In this talk we review the theoretical status of the lifetime ratios of heavy hadrons and of the B-mixing quantities $\Delta M_s$, $\Delta \Gamma_s$ and $\phi_s$. While $\Delta M_s$ and $\Delta \Gamma_s$ suffer from large uncertainties due…

By modifying Beukers' proof of Apery's theorem that zeta(3) is irrational, we derive criteria for irrationality of Euler's constant, gamma. For n > 0, we define a double integral I(n) and a positive integer S(n), and prove that if d(n) =…
