We discuss the details of calculating hadron properties from the OPE for correlators of quark currents in QCD, which constitutes the basis of the method of QCD sum rules. The main emphasis is laid on gaining control over the systematic…
There exists a significant deviation between the most recent Lattice QCD simulation and experimental measurement by Belle for $\Xi_{c}^{0}\to\Xi^{-}\ell^{+}\nu_{\ell}$. In this work, we investigate the $\Xi_{c}\to\Xi$ form factors in QCD…
We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the perturbative term in the operator product expansion of the spectral functions of light tetraquark currents. By using also configuration space methods we keep the momentum space…
Spectral densities connect correlation functions computed in quantum field theory to observables measured in experiments. For strongly-interacting theories, their non-perturbative determinations from lattice simulations are therefore of…
We improve the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) action by comparing the dispersion relation to that of the continuum through $\mathcal{O}(p^6)$ in perturbation theory. The one-loop matching coefficients of the $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$ kinetic…
This talk presents the results of our study of systematic errors of the ground-state parameters obtained by Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (SVZ) sum rules. We use the harmonic-oscillator potential model as an example: in this case we know the…
We use lattice QCD simulations, with MILC configurations (including vacuum polarization from u, d, and s quarks), to update our previous determinations of the QCD coupling constant. Our new analysis uses results from 6 different lattice…
We study the uncertainties of the determination of the ground-state parameters from Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (SVZ) sum rules, making use of the harmonic-oscillator potential model as an example. In this case, one knows the exact solution…

We analyze the pole expansion of the two-hadron imaginary-time correlation function. We first explain the general idea that the imaginary-time correlation function is expressed as a sum of the pole terms, the Mittag-Leffler expansion, in…
The bilocal expansion of Borel transform provides an efficient way of Borel resummation with low order perturbations in QCD. Its applications to the heavy quark pole mass, static potential, and lattice calculation are reviewed.
We address some criticisms by Eletsky and Ioffe on the extension of QCD sum rules to finite temperature. We argue that this extension is possible, provided the Operator Product Expansion and QCD-hadron duality remain valid at non-zero…
We report on an exact calculation of lattice correlation functions on a finite four-dimensional lattice with either Euclidean or Minkowskian signature. The lattice correlation functions are calculated by the method of differential…
