We derive new sum rules for the form factors of the $B_c\to J/\psi\, \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ semileptonic transitions, employing the vacuum-to-$B_c$ correlation function of the $J/\psi$-interpolating and $b\to c$ weak currents. In the heavy…
Properly separating and subtracting renormalons in the framework of the operator product expansion (OPE) is a way to realize high precision computation of QCD effects in high energy physics. We propose a new method (FTRS method), which…
We perform a stability analysis of a recently proposed sum rule for pion Compton scattering at fixed angle and moderate Mandelstam invariants. The sum rule is found to be sensitive to the parameter $\lambda^2$, the contour radius of a…
The tau hadronic width provides a determination of the strong coupling constant alpha_s at low energies, since it can be related to a weighted integral of the Adler function in the complex energy plane. Using Operator Product Expansion, one…

We study pentaquark $\Theta^{+} (I=0,J=1/2)$ in the QCD sum rules emphasizing that we can not extract any properties of the pentaquark outside of the Borel window. To find the appropriate Borel window, we prepare a favorable set up of the…
We calculate non-singlet quark operator matrix elements of deep-inelastic scattering in the chiral limit including operators with total derivatives. This extends previous calculations with zero-momentum transfer through the operator vertex…
We present a QCD analysis of heavy quark mesons focussing on the B -> D* formfactor at zero recoil, F_D*(1). An advanced treatment of the perturbative corrections in the Wilsonian approach is presented. We estimate the higher-order power…
The Operator Product Expansion provides expressions for the $n^{th}$ moments of $g_1(x)$ and $g_2(x)$ in terms of hadronic matrix elements of local operators for $n =$ odd integer. In some cases these matrix elements are expected to be…
We show that the Borel representations of tau hadronic spectral function moments based on contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT) in general differ from those obtained within fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT) in the presence of IR…
ALEPH/OPAL data on the V-A spectral functions from hadronic tau decays are used in connection with a set of Laplace transform sum rules (LSR) for fixing the size of the QCD vacuum condensates up to dimension 18. Our results favour the ones…
The $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rules provide relations between the decay rates of $B \to D^{(*)} \tau\bar\nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau\bar\nu$. Starting from the heavy quark and zero-recoil limits, we revisit the derivation of the…
A set of well known chiral sum rules, expected to be valid in QCD, is confronted with experimental data on the vector and axial-vector hadronic spectral functions, obtained from tau-lepton decay by the ALEPH collaboration. The…
We present new compact integrated expressions of SU3 breaking corrections to QCD spectral functions of heavy-light molecules and four-quark XYZ-like states at lowest order (LO) of perturbative (PT) QCD and up to d=8 condensates of the OPE.…
A recently developed linear algebraic method for the computation of perturbation expansion coefficients to large order is applied to the problem of a hydrogenic atom in a magnetic field. We take as the zeroth order approximation the $D…
We compute, to the first non-trivial order in the $\epsilon$-expansion of a perturbed scalar field theory, the anomalous dimensions of an infinite class of primary operators with arbitrary spin $\ell=0,1,..$, including as a particular case…
We show that renormalization group improvement, making use of analyticity and the structure of the operator product expansion, combined with a non-perturbative expansion method allows one to describe quarkonium states via QCD sum rules…
We consider the further development of the formalism of the estimates of higher-order perturbative corrections in the Euclidean region, which is based on the application of the scheme-invariant methods, namely the principle of minimal…
While the idea of using the operator product expansion (OPE) to extract the strong coupling from hadronic $\tau$ decay data is not new, there is an ongoing controversy over how to include quark-hadron "duality violations" (i.e., resonance…
QCD sum rules for positive and negative parity heavy baryons in the heavy quark limit are formulated. We apply the method to $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ channels. We include the next-to-leading order corrections in $\alpha_s$-expansion to…
