The saturation of the two Weinberg sum rules is studied at finite temperature, using recent independent QCD sum rule results for the thermal behaviour of hadronic parameters in the vector and axial-vector channels. Both sum rules are very…

Within the framework of the operator product expansion (OPE) and the renormalization group equation (RGE), we show that the temperature and chemical potential dependence of the zeroth moment of a spectral function (SF) is completely…
Hadronic tau decay data is used to study the reliability of various finite energy sum rules (FESR's). For intermediate scales (of order 2-3 GeV^2), those FESR's with weights s^k are found to have significant errors, whereas those with…
QCD sum rules are useful tools for studying the spectral properties of hadrons; however, assumptions underlying standard sum-rule analyses can lead to inconsistencies with known results of chiral perturbation theory. This possibility is…
Recent ALEPH/OPAL data on the V-A spectral functions from hadronic tau decays are used for fixing the QCD continuum threshold at which the first and second Weinberg sum rules should be satisfied in the chiral limit, and for predicting the…
The spectral function $\rho_{V-A}(s)$ is determined from ALEPH and OPAL data on hadronic tau decays using a neural network parametrization trained to retain the full experimental information on errors, their correlations and chiral sum…
Borel transformed QCD sum rules conventionally use a real valued parameter (the Borel mass) for specifying the exponential weight over which hadronic spectral functions are averaged. In this paper, it is shown that the Borel mass can be…
We propose a method to use lattice QCD to compute the Borel transform of the vacuum polarization function appearing in the Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov QCD sum rule. We construct the spectral sum corresponding to the Borel transform from…
We study the full distribution $P(E)$ of the ground-state energy of a single quantum particle in a potential $V(\boldsymbol{x}) = V_0(\boldsymbol{x}) + \sqrt{\epsilon} \, v_1(\boldsymbol{x})$, where $V_0(\boldsymbol{x})$ is a deterministic…
