We calculate the effects of including dynamical fermion loops in the lattice QCD estimates of meson decay constants, by extrapolating the results from negative flavour numbers after a suitable matching of the pion and rho mass. For…
In this study, we investigate the masses and decay constants of the light mesons with $J^P = 3^-$ ( $\rho_3, \omega_3, K_3, \phi_3$) within the QCD sum rules method by taking into account $SU(3)$ violation effects. We state that our…
