Several topics in QCD are reviewed, including: the light-cone Fock state representation, which encodes the flavor, spin and other quark and gluon correlations of hadrons in the form of universal process-independent amplitudes; the…
I review recent developments in lattice QCD. I first give an overview of its formalism, and then discuss lattice discretizations of fermions. We then turn to a description of the quenched approximation and why it is disappearing as a…
Quark and lepton flavor physics presents us with a basic question: Can we understand the pattern of masses and mixings of the known quarks and leptons, and how do present and proposed measurements help to advance that goal? Topics discussed…
In this talk I want to convey an idea about the perspectives for precise lattice QCD computations. Some emphasis is put on the field of flavour physics, where lattice QCD seems to be needed the most in the quantitative interpretation of…
New properties of the quark correlator are found via equations of motion. As a first result, approximate relations can be established among the "soft" functions; one such relation may help in determining the quark transversity in a nucleon.…
We briefly review common features and overlapping issues in hadron and flavor physics focussing on continuum QCD approaches to heavy bound states, their mass spectrum and weak decay constants in different strong interaction models.
I review the status of the modern theoretical approach to weak decays of heavy flavor hadrons based on the 1/m_Q expansion in QCD. The qualitative features are explained and the subtleties in simultaneously incorporating perturbative and…
I describe a recent calculation (by me, Hoffmann, Liu, and Schaefer) of the chiral condensate in one-flavor QCD using numerical simulations with overlap fermions. The condensate is extracted by fitting the distribution of low lying…
We study the flavour singlet mesons from first principles using lattice QCD. We explore the splitting between flavour singlet and non-singlet for vector and axial mesons as well as the more commonly studied cases of the scalar and…

We prove some basic properties of quasinearly subharmonic functions and quasinearly subharmonic functions in the narrow sense.
This work provides an overview of recent results obtained in the framework of QCD with analytic coupling. Applications to the polarized Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith sum rules are considered.
We present flavour-symmetric results for the couplings of quark-antiquark systems to meson-meson channels in the harmonic-oscillator expansion. We tabulate their values for all possible open and closed decay channels of pseudo-scalar,…
I give a brief introduction to lattice QCD for non-specialists.
We measure correlations appropriate for favour-singlet mesons using dynamical quark configurations from UKQCD. Improved methods of evaluating the disconnected quark diagrams are presented. The scalar and pseudoscalar meson channels are…
We review some recent results on properties of tensor product and fusion coefficients under complex conjugation of one of the factors. Some of these results have been proven, some others are conjectures awaiting a proof, one of them…
We study hidden-flavor pentaquarks, $Q\bar Q qqq$, based on a constituent quark-model with a standard quark-quark interaction that reproduces the low-energy meson and baryon spectra. We make use of dynamical correlations between the heavy…
This talk is based on results obtained for masses and wave functions of heavy quarkonia in a light-front Hamiltonian formulation of QCD with just one flavor of quarks using an ansatz for the mass-gap for gluons. Since the calculated spectra…
When the flavour content of QCD is increased sufficiently, the theory develops a non-trivial infra red fixed point. Thus, for a number of flavours above a certain critical value, but not yet so high that asymptotic freedom is lost, QCD…
We compute the topological susceptibility in QCD with two flavors of dynamical fermions using numerical simulation with overlap fermions.
