The charged and neutral pion mass difference can be attributed to both the QED and QCD contributions. The current quark mass difference ($\Delta m$) is the source of the QCD contribution. Here, in a two-flavour non-local NJL model, we try…

We present a sum-rule calculation of the decay constants of the charmed vector mesons $D^*$ and $D^*_s$ from the two-point correlator of vector currents. First, we show that the perturbative expansion in terms of the pole mass exhibits no…
Wilson coefficients of light four-quark condensates in QCD sum rules are evaluated for pseudo-scalar $D$ mesons, thus, pushing the sum rules toward mass dimension six. Contrary to the situation for $\bar{q}q$ mesons the impact of the…

We calculate the masses and leptonic decay constants of the heavy vector quarkonia, $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ mesons at finite temperature. In particular, considering the thermal spectral density as well as additional operators coming up at…
The temperature dependence of the sum of the QCD up- and down-quark masses, $(m_u + m_d)$ and the pion decay constant, $f_\pi$, are determined from two thermal finite energy QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar-current correlator. This…
We derive QCD sum rules from the nucleon two-point function in nuclear medium, calculating its specral function in chiral perturbation theory to one loop. Our calculation shows the inadequacy of the commonly used ansatz to represent the…

We study the Schwinger model with $N_{\rm f} \geq 2$ degenerate fermion flavors, by means of lattice simulations. We use dynamical Wilson fermions for $N_{\rm f} = 2$, and re-weighted quenched configurations for overlap-hypercube fermions…
The pion decay constant $F_{\pi}$ plays an important role in QCD and in Chiral Perturbation Theory. It is hardly known, however, that a corresponding constant exists in the Schwinger model with $N_{\rm f} \geq 2$ degenerate fermion flavors.…
