We present a lattice QCD computation and preliminary results for the leptonic decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons $K$, $D$ and $D_{s}$ in the isosymmetric QCD limit. The computation is based on simulations of $N_f = 2+1+1$ dynamical…
In this paper we numerically demonstrate that massless two-dimensional QCD is not integrable. To this aim, we explicitly solve the 't Hooft integral equation for bound states by an adaptive spline procedure, and compute the decay…
General relations between the form factors of B decays to light mesons are derived using the heavy quark and large recoil expansion. On their basis the complete account of contributions of second order in the ratio of the light meson mass…
We set up sum rules for heavy lambda decays in a full QCD calculation which in the heavy quark mass limit incorporates the symmetries of heavy quark effective theory. For the semileptonic $\La_c$ decay we obtain a reasonable agreement with…
Various exclusive and inclusive decays of B mesons are studied, at present, with dedicated experiments at ``B factories''. In order to compete with the experimental accuracy, we need a reliable theoretical framework to compute strong…
The Bakamjian-Thomas relativistic quark model for hadron current matrix elements, while non-covariant at finite mass, is successful in the heavy quark limit : form factors are covariant and satisfy Isgur-Wise scaling and Bjorken-Uraltsev…
The matching of global anomalies of a supersymmetric gauge theory and its dual is seen to follow from similarities in their classical chiral rings. These similarities provide a formula for the dimension of the dual gauge group. As examples…

We investigate the influence of dynamical charm quarks on observables that depend explicitly on the charm quark fields, like the pseudo-scalar and vector masses $m_{\eta_c}$ and $m_{J/\psi}$, the hyperfine splitting…
The possibility of revealing new physics by studying the flavor sector of the Standard Model strongly depends upon the accuracy that will be achieved in (near) future lattice QCD calculations and, in particular, on heavy-light meson's…
We consider rare semileptonic decays of a heavy $D$-meson into a light vector meson in the framework of QCD factorization. In contrast to the corresponding $B$-meson decays, the naive factorization hypothesis does not even serve as a first…
In this article, we calculate the contributions of the vacuum condensates up to dimension-6 including the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the quark condensates in the operator product expansion, then study the masses and decay…
For a heavy Higgs boson above the $t\bar t$ threshold we consider three decay modes that could compete with decay to $t\bar t$, even in the alignment limit of a 2-Higgs doublet model. The decays $H\to AZ$, $ Z'Z'$ and $\tau'\tau'$ show that…
We apply a recent theoretical analysis of hadronic observables in inclusive semileptonic heavy hadron decays to the phenomenology of $B$ and $D$ mesons. Correlated bounds on the nonperturbative parameters $\bar\Lambda$ and $\lambda_1$ are…
We investigate heavy-light quark systems within the framework of the QCD instanton vacuum, focusing on the $N_f = 1$ light flavor case. We derive an effective heavy-light quark interaction from the low-energy QCD partition function and…
I report on recent developments in the heavy-quark effective theory and its application to $B$ meson decays. The parameters of the effective theory, the spin-flavor symmetry limit, and the leading symmetry-breaking corrections to it are…
We study the masses and decay constants of heavy-light flavour mesons D, Ds, B and Bs in a QCD Potential model. The mesonic wavefunction is used to compute the masses of D and B mesons in the ground state and the wavefunction is transformed…

Exclusive hadronic B-meson decays into two-body final states consisting of a light pseudoscalar or vector meson along with an eta or eta' meson are of great phenomenological interest. Their theoretical analysis involves decay mechanisms…
We investigate the behavior of light baryon masses in three inequivalent large-$N_c$ limits: 't~Hooft, QCD$_{{\rm AS}}$ and Corrigan-Ramond. Our framework is a constituent quark model with relativistic-type kinetic energy, stringlike…
