Soft-pion theorems are used to show how chiral symmetry constrains the contributions of low-momentum pions to the quark condensate, the pion decay constant and hadron masses, all of which have been proposed as signals of partial restoration…
Quark-hadron duality implies that a process described in terms of quark loops should be the hadronic amplitude when averaged over a sufficient number of states. Ambiguities associated with the notion of quark hadron duality can be made…

The mass difference of $c$ and $u$ quarks is similar to the energy needed to excite gluonic degrees of freedom in strong QCD. This underpins the degeneracy of $D$ and a recently observed candidate hybrid excitation of the $\pi$ at$\sim…
We present a calculation of the coupling constant f0-->rho-gamma of and a0-->rho-gamma decays from the point of the light cone QCD sum rules. We estimate the coupling constants g_f0-rho-gamma and g_a0-rho-gamma which are an essential…

The gluon condensate is very sensitive to the QCD deconfinement transition since its value changes drastically with the deconfinement transition. We calculate the gluon condensate dependence of the heavy quark potential in AdS/CFT to study…
We demonstrate that fermion masses in the Standard Model (SM) can be constrained by the dispersion relations obeyed by hadronic and semileptonic decay widths of a fictitious heavy quark $Q$ with an arbitrary mass. These relations, imposing…
Using the non-relativistic version of Borel sum rules, combined to the very accurate experimental information on the Charmonium and Upsilon spectra, we rigorously investigate the Euclidean mass of the Charm and Bottom quark. Our analysis is…

We discuss cross-link relations between the $\pi$ and $\rho$-meson channels emerging from two different descriptions of the QCD vacuum: Instanton physics and QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates (NLC). We derive in both schemes an…
The masses of baryons containing two heavy quarks and their couplings to the corresponding quark currents are evaluated in the framework of NRQCD sum rules. The coulomb-like corrections in the system of doubly heavy diquark are taken into…
We calculate masses of the light-quark hybrid mesons with the quantum number $0^{++}$ and $0^{-+}$ by using the QCD sum rules. Two kinds of the interpolated currents with the same quantum number are employed. We find that the approximately…
We evaluate $f_{\pi}/ m_{\rho}$, $f_K/ m_{\rho}$, $1/f_{\rho}$, and $ m_{\phi}/(f_{\phi} m_{\rho})$, extrapolated to physical quark mass, zero lattice spacing and infinite volume, for lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched)…

Sum rules for the nonperturbative piece of correlators (specifically, the vector current correlator) are discussed. The sum rule subtracting the perturbative part is of the superconvergent type. Thus it is dominated by the bound states and…
