We prove that Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents yield very strong correlations between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson decay constant $f_B$, namely, $\delta f_B/f_B\approx -8\,\delta m_b/m_b$. This fact opens the…

We present a QCD sum rule calculation of the Isgur-Wise form-factor tau_1(v.v') and tau_2(v.v') for the semileptonic decays B->D_1(2420)l\bar\nu and B->D_2^*(2460)l\bar\nu in the framework of heavy quark effective theory. These two…
The QCD finite energy sum rules method is used to show that the parameter of the K^0-\bar{K}_0 mixing \hat{B} is mainly determined by the value of g m_s< \bar{d} G_{\mu\nu} \sigma_{\mu\nu} d > and the vacuum expectation values of four-quark…
