Recent developments in the uses of QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) for heavy flavours are summarized and updated. QSSR results are compared with the existing data and with the ones from alternative approaches.
We show that at certain values of QCD condensates the nucleon QCD sum rules with "pole+continuum" model for the hadron spectrum obtain an unphysical solution. This provides constrains for the values of condensates to be consistent with…

In this article, we take the tensor currents $\bar{Q}(x)\sigma_{\mu\nu}Q(x)$ to interpolate the $P$-wave spin-singlet heavy quarkonium states $h_Q$, and study the masses and decay constants with the Borel sum rules and moments sum rules.…
We present an overview of a novel approach to the QCD Light-Cone Sum Rule method, employing $B$-meson Light-Cone Distribution Amplitudes. This method circumvents the semi-global quark-hadron duality (QHD) approximation, which can introduce…
We suggest a new method to analyse the rare $D_{(s)}\to P \ell^+\ell^-$ decays ($P=\pi,K$), combining QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with hadronic dispersion relations. As our main study case, we consider the $D^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ mode…
Light-cone QCD sum rules are employed to compute the strong coupling constants: g_{B^* B^* pi}, g_{B_1 B_0 pi} and g_{B_1 B^* pi}, where (B,B^*) and (B_0,B_1) are negative and positive parity (0^-,1^-) and (0^+,1^+) \bar qQ doublets. The…
We rewiew and scrutinize the existing mass determinations of the pentaquarks from the exponential Laplace Sum Rules (LSR). We do not find any sum rule window for extracting optimal and reliable results from the LSR, due to the unusual slow…
Regularities in the hadron interaction energies are used to obtain formulas relating the masses of ground-state hadrons, most of which contain heavy quarks. Inputs are the constituent quark model, the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, and the…
We summarize the recent developments on the extraction of the dynamical properties of the heavy quarks from QCD spectral sum rules.
D mesons serve as excellent probes of hot and/or dense strongly interacting matter. They can provide insight into the restoration of chiral symmetry. The chiral condensate as well as other chirally odd condensates, such as certain…
We investigate the properties of heavy quarkonia at finite temperature in detail using QCD sum rules. Extending previous analyses, we take into account a temperature dependent effective continuum threshold and derive constraints on the…
A short introduction is given to the method of light-cone sum rules, their theoretical background and main modifications. The discussion is concentrated but not restricted to the applications to heavy quark decays.
There is a need to go beyond the narrow resonance approximation for QCD sum-rule channels which are likely to exhibit sensitivity to broad resonance structures. We first discuss how the first two Laplace sum rules are altered when one goes…
The QCD up- and down-quark masses are determined from an optimized QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) involving the correlator of axial-vector current divergences. In the QCD sector this correlator is known to five loop order in perturbative…

Studies of quarkonium spectral functions at finite temperature, based on an approach combining QCD sum rules and the maximum entropy method are briefly reviewed. QCD sum rules for heavy quarkonia incorporate finite temperature effects in…
We have studied the applications of the anomaly sum rule to the transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons: $\pi^0$, $\eta$ and $\eta'$. This nonperturbative QCD approach can be used even if the QCD factorization is broken. The…
We discuss the QCD sum rule calculation of the heavy-quark effective theory parameters, $\lambda_E$ and $\lambda_H$, which correspond to matrix elements representing quark-gluon three-body components in the $B$-meson wavefunction. We derive…
