The domain wall fermion formulation exhibits full chiral symmetry for finite lattice spacing except for the effects of mixing between the domain walls. Close to the continuum limit these symmetry breaking effects should be described by a…
Values for the strange quark mass and average up/down mass have been obtained from quenched lattice QCD simulations using the domain wall fermion action. This discretization preserves the properties of flavor and chiral symmetry at nonzero…

Assuming that the number densities of heavy flavor in hadron gas and in QGP are same at $T_c$, we obtain the effective mass of heavy quark at $T_c$ from the comparison with the hadron resonance gas model which well describes particle yield…
The status of the heavy quark expansion for inclusive B decays is briefly reviewed from the perspective of confronting theory with data and of extracting the heavy quark parameters. A good agreement between properly applied theory and new…

We update our determinations of $f_{D^+}$, $f_{D_s}$, $f_K$, and quark mass ratios from simulations with four flavors of HISQ dynamical quarks. The availability of ensembles with light quarks near their physical mass means that we can…
There now exist several theoretical technologies for treating weak decays of heavy flavour hadrons that are genuinely based on QCD without having to invoke a deus ex machina. I focus on one of those, which employs an expansion in inverse…
We discuss the form factors of the heavy-to-light transitions $B \ra \pi$ and $D\ra \pi$, the $B^*B \pi$ and $D^*D \pi$ coupling constants, and the nonfactorizable amplitude of the decay $ B \ra J/\psi K$ in the framework of QCD sum rules.
