It has been a long-standing problem that the rare electromagnetic decay process $J/\psi\to 3\gamma$ is plagued with both large and negative radiative and relativistic corrections. To date it remains futile to make a definite prediction to…
The following topics in perturbative QCD are reviewed: recent theoretical progress in higher-order calculations; soft-gluon resummation for hard-scattering processes at large $E_T$ and high $x$; low-$x$ behaviour of structure functions and…

We re-examine the estimate of $\als$ and of the QCD condensates from $e^+e^-\rar I=1$ hadrons data. We conclude that $e^+e^-$ at low energies gives a value of $\Lambda$ compatible with the one from LEP and from tau inclusive decay. Using a…

We study Seiberg duality for N=1 supersymmetric QCD with soft supersymmetry-breaking terms. We generate the soft terms through gauge mediation by coupling two theories related by Seiberg duality to the same supersymmetry-breaking sector. In…
We further develop the approach recently used to construct an analytic ghost-free model for the QCD running coupling based on the requirement of the $Q^2$-analyticity and apply it to the process of $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadrons to…
