We present a study of {\it finite} $a$ and {\it volume} effects of the leptonic decay constant $f$ of heavy pseudoscalar mesons in the static approximation. This study is performed on a number of lattices at $\beta=$ 5.74,~6.0 and 6.26…
The QCD sum rules in the large-$N_c$ limit for the light non-strange vector, axial and scalar mesons are considered assuming a string-like linear spectrum for the radially excited states. We propose a improved method for combined analysis…

We discuss exclusive decays of large spin mesons into mesons in models of large N_c quenched QCD at strong coupling using string theory. The rate of the processes are calculated by studying the splitting of a macroscopic string on the…
We perform hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) simulatons of two flavors QCD with the optimal domain-wall fermion (ODWF) on the 16^3 x 32 lattice (with lattice spacing a ~ 0.1 fm), for eight sea-quark masses corresponding to pion masses in the range…
In this work we calculate the mass spectrum and decay constants of ground and excited states of heavy-light $P$-wave mesons such as $1^{++}$ and $1^{+-}$, with quark composition, $c\overline{u}, c\overline{s}, b\overline{u}, b\overline{s}$,…

Spectrum of masses of light pseudoscalar ($\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$) and vector ($\rho, K^*, \omega, \phi$) mesons can be explained on the base of the following assumptions: (1) analytical confinement (propagators of quarks and gluons are…
We construct an extended version of the linear sigma model in such a way as to describe spin-$1$ hadrons as well as spin-$0$ hadrons in two-color QCD (QC$_2$D) by respecting the Pauli-G\"{u}rsey $SU(4)$ symmetry. Within a mean-field…

We investigate the mass and decay constant of the heavy-heavy pseudoscalar, $B_c$, $\eta_c$ and $\eta_b$ mesons in the framework of finite temperature QCD sum rules. The annihilation and scattering parts of spectral density are calculated…
Using Wilson fermions, we study SU(2) lattice QCD with the chemical potential at $\beta=1.6$. The ratio of fermion determinants is evaluated at each Metropolis link update step. We calculate the baryon number density, the Polyakov loops and…
A high statistics calculation, performed at $\beta =5.74,\;6.00$ and $6.26$, enables us to study the variation of the leptonic decay constants $f_P$ of heavy pseudoscalar mesons with the lattice spacing $a$. We observe only a weak $a$…

The large mass limit of QCD uncovers symmetries that are not present in the QCD lagrangian. These symmetries have been applied to physical (finite mass) systems, such as B and D mesons. We explore the validity of this approximation in the…
