I discuss the progress in our theoretical understanding of the eta-gamma and eta'-gamma transition form factors, including the recent data from CLEO and L3 at large momentum transfer, Q^2. The experimental data above Q^2=1 GeV^2 can be well…
The relation for transition form factors of eta and eta' mesons is obtained by combining the exact nonperturbative QCD sum rule, following from the dispersive representation of axial anomaly, and quark-hadron duality. It is valid at all…

The S and P wave $\pi \pi$ phase shifts are recalculated in terms of two phenomenological parameters using the one loop CPTh and the elastic unitarity condition. Using these phase shifts, the vector and scalar form factors are calculated…
We explain how an analytic continuation we have developed recently is applied to determine the residues of the nucleon resonance poles within a dynamical coupled-channel model of meson-baron reactions. A procedure for evaluating the…

The point-form version of the Bakamjian-Thomas construction is applied to the description of several semileptonic decays of mesons. Weak form factors are extracted without ambiguity for pseudoscalar-to-pseudoscalar as well as for…
We discuss in rather general terms the properties of space-like baryon transition form factors. In particular, we argue why these are necessarily complex-valued, what can be deduced from the respective phase motion and why dealing with real…
A general analysis of polarization phenomena for coherent meson electroproduction on deuterons, $e+ d\to e+ d +P^0$, where $P^0$ is a pseudoscalar $\pi ^0$ or $\eta$-meson, is presented. The spin structure of the electromagnetic current for…
Working with Resonance Chiral Theory, within the two resonance multiplets saturation scheme, we satisfy leading (and some subleading) chiral and asymptotic QCD constraints and accurately fit simultaneously the $\pi^{0},\eta,\eta^{\prime}$…

We consider the evaluation of the $\eta\pi$ isospin-violating vector and scalar form factors relying on a systematic application of analyticity and unitarity, combined with chiral expansion results. It is argued that the usual analyticity…
Measuring the lepton anomalous magnetic moments $(g-2)$ and the rare decays of light pseudoscalar mesons into lepton pairs $P\to l^{+}l^{-} $, serve as important tests of the Standard Model. To reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the…
Dispersion relations provide a powerful tool to describe the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon both in the spacelike and timelike regions with constraints from unitarity and perturbative QCD. We give a brief introduction into…
The electromagnetic form factors of light and heavy pseudoscalar mesons are calculated within two covariant constituent-quark models, a light-front and a dispersion relation approach. We investigate the details and physical origins of the…
