We calculate the pressure (p), the energy density (\epsilon) and the baryon density (n_B) of QCD at finite temperatures (T) and chemical potentials (\mu). The recently proposed overlap improving multi-parameter reweighting technique is used…
We develop quenched chiral perturbation theory for baryons using the graded-symmetry formalism of Bernard and Golterman and calculate non-analytic contributions to the baryon masses coming from quenched chiral loops. The usual term…
Baryons of lower spin in partially quenched large-$N_c$ QCD are studied with particular emphasis to interpolation between standard unquenched and fully quenched limits. In large $N_c$ limit of partially quenched QCD, we calculate $\Delta…
We obtain the baryon number density, n, and the excess contribution to the pressure, Delta P, at finite chemical potential, mu_B, and temperature, T, by resumming the Taylor series expansion in a lattice computation with lattice spacing of…
The 1/m corrections to heavy baryon masses are calculated from the QCD sum rules within the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. Numerical results for the heavy baryons are obtained. The implications of the results are discussed.
We determine the continuum limit of the curvature of the pseudocritical line of QCD with $n_f$=2+1 staggered fermions at nonzero temperature and quark density. We perform Monte Carlo simulations at imaginary baryon chemical potentials,…
In the Monte Carlo study of QCD at finite baryon density based upon the phase reweighting method, the pion condensation in the phase-quenched theory and associated zero-mode prevent us to go to the low-temperature high-density region. We…
We investigate relativistic corrections of order $1/m^{2}$, where $m$ is the constituent quark mass, to heavy baryon decays by emitting one pseudoscalar meson in the quark model. This work is motivated by shortcomings in the previous…
The analysis of $1/m_Q^2$ corrections of the previous paper is extended to the semileptonic decays of heavy baryons. We focus on the simplest case, the ground state $\Lambda_Q$ baryons, in which the light degrees of freedom are in a state…
Quenched chiral perturbation is used to study the decay constants for heavy-light mesons beyond the leading order in 1/M. The results are used to estimate the error in quenched lattice calculations of the decay constants. For the double…
QCD inequalities are derived for the masses of mesons and baryons containing a single heavy quark using the heavy quark effective field theory. A rigorous lower bound is obtained for the $\bar\Lambda$ parameters of the heavy quark effective…
We present first results from a first-principles calculation of the QCD equation of state to $\mathcal{O}(\mu_B^4)$, where $\mu_B$ is the baryon chemical potential. We find that second-order corrections are sufficient for a large part of…
We present the inconsistencies which arise in quenched QCD in $\Delta I=1/2$ non-leptonic kaon decays using chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) to one loop. In particular we discuss how the lack of unitarity of the quenched theory invalidates…

QCD one-loop corrections to the semileptonic process $e^+ e^- \to \mu^- \bar \nu_\mu u \bar d$ are computed. We compare the exact calculation with a ``naive'' approach to strong radiative corrections which has been widely used in the…
The one-loop supersymmetric QCD corrections to the top quark semileptonic decays $t\to b \bar{l} {\nu_l}$ are considered. The corrections are found to reduce the decay width. In the still acceptable parameter space the corrections to the…
We present some new results regarding simulations of finite density QCD based on a canonical approach. A previous study has shown that such simulations are feasible, at least on small lattices. In the current study, we investigate some of…
