Using the "Liouville space'' (the space of operators) of the massive Ising model of quantum field theory, there is a natural definition of form factors in any mixed state. These generalize the usual form factors, and are building blocks for…

We provide explicit expressions for boundary form factors in the boundary scaling Lee-Yang model for operators with the mildest ultraviolet behavior for all integrable boundary conditions. The form factors of the boundary stress tensor take…
The shape of the vector and scalar K_{l3} form factors is investigated by exploiting analyticity and unitarity in a model-independent formalism. The method uses as input dispersion relations for certain correlators computed in perturbative…
We analyse the forward error in the floating point summation of real numbers, from algorithms that do not require recourse to higher precision or better hardware. We derive informative explicit expressions, and new deterministic and…
We present a method for parametrizing heavy meson semileptonic form factors using dispersion relations, and from it produce a two-parameter description of the B -> B elastic form factor. We use heavy quark symmetry to relate this function…
The $D^*D\pi$ form factor is evaluated at low and moderate $Q^2$ in a hadronic loop model, for off-shell $D$ mesons. The results contain arbitrary constants, which are fixed so as to match previous QCD sum rule calculations valid at higher…
We re-examine the use of sum rules in the extraction of light quark masses and discuss a number of potential problems with existing analyses. The most important issue is that of the overall normalization of the hadronic spectral functions…

We employ QCD sum rules to calculate the $J/\psi DD^*$ form factors and coupling constant by studying the three-point $J/\psi D^*D$ correlation function. We find that the momentum dependence of the form factor depends on the off-shell…
We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decays within the framework of QCD sum rules. The flavor $ SU(3) $ symmetry breaking effects are analyzed via the relevant form factors and corresponding branching fractions. Employing the $ z…
We give a unified treatment of dispersive sum rules for four-point correlators in conformal field theory. We call a sum rule dispersive if it has double zeros at all double-twist operators above a fixed twist gap. Dispersive sum rules have…
A comprehensive study is made for the magnetic moments of octet baryons in the method of QCD sum rules. A complete set of QCD sum rules is derived using the external field method and generalized interpolating fields. For each member, three…
Partial sum rules are widely used in physics to separate low- and high-energy degrees of freedom of complex dynamical systems. Their application, though, is challenged in practice by the always finite spectrometer bandwidth and is often…
Tree ensembles are non-parametric methods widely recognized for their accuracy and ability to capture complex interactions. While these models excel at prediction, they are difficult to interpret and may fail to uncover useful relationships…
We discuss the extraction of the ground state $\langle \mathrm{K} ({\bf p})|V_\mu(0)|\mathrm{B} ({\bf 0})\rangle$ matrix elements from Euclidean lattice correlation functions. The emphasis is on the elimination of excited state…

We provide a set of sum rules relating CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-asymmetries of the $B \to \pi K$ modes. They prove to be useful as a mechanism to `test' experimental data given our expectations of the size of isospin breaking. A…
