We construct QCD sum rules for nonperturbative studies without assuming the quark-hadron duality for the spectral density at low energy on the hadron side. Instead, both resonance and continuum contributions to the spectral density are…
We perform a QCD sum rule analysis for the light scalar meson $\sigma$ ($f_0(600)$) with a tetraquark current related to the instanton picture for QCD vacuum. We demonstrate that instanton current, including equal weights of scalar and…
A proper way of subtracting the continuum contributions in light-cone QCD sum rules (LCQSR) is demonstrated. Specifically, we calculate the continuum corresponding to a typical OPE appearing in LCQSR by properly combining the double…

We use a novel method to calculate analytically the QCD instanton prefactor due to a quark field carrying a small mass parameter $m$. In the SU(2) instanton background of size $\rho$, the spinor effective action $\Gamma^F$ (in the minimal…
We study instanton effects in QCD at very high baryon density. In this regime instantons are suppressed by a large power of $(\Lambda_{QCD}/\mu)$, where $\Lambda_{QCD}$ is the QCD scale parameter and $\mu$ is the baryon chemical potential.…

Instanton effects and three-loop perturbative contributions are incorporated into QCD sum-rule analyses of pseudoscalar ($J^{PC}=0^{-+}$) gluonium. Gaussian sum-rules are shown to be superior to Laplace sum-rules in optimized predictions…
Dispersive sum rules constitute long-standing tools for extracting hadron features from QCD. We estimate the systematic uncertainties induced by assuming quark-hadron duality and improve the accuracy of the resulting predictions by…
In QCD the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and the U(1) axial anomaly can be understood considering instantons as the gauge configurations mediating quark-quark interaction. The existence of an exact zero mode solution of the Dirac…
I give a short review of the relation of infrared renormalons in QCD and higher twist effects, with the emphasis on possible applications. In particular, I present estimates of renormalon-induced uncertainties in deep inelastic sum rules…
In supersymmetric QCD with SU(N_c) gauge group and N_f flavors, it is known that instantons generate a superpotential if N_f=N_c-1 and deform the moduli space of vacua if N_f=N_c. But the role of instantons has been unclear for N_f>N_c. In…
Although the methods of calculation of power corrections in QCD sum rules are well known, algebraic complexity rapidly grows with the increase of vacuum condensates' dimensions. Currently, state-of-the-art calculations include dimension 7…
We present a study of the QCD interactions which do not conserve the chirality of quarks. These non-perturbative forces are responsible for the violation of the U_A(1) charge conservation and for the breaking of chiral symmetry. From a…
We propose a new estimate of the process $B \to (\rho, \omega)+ \gamma$ by using the light-cone QCD sum rule. The aim is to choose the chiral quark current operators in order to eliminate the uncertainty arising from the chiral-even…
The chiral phase transition of QCD is analyzed in a model combining random matrix elements of the Dirac operator with specially chosen non-random ones. The special form of the latter is motivated by the assumption that the fermionic…
In this paper we consider the contributions of anomalous commutators to various QCD sum rules. Using a combination of the BJL limit with the operator product expansion the results are presented in terms of the vacuum condensates of gauge…
We extend a recent sum rule calculation for inelastic quarkonium-hadron interactions to realistic parton distribution functions; we also include finite target-mass corrections. Both modifications are shown to have no significant effect on…
