In 1994 Zakharov and the present authors argued that in color dipole (CD) BFKL approach to DIS excitation of open charm at moderately large Q2 is dominated by hard BFKL exchange. In view of the rapid accumulation of the experimental data on…
We examine the scaling of geodesic correlation functions in two-dimensional gravity and in spin systems coupled to gravity. The numerical data support the scaling hypothesis and indicate that the quantum geometry develops a non-perturbative…

We report on a first study towards the use of stabilised Wilson fermions in heavy flavour physics. In particular, we are interested in fixing the charm quark mass via various physical observables and to inspect cut-off effects arising from…
At low $x$ a transition from a dilute parton gas to a dense parton liquid takes place. We derive geometrical scaling for the structure function in deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ from a diverging correlation length $\xi(x)$ of Wilson…
We study magnetic geometries with Lifshitz and/or hyperscaling violation exponents (both with a hard wall cutoff in the IR and a smooth black brane horizon) which have a complex scalar field which couples to the magnetic field. The complex…

We present RBC/UKQCD's charm project using $N_f=2+1$ flavour ensembles with inverse lattice spacings in the range $1.73-2.77\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and two physical pion mass ensembles. Domain wall fermions are used for the light as well as the…
We review two lattice calculations involving charm hadrons: a determination of the vector and scalar form factors of the semileptonic $D \to \pi \ell \nu$ decays, which are relevant for the extraction of the CKM matrix element $\lvert…
If the X(3872) is a loosely-bound molecule of the charm mesons D^0 \bar D^{*0} and D^{*0} \bar D^0, it can decay through the decay of a constituent in a hadronic channel with a nearby threshold, such as J/\psi \omega or J/\psi \rho. The…
On the basis of some peculiar scaling properties of the OPE coefficient functions, we give the lower bounds for F_2^{c\bar{c}} and F_2^{b\bar{b}} independently of the properties of the gluon density function. Predictions for F_2^{b\bar{b}}…
We compute the QCD form factor resumming threshold logarithms in B --> X_c + l + nu_l decays to next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. We present an interpolation formula including soft as well as collinear effects softened by the…
We improve upon previous explicit estimates of charm rescattering contributions to the decay $B^0\to K^0\bar{\ell}\ell$ by including contributions from dipole interactions with the intermediate charm-meson states, and by further…
The decays B -> D^{**} pi, where D^{**} is a narrow p-wave charm resonance, are investigated in the context of a generalized factorization hypothesis, including the leading nonfactorizable corrections. The decay rates for these processes…
The potentiality of interpreting the D-meson decay-dynamics has revealed itself to be strongly dependent on our understanding of the light-meson sector. The statistics collected by FOCUS is already at a level that manifests parametrization…

An approach is proposed for recovering affine correspondences (ACs) from orientation- and scale-invariant, e.g. SIFT, features. The method calculates the affine parameters consistent with a pre-estimated epipolar geometry from the point…
