The four-quark condensates appearing in QCD sum rule are calculated nonperturbatively in a realistic QCD motivated extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The calculation is in the framework of the effective potential for local composite…
In this article, we recalculate the contributions of all vacuum condensates up to dimension-6, in particular the one-loop corrections to the quark condensates $\alpha_s<\bar{q}q>$ and partial one-loop corrections to the four-quark…
I discuss the standard SVZ-expansion of the QCD two-point correlators in terms of the QCD vacuum condensates and beyond it due to a new unflavoured 1/Q^2-term (tachyonic gluon mass squared \lambda^2) which modelizes the effects of…
Using recent values of \alpha_s, the gluon condensates <\alpha_s G^2> and <g^3 f_abcG^3> and the new data on the \psi/\Upsilon-families, we update our determinations of the MS-bar running quark masses m_c,b(m_c,b) from the SVZ-Moments…

We review our results in Refs.[1,2] for the masses and couplings of heavy-light DD(BB)-like molecules and (Qq)(Qq)-like four-quark states from relativistic QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR) where next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO) PT…
The $\tau$ decay rate into hadrons of invariant mass smaller than $\sqrt{s_0}\gg\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ can be calculated in QCD assuming global quark--hadron duality. It is shown that this assumption holds for $s_0>0.7$~GeV$^2$. From…
Anticipating future precise measurements of the D- and B-like (semi-)leptonic and hadronic decays for alternative determinations of the CKM mixing angles, we pursue our program on the D- and B-like mesons by improving the estimates of…
We discuss the extraction of alpha_s using isovector hadronic tau decay data and sum rules constructed specifically to suppress contributions associated with poorly known higher dimension condensates. We show, first, that problems with the…

We present a Lattice QCD determination of the chiral quark condensate based on a new method. We extract the quark condensate from the operator product expansion of the quark propagator at short euclidean distances, where it represents the…
We determine the chiral condensate from simulations of quenched lattice QCD with Wilson fermions. Our measurements have been obtained with high statistics at three values of the gauge coupling, corresponding to UV cutoffs in the range 2 - 4…
We present a new framework for the extraction of the strong coupling from hadronic \tau decays through finite-energy sum rules. Our focus is on the small, but still significant non-perturbative effects that, in principle, affect both the…
The current phenomenological determinations of $\alpha_s(M_\tau)$ and $\alpha_s(M_Z)$ are shown to be only marginally consistent with the QCD evolution of the strong coupling constant between $M_Z$ and $M_\tau$. This motivates a revised…
