In these lectures, I present several important applications of QCD sum rules to the decay processes involving heavy-flavour hadrons. The first lecture is introductory. As a study case, the sum rules for decay constants of the heavy-light…
If connecting properties of a multiquark hadron with those exhibited by its constituents, QCD sum rules inferred along the routes of traditional wisdom necessarily involve contributions not related at all to and thus not presenting…
In the QCD sum rules for the tetraquark (molecular) states, the higher dimensional vacuum condensates play an important role in extracting the tetraquark masses. We carry out the operator product expansion up to the vacuum condensates of…
The ideas of "local" and "global" colour-singletness are not well understood within QCD. We use a group theoretical technique to project out the partition function for a system of quarks, antiquarks and gluons to a particular representation…
Thermal Hilbert moment QCD sum rules are used to obtain the temperature dependence of the hadronic parameters of charmonium in the vector channel, i.e. the $J$ / $\psi$ resonance mass, coupling (leptonic decay constant), total width, and…
The intrinsic fluctuations, memory effects and long-range color interactions in high energy nuclear collisions imply the presence of non-Markovian processes in the fireball evolution, which affects the thermalization process towards…

We use QCD Laplace sum-rules to study meson-hybrid mixing in vector ($1^{--}$) heavy quarkonium. We compute the QCD cross-correlator between a heavy meson current and a heavy hybrid current within the operator product expansion. In addition…
The mean-field level calculation shows that the QCD matter can have multiple critical points incorporating the color superconductivity under charge neutrality constraint due to the repulsive vector interaction; this actually implies that…
At sufficiently high baryon density, a quark matter is expected to become a color superconductor because of the pairing forces mediated by gluons. The theoretical aspect of this novel phase of the strong interaction is reviewed with the…
The vector mesons in three-flavor quark matter with chiral and diquark condensates are studied using the in-medium QCD sum rules. The diquark condensate leads to a mass splitting between the flavor-octet and flavor-singlet channels. At high…
We analytically calculate properties of a strongly coupled striped superconductor, with the charge density wave sourced by a modulated chemical potential, in the large modulation wavenumber Q limit. In the absence of a homogeneous term in…
The hadronic screening mass at high temperature ($T$) in QCD$_4$ is examined on the basis of the QCD sum rules in (2+1) dimensions. Due to the magnetic gluon condensate at high $T$ which is expected to be nonvanishing, the screening mass…
Frequently, theoretical discussions of multiquark hadron states prove to be contaminated or even dominated by contributions of conventional hadrons. For the approach to QCD bound states in terms of QCD sum rules, we show how to get rid of…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with a general number of colors, $\Nc$, provides a powerful theoretical laboratory to explore the dynamics of non-Abelian gauge theories. Although $\Nc =3$ does not look a large number, the $1/\Nc$ expansion…

We use QCD sum rules to study the possible existence of a \Theta c(3250) charmed pentaquark. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension-10 and work at leading order in \alpha_s. We obtain m(\Theta c) = (3.21 +/- 0.13) GeV,…
