We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limit of glueball masses in the valence (quenched) approximation to lattice QCD. For the lightest states with $J^{PC}$ of $0^{++}$ and $2^{++}$, we obtain $m_0 = 1340 \pm 160$ MeV and $m_2 = 1900 \pm 320$ MeV.
We evaluate $f_π/ m_ρ$, $f_K/ m_ρ$, $1/f_ρ$, and $ m_ϕ/(f_ϕ m_ρ)$, extrapolated to physical quark mass, zero lattice spacing and infinite volume, for lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation. The predicted $m_ϕ/(f_ϕ m_ρ)$ differs from experiment by less than its statistical uncertainty of approximately 15\%. The other three constants are 10\% to 20\% below experiment, equivalent to between one and two times the corresponding statistical uncertainties.
We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limits of eight hadron mass ratios predicted by lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation. Each predicted ratio differs from the corresponding observed value by less than 6\%.
We obtain estimates of several hadron mass ratios, for Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation, extrapolated to physical quark mass, infinite volume and zero lattice spacing.
