The procedure to calculate masses and matrix-elements in the presence of mixing of the basis states is explained in detail. We then apply this procedure to the two-loop calculation in Chiral Perturbation Theory of pseudoscalar masses and…
We describe a recent lattice-QCD calculation of the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons containing charm and bottom quarks and of the masses of the up, down, strange, charm, and bottom quarks. Results for these…
We compute and compare the continuum limits of several quantities in QCD with and without a dynamical charm quark. We consider both low energy quantities, like the hadronic scales $r_0$ and $t_0$, and high energy quantities, like the…
The paper is devoted to the calculation of the two-loop O(alpha_s y^2) and O(y^4) MSSM corrections to the relation between the pole mass of the b-quark and its running mass in DR scheme. To evaluate the needed diagrams the large mass…
This talk presents some results relevant for lattice QCD at higher order in ChPT. First we discuss the finite volume corrections at two loops for the quark condensate as well as a L\"uscherlike finite volume formula for it. The latter…
The correlator of heavy-quark currents is calculated in quenched Lattice QCD on a $16^3 \times 32$-lattice for $\beta= { 6, 6.3 }$. The renormalized charmed quark mass is extracted from the short-distance part of that correlator:…

In this research, the strong coupling constants of the $D^*D_s^*K$, $D_1D_{s1}K$, $D^*D_sK$ and $D_1D_{s0}^*K$ vertices are evaluated, using the three-point QCD sum rules. In order to calculate the coupling constant of each vertex, either…

We study the dependence on the charm quark mass of the leading-order low-energy constants of the $\Delta S=1$ effective Hamiltonian, with the aim of elucidating the role of the charm mass scale in the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule for $K\to\pi\pi$…
The matching condition which determines the effect of a heavy quark threshold on the running of the QCD coupling $\alpha_{\overline{MS}}$ is reviewed. The matching scale is arbitrary to some extent. However, this affects the value of…
We demonstrate that sea quark effects of a magnitude expected from renormalization group considerations are clearly visible in the strong coupling constant measured in current full QCD simulations. Building on this result an estimate of…

We study the effective theory of decoupling of a charm quark at low energies. We do this by simulating a model, QCD with two mass-degenerate charm quarks. At leading order the effective theory is a pure gauge theory. By computing ratios of…

Including contributions of scale-dependent vacuum expectation values of Higgs scalars, we derive new one-loop formulas analytically for running quark-lepton masses at higher scales in MSSM. Apart from the gauge-coupling dependence being…
