We review the recent status of the QCD sum rule approach to study the properties of hadrons in vacuum and in hot or dense matter. Special focus is laid on the progress made in the evaluation of the QCD condensates, which are the input of…
The pion-baryon sigma terms and the strange-quark condensates of the octet and the decuplet baryons are calculated by employing the method of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules. We evaluate the vacuum-to-vacuum transition matrix…
We present a global analysis of the observed Z_c, Z_cs and future Z_css-like spectra using the inverse Laplace transform (LSR) version of QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) within stability criteria. Integrated compact QCD expressions of the LO…
It is shown how a chiral Lagrangian framework can be used to derive relationships connecting quark-level QCD correlation functions to mesonic-level two-point functions. Crucial ingredients of this connection are scale factor matrices…
QCD Laplace sum-rules are used to examine the constituent mass spectrum of $J^P\in\{0^+,1^+\}$ heavy-light [Qq] diquarks with $Q\in\{c,b\}$ and $q\in\{u,d,s\}$. As in previous sum-rule studies, the negative parity $J^P\in\{0^-, 1^-\}$ [Qq]…
QCD sum rules are analytic predictions of hadron observables from quantum chromodynamics. In the so-called local-duality limit of their Borel-transformed form, all nonperturbative contributions are encompassed by just a single quantity, an…

QCD sum rules are useful tools for studying the spectral properties of hadrons; however, assumptions underlying standard sum-rule analyses can lead to inconsistencies with known results of chiral perturbation theory. This possibility is…

QCD sum rules are used to compute the first few moments of the mesonic quark momentum. Transverse, longitudinal and mixed transverse-longitudinal components are examined. The transverse size of the pion is shown to be dictated by the gluon…

QCD Laplace sum-rules must satisfy a fundamental (Holder) inequality if they are to consistently represent an integrated hadronic cross-section. After subtraction of the pion-pole, the Laplace sum-rule of pion currents is shown to violate…
