QCD sum rules are useful tools for studying the spectral properties of hadrons; however, assumptions underlying standard sum-rule analyses can lead to inconsistencies with known results of chiral perturbation theory. This possibility is…
In this article, we study the $B \to K^*_2(1430)$, $a_2(1320)$, $f_2(1270)$ form-factors with the light-cone QCD sum rules, where the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are used. In calculations, we observe that the line-shapes of…
We derive a set of light-cone sum rules relating the hadronic form factors relevant for $B\to K\pi\ell^+\ell^-$ decays to the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs). We obtain the sum rule relations for all $B\to K\pi$ form…
This work addresses the calculation of local form factors involved in the theoretical predictions of semileptonic $B$-meson decays at low $q^2$. We present a new approach to the method of QCD light-cone sum rule with $B$-meson light-cone…

We outline the developed approach within the light-cone sum rules at the leading order for calculation of the gravitational form factors related to the nucleon valence quark combinations. The predictions for the gravitational form factor…
We estimate the form factors that parametrise the hadronic matrix elements of proton-to-pion transitions with the help of light-cone sum rules. These form factors are relevant for semi-leptonic proton decay channels induced by baryon-number…

Using a specific scheme of the QCD sum rules, one derives an universal formula for the mass differences for the $nS$-levels of heavy qiarkonium. This relation does not depend on the flavours of the heavy quarks, composing the quarkonium,…
