We study a systematic improvement of perturbation theory for gauge fields on the lattice [hep-lat/0606001]; the improvement entails resumming, to all orders in the coupling constant, a dominant subclass of tadpole diagrams. This method,…
Meson and baryon masses in the light (u,d and s) sector are calculated using tadpole-improved gauge field and fermion actions. These are corrected to order $O(a^2)$ on the classical level using next-nearest-neighbour terms. The results,…

In this paper we investigate the spectrum and decay constants of vector mesons based on $f(R)$-dilaton gravity. We focus particularly on the well-known Starobinsky model, given by the function $f(R)= R+ \alpha R^2$ in the metric formalism,…
We present a calculation of the renormalisation constants for the temporal vector current, $Z_{V_0}$ and spatial axial current, $Z_{A_k}$, to $O(\alpha_s/M)$ for $B\to D$ transitions using the $O(1/M)$ NRQCD action for both $b$ and $c$…
We revisit QCD sum rules for the decay constants of heavy-light mesons. In the sum rules for the vector mesons B^*_(s) and D^*_(s) we improve the accuracy of OPE, taking into account the O(alpha_s^2) terms in the perturbative part and…
A high statistics calculation, performed at $\beta =5.74,\;6.00$ and $6.26$, enables us to study the variation of the leptonic decay constants $f_P$ of heavy pseudoscalar mesons with the lattice spacing $a$. We observe only a weak $a$…
