In this talk we discuss finite-volume computations of two-body hadronic decays below the inelastic threshold (e.g. $K\to\pi\pi$ decays). In particular we show how the relation between finite-volume matrix elements and physical amplitudes,…
Recently, formalism has been derived for studying electroweak transition amplitudes for three-body systems both in infinite and finite volumes. The formalism provides exact relations that the infinite-volume amplitudes must satisfy, as well…
We determine the finite-volume corrections to the spectrum and matrix elements of two-hadron states in a moving frame, i.e. one in which the total momentum of the two-hadrons is non-zero. The analysis is performed entirely within field…

Hadronic matrix elements that depend on momentum are required for numerous phenomenological applications. Probing the low-momentum regime is often problematic for lattice QCD computations on account of the restriction to periodic momentum…
The long-range electromagnetic interaction presents a challenge for numerical computations in QCD + QED. In addition to power-law finite volume effects, the standard lattice gauge theory approach introduces non-locality through removal of…
Now that Lattice QCD calculations are beginning to include QED, it is important to better understand how hadronic properties are modified by finite-volume QED effects. They are known to exhibit power-law scaling with volume, in contrast to…
