We discuss some subtleties in connection with the new attempts to provide a firm basis for ths Witten-Veneziano formula.

We review the current status of determinations of the b-quark mass, m_b. We describe the theoretical tools required for determining m_b, with particular emphasis on effective field theories both in the continuum and on the lattice. We…

A mini-review of the heavy mass expansion in QCD is given. We focus on exclusive semileptonic decays and some topics of recent interest in inclusive decays of heavy hadrons.

In this talk I discuss the origin of mass in quantum chromodynamics in the context of the classical and quantum symmetries of the theory.

Today's QCD problems, prospects and achievements are reviewed.

Computational and theoretical developments in lattice QCD calculations of B and D mesons are surveyed. Several topical examples are given: new ideas for calculating the HQET parameters \bar{\Lambda} and \lambda_1; form factors needed to…

We study the flavour singlet pseudoscalar mesons from first principles using lattice QCD. With N_f=2 flavours of light quark, this is the so-called eta_2 meson and we discuss the phenomenological status of this. Using maximally twisted-mass…

We investigate the masses and decay constants of eta and eta' mesons using the Wilson twisted mass formulation with N_f=2+1+1 dynamical quark flavours based on gauge configurations of ETMC. We show how to efficiently subtract excited state…

We review recent progress from lattice QCD for the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements.

The large mass of the ninth pseudoscalar meson, the $\eta^\prime$, is believed to arise from the combined effects of the axial anomaly and the gauge field topology present in QCD. We report a realistic, 2+1 flavor, lattice QCD calculation…

This paper is removed because it used an approximation, which alters some of the conclusions. Another paper will be written in the near future.

We report the first evidence for the eta_b(2S) using the h_b(2P)->eta_b(2S)gamma transition and the first observation of the h_b(1P)->eta_b(1S)gamma and h_b(2P)->eta_b(1S)gamma transitions. The mass and width of the eta_b(1S) and eta_b(2S)…

We report first results of an ongoing project devoted to the analytical calculation of the QCD $\beta$-function and the quark mass anomalous dimension at the five loop level.

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to three jet heavy quark production in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, including quark mass effects, are presented. The extraction of the b-quark mass form LEP data is considered and the first experimental…

This presentation reports on recent developments concerning basic aspects of low-energy QCD as they relate to the understanding of the nucleon mass and the nuclear many-body problem.

We show that it is necessary to go beyond the BCS (rainbow-ladder) approximation to split the $\eta$ and $\eta'$ masses from the $\pi$ and K masses. We determine the self-consistent set of one-quark-loop diagrams both for the…

We present a lattice QCD computation of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ masses and mixing angles, for the first time controlling continuum and quark mass extrapolations. The results for the eta mass 551(8)(6) MeV (first error statistical, second…

This talk provides a brief summary of the status of lattice QCD calculations of the light quark masses and the kaon bag parameter B_K. Precise estimates of these four fundamental parameters of the standard model, i.e., m_u, m_d, m_s and the…

The mass of the eta_b(1S), measured recently by BABAR, is significantly lower than expected from QCD predictions for the Upsilon(1S) - eta_b(1S) hyperfine splitting. We suggest that the observed eta_b(1S) mass is shifted downwards due to a…

In this talk some of the theoretical aspects of $b \to s \gamma$ transitions are discussed. The focus is on inclusive decays, since these can be computed more reliably. Topics covered are (1) perturbative QCD corrections, (2)…
