We present analytic formulae for the QCD renormalization group factors relating the Wilson coefficients C_i(mu_t) and C_i(mu), with mu_t = O(m_t) and mu < mu_t, of the Delta F=2 dimension six four-quark operators Q_i in the Standard Model…
Properties of b-baryon decay matrix elements (amplitudes) have been derived in a nonsymmetric quark model without any use of SU(6), SU(3), or SU(2) (isotopic spin) groups. Equalities between pairs of amplitudes are derived, and…
We demonstrate a method for calculating the neutral B-meson decay constants and mixing matrix elements in unquenched lattice QCD with domain-wall light quarks and static b-quarks. Our computation is performed on the "2+1" flavor gauge…
We present results on the renormalization functions of the quark field and fermion bilinears with up to one covariant derivative. For the fermion part of the action we employ the twisted mass formulation with $N_f{=}2$ and $N_f{=}4$…
Renormalization conditions imposed on quark bilinear vertex functions in the conventional RI/MOM scheme use exceptional momentum configurations. With practical values for the lattice cutoff, these vertex functions are contaminated with…
$K \to \pi$ and $K \to 0$ weak matrix elements of $\Delta S = 1$ operators have been measured in 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion (DWF) QCD on (3 fm)$^3$ lattices with $a^{-1} = 1.73(3)$ GeV. As is well known, using these matrix elements and…
Heavy-meson semileptonic decays calculations on the lattice are reviewed. The focus is upon obtaining reliable matrix elements. Errors that depend upon the lattice spacing, $a$, are an important source of systematic error. Full $O(a)$…

Quasi-PDFs provide a path toward an ab initio calculation of parton distribution functions (PDFs) using lattice QCD. One of the problems faced in calculations of quasi-PDFs is the renormalization of a nonlocal operator. By introducing an…
We obtain explicitly the renormalization group equations for the quark mass matrices in terms of a set of rephasing invariant parameters. For a range of assumed high energy values for the mass ratios and mixing parameters, they are found to…
We define a family of Schroedinger Functional renormalization schemes for the four-quark multiplicatively renormalizable operators of the $\Delta F = 1$ and $\Delta F = 2$ effective weak Hamiltonians. Using the lattice regularization with…
In applying large-momentum effective theory, renormalization of the Euclidean correlators in lattice regularization is a challenge due to linear divergences in the self-energy of Wilson lines. Based on lattice QCD matrix elements of the…
We provide first evidence that Matrix Models describe the low lying complex Dirac eigenvalues in a theory with dynamical fermions at non-zero density. Lattice data for gauge group SU(2) with staggered fermions are compared to detailed…
Simple transformation formulas between fermion matrices and observables, and numerical values of quark matrices, are obtained on a particular weak basis with one quark matrix diagonal and the other with vanishing elements 1-1, 1-3 and 3-1,…
