Calculations of radiative corrections to the top quark width are reviewed. QCD effects are discussed for $t-\bar t$ systems produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation near the energy threshold.}
We study the incorporation of QCD effects in the basic electroweak corrections \drcar, \drcarw, and \dr. They include perturbative \Ord{\alpha\alpha_s} contributions and $t\bar{t}$ threshold effects. The latter are studied in the resonance…
Recently the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections and the electroweak O(alpha) corrections to the Higgs-strahlung processes ppbar/pp -> WH/ZH + X have been calculated. Both types of corrections are of the order of 5-10%. In this…
I report on recent progress in calculating electroweak processes within the framework of QCD in the 1/Nc expansion.
We discuss power corrections to infrared safe cross sections and event shapes, and identify a nonperturbative function that governs 1/Q corrections to these quantities.
Decoupling of heavy quarks at low energies can be described by means of an effective theory as shown by S. Weinberg in Ref. [1]. We study the decoupling of the charm quark by lattice simulations. We simulate a model, QCD with two degenerate…
Power-suppressed corrections coming from the end-point integration regions in the amplitude of the process $\gamma^{*}\gamma \to \pi \pi$ at large $Q^2$ and small squared center-of-mass energy $W^2$ are calculated in the QCD hard-scattering…
We apply heavy-quark effective theory to separate long- and short-distance effects of heavy quarks in lattice gauge theory. In this approach, the inverse heavy-quark mass and the lattice spacing are treated as short distances, and their…
For high energy processes ($M\gg \Lambda_{QCD}$) there are infrared safe hadronic shape variables that have a calculable perturbative expansion in $\alpha_s(M^2)$. However, nonperturbative power suppressed corrections to these variables are…

We calculate in next-to-leading order inclusive cross sections of single-particle production via resolved photons in $ep$ collisions at HERA. Transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions are presented and the scale dependence is studied.…
It is argued that power contributions of short distance origin naturally arise in the infrared finite coupling approach. A phenomenology of $1/Q^2$ power corrections is sketched.
We discuss the QCD corrections to the large-$m_t$ electroweak contributions to $\Delta r$ and to the process $Z\to b \bar b$ as two of the most representative examples. This needs the construction of an effetive field theory below the top…
The status of various relations among higher order QCD corrections is discussed. In particular, Drell-Levy-Yan relation and Supersymmetric relation are studied at the two-loop level. We have also investigated the validity of such relations…
We review the current status of heavy quark symmetry and its applications to weak decays of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. After an introduction to the underlying physical ideas, we discuss in detail the formalism of the heavy…
The status of the QCD-based heavy quark expansion is briefly reviewed. A good agreement between properly applied theory and new precision data is observed. Critical remarks on certain recent claims from HQET are presented. Recent…

We find the leading electroweak corrections to the Lagrangians of heavy-quark effective theory and nonrelativistic QCD. These corrections appear in the Wilson coefficients of the two- and four-quark operators and are considered here at…
