We compute three-loop corrections of $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{s}^3)$ to form factors with one massive and one massless quark coupling to an external vector, axialvector, scalar, pseudoscalar, or tensor current. We obtain analytic results for…
The complete expression of the heavy quark-antiquark potential up to order $1/m^2$ is known from QCD in terms of Wilson loop expectation values. We use that expression and a mapping, assumed to be valid at large distances, between Wilson…
We calculate the `one-point function', meaning the marginal probability density function for any single eigenvalue, of real and complex Wishart correlation matrices. No explicit expression had been obtained for the real case so far. We…

The gauge invariant two-point correlation function of the gauge field strength tensor is calculated in perturbation theory at the next-to-leading order. Besides a direct calculation in perturbative QCD we also present a derivation of the…
The moments of the heavy quark-parton distribution functions in a heavy pseudoscalar meson, obtained in QCD sum rules, are expanded in the inverse heavy quark. Comparison with the finite mass results reveals that while the heavy mass…
Recently there has been progress on the calculation of n-point correlation functions with two "heavy" (with large quantum numbers) states at strong coupling. We extend these findings by computing three-point functions corresponding to a…

We use supershadow methods to derive new expressions for superconformal blocks in 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theories. We analyze the four-point function $\langle\mathcal{A}_1 \mathcal{A}_2^\dagger \mathcal{B}_1…
Polygonal lines are used for the paths of the gluon field phase factors entering in the definition of gauge invariant quark Green's functions. This allows classification of the Green's functions according to the number of segments the…
To entirely determine the resulting functions of one-loop integrals it is necessary to find the correct analytic continuation to all relevant kinematical regions. We argue that this continuation procedure may be performed in a general and…
