In this talk, I review the determinations of the QCD condensates and $\alpha_s$ within the SVZ expansion using the ratio of Laplace sum rule (LSR) and $\tau$-like moments in $e^+e^-\to I=1$ Hadrons and in $\tau\to \nu_\tau+$Hadrons…
We study the exotic $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ four-quark states in Laplace sum rules (LSR) and finite energy sum rules (FESR). We use the vector tetraquark-like currents as interpolating currents in the correlator, from which the $1^{+-}$ states are…
Isospin symmetry breaking in the quark condensates, $< \bar dd> \not= < \bar uu>$, is a fundamental parameter in both the QCD sum rule studies and the chiral perturbation theory. In this article, we apply the QCD sum rule method to treat…
This talk reviews the recent progress in the extraction of bound-state characteristics from the operator-product expansion (OPE) for field-theory correlators, which constitutes the basis of the method of QCD sum rules. This progress is…
The exclusive semileptonic heavy baryon decay \Lambda_b\to p l\bar\nu is investigated using light-cone sum rule method in both full QCD and HQET. The form factors describing the decay are calculated and used to predict the decay width and…
Recent ALEPH/OPAL data on the V-A spectral functions from hadronic tau decays are used for fixing the QCD continuum threshold at which the first and second Weinberg sum rules should be satisfied in the chiral limit, and for predicting the…
We present a new QCD sum rule with high sensitivity to the continuum regions of charm and bottom quark pair production. Combining this sum rule with existing ones yields very stable results for the msbar quark masses, m_c(m_c)$ and m_b…
We introduce two approaches to analyses of Borel sum rules. In the first method, we take the Borel mass M2 to infinity. Here, the sum rules become very sensitive to the chosen threshold s0. We fix the threshold by setting the daughter sum…
A new QCD calculation of the mass of the nucleon is presented. It makes use of a polynomial kernel in the dispersion integrals tailored to practically eliminate the contribution of the unknown 1=2+ and 1=2- continuum. This approach avoids…
Model independent sum rules are applied to recent measurements of heavy c-baryon and d-baryon masses. The sum rules are generally satisfied to the same degree as for the light (u,d,s) baryons.
The scalar and vectorial self energies obtained through QCD sum rules are introduced in the Quantum Hadrodynamics (QHD) equations. This QHD and QCD mixing show us that the effect of the density on the coupling constants is very small.
We give an overview over recent calculations of baryonic correlator functions with finite mass quarks in view on their applicability for QCD sum rules. The QCD sum rule method is then demonstrated within the Heavy Quark Effective Theory.
The basis of renormalon calculus is briefly discussed. The method is applied to study QCD predictions for three sum rules of deep-inelastic scattering, namely for the Gross-Llewellyn Smith, Bjorken polarized and unpolarized sum rules. It is…
We review some recent applications of QCD sum rules to $B$-decays. These include the determination of the leptonic constant $f_B$ and of the semileptonic transition amplitudes of the $B$-meson into negative and positive parity charmed…
A sum rule is derived for elastic scattering of hadrons at high energies which is in good agreement with experimental data on $p\bar{p}$ available upto the maximum energy $\sqrt{s} = 2 TeV$. Physically, our sum rule reflects the way…
We present the estimates of the order $O(\alpha^{4}_{s})$ QCD corrections to $R(s)$, $R_{\tau}$ and to the deep-inelastic scattering sum rules, namely to the non-polarized and polarized Bjorken sum rules and to the Gross-Llewellyn Smith sum…
The pion-baryon sigma terms and the strange-quark condensates of the octet and the decuplet baryons are calculated by employing the method of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules. We evaluate the vacuum-to-vacuum transition matrix…
Despite the many empirical successes of QCD, there are a number of intriguing experimental anomalies that have been observed in heavy flavor hadroproduction, in measurements of azimuthal correlations in deep inelastic processes, and in…
The reasonableness of the use of perturbative QCD notions in the region close to the scale of hadronization, i.e., below $\lesssim 1 \GeV$ is under study. First, the interplay between higher orders of pQCD expansion and higher twist…
A classic sum rule by Das et al. is extended to seven of the low-energy constants $K_i$, introduced by Urech, which parameterize electromagnetic corrections at chiral order $O(e^2p^2)$. Using the spurion formalism, a simple convolution…
