideas involved and discuss some recent results obtained by using Lattice QCD simulations, trying to avoid as much as possible technical details. Besides the theoretical interest of studying a completely non-perturbative aspect of QCD, this subject has also some direct phenomenological implications, being strictly connected to the physics of axions and to their possible role as dark matter candidates.
