We calculate the leading-twist O(alphas^2 beta0) corrections to the B to pi transition form factor f+(0) in light-cone sum rules. We find that, as expected, there is a cancellation between the O(alphas^2 beta0) corrections to fB f+(0) and…

Employing the standard hard-scattering approach (HSA) in conjunction with the running-coupling (RC) method, the latter joined with the infrared-renormalon calculus, we compute power-suppressed corrections $\sim 1/Q^{2n}, n=1, 2,...$ to the…
In this work quantum electrodynamics at T > 0 is considered. For this purpose we use thermo field dynamics and the causal approach to quantum field theory according to Epstein and Glaser, the latter being a rigorous method to avoid the…
We consider the electric dipole form factor, F_3(q^2), as well as the Dirac and Pauli form factors, F_1(q^2) and F_2(q^2), of the nucleon in the light-front formalism. We derive an exact formula for F_3(q^2) to complement those known for…
An improved efficient method of calculating the hard bremsstrahlung correction to e^+ e^- -> 4f for non-zero fermion masses is presented. The non-vanishing fermion masses allow us to perform the phase space integrations to the very…
We report the results of the computation of the order $(k_{\rm F}a_0)^2$ correction, where $k_{\rm F}=3\pi^2\rho$ is the Fermi wave vector and $a_0$ the $s$-wave scattering length of the repulsive interaction, to the ground-state energy of…
Practical calculations in light-front dynamics are, as a general rule, complicated, since there is no consensus about how to treat the poles which come from the instantaneous parts of Feynman's propagators of the fields. An alternative to…
