The renormalization of chiral perturbation theory is carried out to next-to-next-to-leading order in the meson sector. We calculate the divergent part of the generating functional of Green functions of quark currents to O(p^6) for chiral…
We calculate meson correlators in the epsilon-regime within partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. The valence quark masses and sea quark masses can be chosen arbitrary and all non-degenerate. Taking some of the sea quark masses to…
Partially quenched theories are theories in which the valence- and sea-quark masses are different. Here, we will discuss the nonanalytic one-loop corrections to some physical quantities, using partially quenched chiral perturbation theory.…
We derive the generating functional of $|\Delta S| =1, 2$ hadronic weak interactions at one loop for a generic number of flavours and its counterpart in the quenched approximation. A systematic analysis of the ultraviolet divergences in the…
The existing Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) calculations at order $p^6$ are reviewed. The principles of ChPT and how they are used are introduced. The main part is a review of the two- and three-flavour full two-loop calculations and…
The ultraviolet behaviour of the generating functional for hadronic weak interactions with $|\Delta S| =1, 2$ is investigated to one loop for a generic number of flavours and in the quenched approximation. New quenched chiral logarithms…

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 $\Delta…
I discuss the inclusion of baryons into partially-quenched chiral perturbation theory and describe one-loop calculations that have been performed.
We present results for physical quantities computed in quenched chiral perturbation theory and compare them with the corresponding unquenched expressions. We also point out an apparent theoretical problem of the quenched approximation.…
In this paper we use one-loop chiral perturbation theory in order to compare lattice computations of the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. This makes it possible to investigate three systematic effects that plague…
Recently, the contributions of chiral logarithms predicted by quenched chiral perturbation theory have been extracted from lattice calculations of hadron masses. We argue that a detailed comparison of random matrix theory and lattice…
Quenched chiral perturbation is used to study the decay constants for heavy-light mesons beyond the leading order in 1/M. The results are used to estimate the error in quenched lattice calculations of the decay constants. For the double…
Using the Schr\"odinger functional we have computed a variety of renormalized on-shell correlation functions to one-loop order of perturbation theory. By studying their approach to the continuum limit we have determined the O($a$)…
In the quenched approximation, loops of the light singlet meson (the $\eta'$) give rise to a type of chiral logarithm absent in full QCD. These logarithms are singular in the chiral limit throwing doubt upon the utility of the quenched…
We discuss how to formulate a staggered chiral perturbation theory. This amounts to a generalization of the Lee-Sharpe Lagrangian to include more than one flavor (i.e. multiple staggered fields), which turns out to be nontrivial. One loop…
We calculate the partition function of partially quenched chiral perturbation theory in the epsilon regime at next-to-leading order using the supersymmetry method in the formulation without a singlet particle. We include a nonzero imaginary…
In a previous publication, we have constructed the Schr\"odinger functional in Wilson's lattice QCD. It was found that the naive continuum limit leads to a well-defined classical continuum theory. Starting from the latter, a formal…
We perform a calculation in one-loop chiral perturbation theory of the two-pion matrix elements and correlation functions of an I=0 scalar operator, in finite and infinite volumes for both full and quenched QCD. We show that major…
We consider the Resonance Chiral Theory with one multiplet of scalar and pseudoscalar resonances, up to bilinear couplings in the resonance fields, and evaluate its beta-function at one-loop with the use of the background field method. Thus…
