We construct QCD sum rules for nonperturbative studies without assuming the quark-hadron duality for the spectral density at low energy on the hadron side. Instead, both resonance and continuum contributions to the spectral density are…
A general class of inverse-moment sum rules was previously derived by the authors in a chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) study at two-loop order of the isospin and hypercharge vector-current propagators. Here, we address the evaluation of…

We consider properties of the structure functions of inclusive heavy meson decays $B\to X_c$ and treat the $c$ quark mass as a free parameter. We show that in two extreme cases of heavy and light $c$ quark the structure functions of…

With QCD sum rule evaluations, spectral changes of hadrons inside nuclear matter are considered, which shed light on QCD condensates and thus on the non-perturbative structure of the QCD ground state. For some light quark configurations,…
A theoretical framework is suggested for the calculation of gamma* N -> Delta transition form factors using the light-cone sum rule approach. Leading-order sum rules are derived and compared with the existing experimental data. We find that…

We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the perturbative term in the operator product expansion of the spectral functions of light tetraquark currents. By using also configuration space methods we keep the momentum space…
The supersymmetric standard model with supergravity-inspired soft breaking terms predicts a rich pectrum of sparticles to be discovered at the SSC, LHC and NLC. Because there are more supersymmetric particles than unknown parameters, one…
We present the analytic results for the non-singlet contributions to the three-loop mixed strong-electroweak ${\mathcal{O}}(\alpha_s^2\alpha)$ virtual corrections to the quark form factors. The primary challenge of this computation arises…
We study the influence of non-valence quark-pair contributions in weak transition form factors of heavy-light mesons. Form factors are first calculated for spacelike momentum transfers in a reference frame where such contributions are…
A formalism for studying heavy quarks in terms of model Dyson-Schwinger equations is developed. The formalism is the natural extension of a technique which has proved successful in a number of studies of light hadron physics. The dressed…

The importance of the nonlinear corrections on the momentum sum rule is investigated on the initial scale $Q_{0}^2$. Nonlinear corrections are found to play an indispensable role in the singlet and gluon momentum sum rule in the high-order…
We use a space-time asymmetric O(a) improved fermion action and fix the asymmetry non-perturbatively to restore the relativistic dispersion relation. We compute spectra and matrix elements of quarkonia and heavy-light mesons and compare…
