Meson masses and decay constants in the large $N$ limit of SU($N$) gauge theory are determined using the twisted Eguchi-Kawai reduced model. To this end, we make use of a recently defined smearing method valid on the one-point lattice. This…

We develop a recipe which allows one to recursively and uniquely decouple the large scale from the small scale in mass matrices of the seesaw type, up to any order in the inverse of the large scale. Our method allows one to calculate the…
Using supersymmetric grand unified theories, we have recently invented a framework which allows the prediction of three quark masses, two of the parameters of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and tan $\beta$, the ratio of the two vevs. These…
We discuss the computation of the kaon and D meson masses in the N_f = 2+1+1 twisted mass lattice QCD setup, where explicit heavy flavor and parity breaking occurs at finite lattice spacing. We present three methods suitable in this context…
In a wide class of unified models there is an additional (and possibly dominant) term in the neutrino mass formula that under the simplest assumption takes the form M_{\nu} = (M_N + M_N^T)u/M_G, where M_N is the neutrino Dirac mass matrix,…
A method used previously to calculate the masses of the vector mesons is extended to the calculation of the nucleon resonances. The method is based on the choice of integration kernels which eliminate the unknown parts of the spectrum. We…
I study the large-N reduction a la Eguchi--Kawai in the Kazakov--Migdal lattice gauge model. I show that both quenching and twisting prescriptions lead to the coordinate-independent master field. I discuss properties of loop averages in…
Treating the Koide equation and another efficient charged-lepton mass formula (having the form of a mass sum rule) as a system of two mathematically independent algebraic equations for three charged-lepton masses, we predict the tauon mass…
We recently presented a method of analyzing invariant-mass spectra of kaon pairs resulting from decay of $\phi$ mesons produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. It can be used to extract the shifts in the mass and the width ($\Delta M$…
The large-$N_c$ masses of light vector, axial, scalar and pseudoscalar mesons are calculated from QCD spectral sum rules for a particular ansatz interpolating the radial Regge trajectories. The ansatz includes a linear part plus…
Neutrino masses and mixings are investigated on the basis of a universal seesaw mass matrix model, in which quark (except for top) and charged lepton mass matrices M_f and neutrino mass matrix M_\nu are given by M_f \simeq m_L M_F^{-1} m_R…

Based on quantum hadrodynamics with a finite cutoff, the effective masses of vector mesons(\omega, \rho) in nuclear medium are calculated. We use a low-energy effective Lagrangian which is obtained by integrating high-energy quantum…
We compute the spectrum of light mesons, composed by up, down, and strange quarks, using a symmetry-preserving approximation that permits the inclusion of fully-dressed quark-gluon vertices in the key dynamical equations. This method is…
The large N reduction is an equivalence between large N gauge theories and matrix models discovered by Eguchi and Kawai in the early 80s. In particular the continuum version of the quenched Eguchi-Kawai model may be useful in studying…
The simplest possibility to generate small Majorana neutrino masses is the seesaw mechanism. However, the smallness of the observed neutrino masses can also be understood, if neutrino masses are generated by higher-dimensional operators…
