QCD Laplace sum-rules are used to calculate axial vector $(J^{PC}=1^{++})$ charmonium and bottomonium hybrid masses. Previous sum-rule studies of axial vector heavy quark hybrids did not include the dimension-six gluon condensate, which has…
The quark condensate is calculated within the world-line effective-action formalism, by using for the Wilson loop an ansatz provided by the stochastic vacuum model. Starting with the relation between the quark and the gluon condensates in…
We investigate the effects of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking on the QCD condensates, based on the nonlocal effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum, focusing on the quark-gluon mixed one. We employ two different parameterizations…
The in-medium masses of the lowest S-wave charmonium states (vector meson, $J/\psi$ and pseudoscalar meson, $\eta_c$) and P-wave charmonium states (scalar, $\chi_{c0}$ and axialvector $\chi_{c1}$) are investigated in magnetized nuclear…
We use lattice QCD simulations, with MILC gluon configurations and HISQ c-quark propagators, to make very precise determinations of moments of charm-quark pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector correlators. These moments are combined with…
We evaluate the next-to-leading (NLO) corrections to the perturbative (PT) and $< \alpha_s G^2>$ condensate and the LO constant term of the $< G^3 > $ contributions to the $2^{++}$ tensor di-gluonium two-point correlator. Using these…
We extract the charm quark mass and the strong coupling constant from the charmonium current correlators calculated with $n_f = 2 + 1$ Mobius domain wall fermions. We match our lattice calculation for the temporal moments of the correlator…
We propose a phenomenological QCD sum rule with an explicit diquark field to investigate the essential ingredients inside the hadrons. Introducing the mass (m_\phi) and the condensate (\phi^2) for the diquark field as parameters in the…
Gaussian QCD sum-rules are used to analyze all possible two-point correlation functions of scalar gluonic and quark currents. The independent predictions of the masses and relative coupling strengths from the different correlators are…
The lowest dimensional gluon condensate $G_2$ is analysed at finite temperature and chemical potential using a bottom/up holographic model of QCD. Starting from the free energy of the model, pressure, entropy and quark density are obtained.…
QCD sum rules are used to estimate the flavour SU(3)-symmetry violation in two-body B decays to pions and kaons. In the factorizable amplitudes the SU(3)-violation manifests itself in the ratio of the decay constants f_K/f_pi and in the…
It is argued that it is valid to use QCD sum rules to determine the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at zero momentum, which in turn determine the ratio of the strange to non-strange quark condensates $R_{su} = \frac{<\bar{s}…
We address the problem of observed charmonium decays which should be forbidden in perturbative QCD. We examine the model in which these decays proceed through a gluonic component of the $J/\Psi$ and the $\eta_c$, arising from a mixing of…
The B-decay constant $f_B$ is an important component for studying $B$-meson decays, which can be studied through QCD sum rules. We make a detailed discussion on $f_B$ from two sum rules, i.e. sum rules I and II, which are derived from the…
QCD sum rules are evaluated at finite nucleon densities and temperatures to determine the change of pole mass parameters for the lightest vector mesons $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ in a strongly interacting medium at conditions relevant for…
We use QCD sum rules to study the masses of the baryons $\Xi_c$ and $\Xi_b$. We work with a current where the strange and the light quarks are in a relative spin zero, at leading order in $\alpha_s$. We consider the contributions of…
We employ nonperturbative flow equations for an investigation of the effective action in Yang-Mills theories. We compute the effective action $\Gamma[B]$ for constant color magnetic fields $B$ and examine Savvidy's conjecture of an unstable…
We consider the multi-collinear limit of multi-gluon QCD amplitudes at tree level. We use the MHV rules for constructing colour ordered tree amplitudes and the general collinear factorization formula to derive timelike splitting functions…
We present a new perspective on the nature of quark and gluon condensates in quantum chromodynamics. We suggest that the spatial support of QCD condensates is restricted to the interiors of hadrons, since these condensates arise due to the…
This study establishes bounds on the leading-order (LO) hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon ($a_\mu^{\mathrm{HVP,LO}}$, $a_\mu = (g-2)_\mu/2$) by using H\"older's inequality and…
