We analyze the recent MIT lattice data for the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of the pion which extend up to $Q^2= 2~{\rm GeV}^2$ for $m_\pi=170$~MeV~\cite{Hackett:2023nkr}. We show that simple monopole fits comply with the old idea of…

We give a short review of QCD sum rule results for B and D mesons and Lambda_Q and Sigma_Q baryons. We focus mainly on recent developments concerning semileptonic B->pion and D->pion transitions, pion couplings to heavy hadrons, decay…
In the present paper, we investigate the kaon twist-3 distribution amplitudes (DAs) $\phi_{p,\sigma}^K$ within the QCD background field approach. The $SU_f(3)$-breaking effects are studied in detail under a systematical way, especially the…
We report results on the $\pi$-$\gamma$ transition form factor obtained within the hard scattering approach including transverse momentum effects and Sudakov corrections. The results clearly favor distribution amplitudes close to the…
The vector and axial pion-photon transition distribution amplitudes are analyzed in the Spectral Quark Model. We proceed by the evaluation of double distributions through the use of a manifestly covariant calculation based on the alpha…

We compare phenomenological values of the frozen QCD running coupling constant ($\alpha_s$) with two classes of solutions obtained through nonperturbative Schwinger-Dyson equations. We use these same solutions with frozen coupling constants…
In this paper we revisit the general phenomenon that scattering amplitudes of pions can be obtained from "dimensional reduction" of gluons in higher dimensions in a more general context. We show that such "dimensional reduction" operations…
We adopt a non-perturbative relativistic constituent-quark model for the pi-meson electromagnetic form factor, which have successfully predicted experimental results, and supplement it with the effective momentum-dependent quark mass to…
The transverse charge density of the pion is extracted from a dispersive analysis of the $e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ exclusive annihilation data. A logarithmic dispersion relation is used to compute the unknown phase of the timelike…
We present the status of the Mainz group's lattice QCD calculation of the pion transition form factor $\mathcal{F}_{\pi^0\gamma^\ast\gamma^\ast}$, which describes the interaction of an on-shell pion with two off-shell photons. This form…

The pseudoscalar projection of the pion's Poincare'-covariant Bethe-Salpeter amplitude onto the light-front may be understood to provide the probability distribution of the chiral condensate within the pion. Unlike the parton distribution…
We discuss the nonleading, ``soft" contribution to the pion form factor at intermediate momentum transfer within operator product expansion approach. We argue, that the corresponding contribution can temporarily {\bf simulate} the leading…
