We explore the possibility for an evaluation of non-leptonic $\Delta S=1$ $K$ decay amplitudes through the calculation of $K\to\pi$ matrix elements using domain-wall QCD. The relation between the physical $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements and…

I review recent lattice computations of the matrix element relevant for K0-K0bar mixing and discuss the advantages of fermions with an exact chiral symmetry to compute K->pipi amplitudes.
Lattice matrix elements are briefly reviewed. In the quenched approximation $f_B$, $B_B$ and $B_K$ are now under good control. Experimental hints for $f^{\rm expt}_{D_S}> f^{\rm QQCD}_{D_S}$ are noted; precise determination of $f_{D_S}$…
It is shown that the low energy coefficients of the next-to-leading order (NLO) chiral perturbation theory needed to determine $\Delta I=1/2$, $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes can be fixed by calculating $K\pi\to\pi$ amplitudes on lattice.…
Hadronic tau decay data provides access to the light quark vector (V) and axial vector (A) spectral functions. This makes possible investigations of the dynamics of QCD at intermediate scales and improved determinations of certain…
The interactions of $\rho$, $K^*$, $\phi$ and $\omega$ vector-mesons with low-momentum $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ pseudoscalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a heavy vector-meson chiral Lagrangian in which the vector mesons…
We present a new method for determining K --> pi pi matrix elements from lattice simulations that is less costly than direct simulations of K --> pi pi at physical kinematics. It improves, however, upon the traditional "indirect'' approach…
Recent lattice QCD calculations of direct CP violation in $K_L \to \pi \pi$ decays indicate tension with the experimental results. Assuming this tension to be real, we investigate a possible beyond-the-Standard Model explanation via…
