Abstract

We discuss recent developments in lattice QCD for the bulk thermodynamics of the transition. We review the current status of the equation of state, the possible implications of a magnetic field and the fluctuations of conserved charges, like the net electric charge or baryon number. We also show predictions for higher cumulants, which will be experimentally available in near future.
