The successive perturbative estimates of the pressure of QCD at high temperature T show no sign of convergence, unless the coupling constant g is unrealistically small. Exploiting known results of an effective field theory which separates…
QCD sum-rules are related to an integral of a hadronic spectral function, and hence must satisfy integral inequalities which follow from positivity of the spectral function. Development of these Holder inequalities and their application to…
We present a comprehensive QCD sum rules analysis at next-to-leading order for all types of $J^P=0^{+}$ four-quark states composed of $u$, $d$, and $s$ quarks. The eigenvectors of the renormalization matrix are chosen to be the renormalized…
We construct a random matrix model that, in the large $N$ limit, reduces to the low energy limit of the QCD partition function put forward by Leutwyler and Smilga. This equivalence holds for an arbitrary number of flavors and any value of…
With the use of the world-line formalism, the heavy-quark condensate in the SU(N)-QCD is evaluated for the cases when the next-to-1/r term in the quark-antiquark potential at short distances is either quadratic, or linear. In the former…
With QCD sum rule evaluations, spectral changes of hadrons inside nuclear matter are considered, which shed light on QCD condensates and thus on the non-perturbative structure of the QCD ground state. For some light quark configurations,…
We present virtual contributions up to two loop level in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) to the decay of pseudo-scalar Higgs boson ($A$) to three gluons ($g$) and also to quark ($q$), anti-quark ($\overline q$) and a gluon. With…
We use rational approximants to study missing higher orders in the massless scalar-current quark correlator. We predict the yet unknown six-loop coefficient of its imaginary part, related to $\Gamma(H\to b \bar b)$, to be $c_5=-6900\pm…
Compact string expressions are found for non-intersecting Wilson loops in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on any surface (orientable or nonorientable) as a weighted sum over covers of the surface. All terms from the coupled chiral sectors of the…
Higher-loop corrections to the pseudoscalar ($0^{-+}$) gluonium correlation function will be used to obtain the leading gluon condensate contributions to the subtraction-independent QCD sum-rules. The effect of these higher-loop corrections…
We discuss Pad\'e-improvement of known four-loop order results based upon an asymptotic three-parameter error formula for Pad\'e-approximants. We derive an explicit formula estimating the next-order coefficient $R_4$ from the previous…
In QCD sum-rule methods, the fundamental field-theoretical quantities are correlation functions of composite operators that serve as hadronic interpolating fields. One of the challenges of loop corrections to QCD correlation functions in…
We emphasize the role of the x dependence of the quark condensate <|\bar q(0)q(x)|> originated by the zero fermion modes in the instanton vacuum. The effect is not negligible since the inverse size of the instanton 1/\rho~600MeV is…
The forms of the neutral, non-strange pseudoscalar propagator matrix and mixed axial current correlator, $\lngle0|T(A_\mu^3 A_\nu^8)|0\rangle$, are discussed at next-to-leading (one-loop) order in chiral perturbation theory, and the results…
QCD sum rules are based on the Operator Product Expansion of current correlators, and on QCD-hadron duality. An extension of this program to finite temperature is discussed. This allows for a study of deconfinement and chiral-symmetry…
We analyze new QCD sum rules for the pion wave function $\phi_{\pi}(x)$, obtained recently by A.V. Radyushkin in the framework of the non-local vacuum condensates method for non-diagonal correlators, and suggest a new approach for…
We compare two widely used approaches to the description of hadron properties: QCD sum rules and constituent quark models. Making use of the dispersion formulation of the quark model, we show that both approaches lead to similar spectral…
We compute the next to leading QCD corrections to weak four fermion interactions introducing a scheme that does not require an explicit definition of $\gamma_5$ in $d$ dimensions. This scheme reduces greatly the difficulties in calculating…
We compare two approaches to the description of pion Compton scattering at moderate momentum transfer, one being based on local duality QCD sum rules for the invariant amplitudes of the process, which have been derived recently, and the…
We present the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N^3LO) contributions to the non-singlet splitting functions for both parton distribution and fragmentation functions in perturbative QCD. The exact expressions are derived for the terms…
