Abstract

We discuss some recent lattice results on a few selected hadronic quantities relevant for heavy flavour phenomenology and present some recent theoretical developments. We put the emphasis on the challenges, which have to be faced, on the way to precise heavy flavour physics from the lattice. We also discuss the importance in the search for New Physics of possible future lattice studies of the form factors entering B --> K and B --> K* semileptonic decays.
