To describe the weak three-body B decays into pi+ pi- K, we recently derived amplitudes based on two-body QCD factorization followed by pi+ pi- final state interactions in isoscalar S- and isovector P-waves. We study here the sensitivity of…
We analyze the contributions of hadronic final-state interactions to the strong phases generated in the B -> Kpipi weak decays. To this end, we develop an alternative approach to the commonly employed isobar model based upon scalar and…
The ratio of partial decay rates for charged and neutral $B$ mesons to $K \pi$ final states provides information on the weak phase $\gamma \equiv {\rm Arg} (V_{ub}^*)$ when augmented with information on the CP-violating asymmetry in the…
We discuss recent results for the equation of state for cold and dense strongly interacting matter. We consider the extreme cases of very high densities, where weak-coupling approaches may in principle give reasonable results, and very low…
Because of the small size of the ratio A_2/A_0 of the I=2 to I=0 K -> pipi decay amplitudes (the Delta I=1/2 rule) the effects of electromagnetism on A_2 may be a factor of 20 larger than given by a naive O(alpha) estimate. Thus, if future…
The rare kaon decays $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ are strongly suppressed in the standard model and widely regarded as processes in which new phenomena, not predicted by the standard model, may be observed. Recognizing such new phenomena requires…

We reexamine, update and extend a suggestion we made fifteen years ago for measuring the photon polarization in $b \to s\gamma$ by observing in $B \to K\pi\pi\gamma$ an asymmetry of the photon with respect to the $K\pi\pi$ plane.…
In this short review, I present the recent lattice computations of kaon weak matrix elements relevant to $K \to \pi\pi$ decays and neutral kaon mixing. These matrix elements are key to the theoretical determination of the CP violation…

We report a direct lattice calculation of the $K$ to $\pi\pi$ decay matrix elements for both $\Delta I=1/2$ and $3/2$ channels on 2+1 flavor, domain wall fermion, $16^3\times32$ lattices with zero $\pi\pi$ relative momentum and $m_\pi=420$…
Delta I=3/2, K to Pi Pi matrix elements are calculated on 68 configurations of quenched 24^3 x 64 lattices using the DBW2 action, and domain wall fermions with L_s=16. The lattice spacing is a^(-1)=1.3 GeV, corresponding to a physical…
The first full amplitude analysis of $B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+$ with $J/\psi\to\mu^+\mu^-$, $\phi\to K^+K^-$ decays is performed with a data sample of 3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV with the LHCb…
Rare kaon decays are an important testing ground of the electroweak flavor theory: They can provide new signals of CP-violating phenomena. The interplay of long-distance QCD effects in strangeness-changing transitions can be analyzed with…
Careful discussions are made on some points which are met in studying B decay final state interactions, taking the $B^0\to \pi^+ K^-$ process as an example. We point out that $\pi$--exchange rescatterings are not important, whereas for…
