We have simulated QCD using 2+1 flavors of domain wall quarks on a $(2.74 {\rm fm})^3$ volume with an inverse lattice scale of $a^{-1} = 1.729(28)$ GeV. The up and down (light) quarks are degenerate in our calculations and we have used four…

In this paper we visited mass spectra and decay constants of pseudoscalar and vector heavy-light mesons ($B$, $B_s$, $D$ and $D_S$) in the framework of QCD sum rule and quark model. The harmonic oscillator wave function was used in quark…
We evaluate lower bounds on the sum of the up and down quark masses. The bounds follow from the constraints provided by the dispersion relation obeyed by the two--point function of the scalar current density when combined with properties of…

QCD Laplace sum-rules are briefly reviewed and two sum-rule applications are presented. For scalar gluonium, upper bounds on the lightest state are obtained from ratios of Laplace sum-rules, and the role of instantons and the low-energy…
We compute the strange and the average up/down quark masses in the quenched approximation of lattice QCD, by using the O(a)-improved Wilson action and operators and by implementing the non-perturbative renormalization. Our computation is…
The standard procedure to determine (analytically) the values of the quark masses is to relate QCD two-point functions to experimental data in the framework of QCD sum rules. In the case of the light quark sector, the ideal Green function…
We derive lower bounds for the combination of light quark masses m_s +m_u and m_d +m_u. The derivation is based on first principles: the analyticity properties of two-point functions of local current operators and the positivity of the…
We extract (for the first time) the correlated values of the running masses m_c and m_b from M_Bc using QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR) within stability criteria where pertubative (PT) expressions at N2LO and non-perturbative (NP) gluon…
We calculate the decay constants of light and heavy-light pseudoscalar and vector mesons with improved soft-wall holographic wavefuntions, which take into account the effects of both quark masses and dynamical spins. We find that the…
We re-examine the use of sum rules in the extraction of light quark masses and discuss a number of potential problems with existing analyses. The most important issue is that of the overall normalization of the hadronic spectral functions…
We present the results of a computation of the sum of the strange and average up-down quark masses with overlap fermions in the quenched approximation. Since the overlap regularization preserves chiral symmetry at finite cutoff and volume,…
