Lattice QCD with staggered fermions at strong coupling has long been studied in a dual representation to circumvent the finite baryon density sign problem. Monte Carlo simulations at finite temperature and density require anisotropic…

We revisit the calculation of the strong couplings $D^*D\pi$ and $B^*B\pi$ from the QCD light-cone sum rules using the pion light-cone distribution amplitudes. The accuracy of the correlation function, calculated from the operator product…

We show that the $\pi NN$ coupling constant extracted model-independently from $\bar pp$ charge exchange is subject to a systematic correction, and, more importantly, that the strong absorption in the critical region prevents a…

For the heavy baryons $\Xi_c$ and $\Xi_b$ the coupling constants $g_{\Xi_c\Xi_c\pi}$ and $g_{\Xi_b\Xi_b\pi}$ are calculated in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules. The most general form of the interpolating field of $\Xi_Q$ is used in…

Effects of non-resonant photoproductions arising from two different $\pi NN$ couplings are investigated in the $\gamma N\to\pi\pi N$ reaction. We find that the pseudoscalar (PS) $\pi NN$ coupling is generally preferable to the pseudovector…

A theory is presented which allows us to accurately calculate the density profile of monovalent and multivalent counterions in suspensions of polarizable colloids or nano-particles. In the case of monovalent ions, we derive a weak-coupling…

To leading order in alpha_s, the leading and non-leading 1/m_b corrections to the excited g_B^(**) meson coupling g_B^(**)BPi is calculated in the framework of QCD spectral moment sum rules in the full theory. Our prediction is in good…

We use analytic continuation to extend the gauge/gravity duality nonperturbative description of the strong force coupling into the transition, near-perturbative, regime where perturbative effects become important. By excluding the…

The strong coupling constant g$_{h_{b}B_{c}^{PS}B_{c}^{V}}$ is calculated using the three-point QCD sum rules method. We use correlation functions to obtain these strong coupling constants with contributions of both B$_{c}^{PS} $ and…

We report on a calculation of the B*Bpi coupling in lattice QCD. The strong matrix element for a B* to Bpi transition is directly related to the leading order low-energy constant in heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT) for B…

In this short note we show that (I) in a QCD-like theory with four (rather than two) degenerate flavors $ud u'd'$, the $\pi\pi'$ scattering length is positive (attractive); and (II) in QCD with only two (u,d) degenerate flavors the I=2…

We have recently developed a self-consistent theory of Strong-Coupling in the presence of an incoherent pumping [arXiv:0807.3194] and shown how it could reproduce quantitatively the experimental data [PRL 101, 083601 (2008)]. Here, we…

The strong coupling physics of two dimensional gravity at C=7, 13, 19 is deciphered, by building up on previous works along the same line (for a recent review, of the background material, see hep-th/9408069). It is shown that chirality…

We improve so called ``naive'' and ``mirror'' models for the positive and negative parity nucleons, $N$ and $N^{*}$, by introducing nonlinear terms allowed by chiral symmetry. Both models in this improvement reproduce the observed nucleon…

We present a strong coupling constant extraction at Next-to-Leading Order QCD accuracy using ATLAS Z+2,3,4 jets data. This is the first extraction using processes with a dependency to high powers of the coupling constant. We obtain values…

We discuss aspects of a covariant QCD modeling of meson physics by illustrating applications to several coupling constants and form factors. In particular, we cover the $\rho\pi\pi$ and $\pi^0 \gamma \gamma$ interactions, the $\rho$…
