Three years after the completion of the next-to-leading order calculation, the status of the theoretical estimates of $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is reviewed. In spite of the theoretical progress, the prediction of $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is still…
Nature might be kinder than previously thought as far as epsilon'/epsilon is concerned. We show that the recently obtained experimental value for epsilon'/epsilon does not require sizeable 1/N and isospin-breaking corrections. We propose to…
A recent lattice evaluation of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, finding a 2.1 $\sigma$ deviation from the experimental value, has revived the old debate about a possible $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ anomaly. The unfounded claims of a too low…
The long-distance contributions to $K\to 2\pi$ amplitudes can be pinned down, using well established Chiral Perturbation Theory techniques. The strong S--wave rescattering of the two final pions generates sizeable chiral loop corrections,…

A recent lattice prediction of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, with a 2.1 $\sigma$ deviation from the experimental value, has triggered several studies of possible contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. We have recently updated…
The present status of the ratio $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM) is summarized. In particular we stress the differences between three approaches that attempt to calculate $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ within the SM:…
Determining the sample size of an experiment can be challenging, even more so when incorporating external information via a prior distribution. Such information is increasingly used to reduce the size of the control group in randomized…
We present an improved Standard-Model (SM) prediction for the dilepton decay of the neutral pion. The loop amplitude is determined by the pion transition form factor for $\pi^0\to\gamma^*\gamma^*$, for which we employ a dispersive…
Using the idea of the penguin box expansion we find an analytic expression for epsilon'/epsilon in the Standard Model as a function of m_t, m_s(m_c) and two non-perturbative parameters B_6 and B_8. This formula includes next-to-leading…
An approach is suggested defining effective sums of divergent series in the form of self-similar exponential approximants. The procedure of constructing these approximants from divergent series with arbitrary noninteger powers is developed.…
It is known, that an $\epsilon$-machine is either exactly or asymptotically synchronizing. In the exact case, the observer can infer the current machine state after observing $L$ generated symbols with probability $1-a^L$ where $0 \leq a<1$…

An efficient approach to the calculation of the $\epsilon$-entropy is proposed. The method is based on the idea of looking at the information content of a string of data, by analyzing the signal only at the instants when the fluctuations…
