We review the results of lattice QCD calculations of form factors for semileptonic decays of D and B mesons. We also mention results for semileptonic decays of b baryons and the rare radiative decay B to K* gamma.
In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Kl\nu$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$…
In this paper we further elaborate on our recently proposed solution to the cosmological constant problem - Phys. Rev. D82 (2010) 044006. One of the elements of the solution is the chameleonic behaviour of the Einstein frame dilaton: the…
Mass as broken conformal symmetry: the graviton makes better sense as a Goldstone boson associated to the dilaton, than vice versa. The discussion of the Yamabe problem for the interior Schwarzschild solution [\S 4.2.4] has been sharpened…
Results of the Spectral Quark Model for the gravitational, electromagnetic, and transition form factors of the pion are discussed. In this model both the parton distribution amplitude and the parton distribution function are flat, in…
We show that QED in the Coulomb gauge can be considered as a low energy linear approximation of a non-linear $\sigma $-type model where the photon emerges as a vector Goldstone boson related to the spontaneous breakdown of Lorentz symmetry…

We investigate the role of the QCD scale anomaly in the gravitational form factors of the nucleon -- particularly the $D(t)$ form factor -- as well as the associated stress distribution and internal forces, using a Skyrme model based on the…
We investigate the gravitational form factors of a strongly coupled scalar theory that mimic the interaction between the nucleon and the pion. The non-perturbative calculation is based on the light-front Hamiltonian formalism. We…
We analyze the hard scattering amplitude of the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of hadrons at one-loop, in relation to their conformal field theory (CFT) description, within the framework of QCD factorization for hard exclusive processes…
We calculate the gravitational form factors of the pion, sigma meson, and rho meson in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model of quantum chromodynamics. The canonical energy-momentum tensor (EMT) is used in their derivation, allowing the…
We calculate the meson correlators in the $\epsilon$-regime of two-flavor QCD. On a $16^3\times 32$ lattice with $a\sim 0.11$ fm, the lattice simulations are performed with the dynamical overlap fermions. We reduce the sea quark mass down…
The electromagnetic, axial and pseudoscalar nucleon to Delta form factors are calculated using dynamical domain wall fermions at a lattice spacing of a = 0.114 fm on a lattice of spatial size 2.74 fm and pion mass of 331 MeV. Pion pole…
We present a Poisson-sigma model describing general 2D dilaton gravity with non-metricity, torsion and curvature. It involves three arbitrary functions of the dilaton field, two of which are well-known from metric compatible theories, while…
Results are presented on the neutron electric dipole moment using an ensemble of $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass clover-improved fermions with lattice spacing of $a\simeq 0.08$ fm and physical pion mass ($m_\pi\simeq 139$ MeV). The approach…
Radio-frequency E1 transitions between nearly degenerate, opposite parity levels of atomic dysprosium were monitored over an eight month period to search for a variation in the fine-structure constant. During this time period, data were…
