We compute and compare the continuum limits of several quantities in QCD with and without a dynamical charm quark. We consider both low energy quantities, like the hadronic scales $r_0$ and $t_0$, and high energy quantities, like the…
I explore the rich phase diagram of two-flavor QCD as a function of the quark masses. The theory involves three parameters, including one that is CP violating. As the masses vary, regions of both first and second order transitions are…

The talk discusses preliminary results of an updated analysis of the strange quark mass from the scalar current QCD sum rules [1]. In particular the role of the scalar form factor which is a main ingredient in the analysis is especially…
In this work, $T_{cc}$ double charm tetraquark and $1^{+}$ and $0^{+}$ hidden charm tetraquarks are studied within the QCD sum rules framework. In the heavy-quark limit, the $1^+$ and $0^+$ tetraquarks are degenerate and the difference in…
Recent accurate data on F_2(x,Q) and on F_2^c(x,Q) from HERA at small-x require a more precise treatment of charm production in the global QCD analysis of parton distributions. We improve on existing global analyses by implementing the…
We present an overview of state of the art lattice quantum chromodynamcis calculations for heavy-light quantities. Special focus is given to the calculation of form factors for semi-leptonic decays of $B_{(s)}$ and $D$ mesons, the…
We calculate the radiative corrections to the nonleptonic inclusive B decay mode $b\rightarrow c\bar u d$ taking into account the charm quark mass. Compared to the massless case, corrections resulting from a nonvanishing c quark mass…
QCD Laplace sum-rules are used to examine the constituent mass spectrum of $J^P\in\{0^+,1^+\}$ heavy-light [Qq] diquarks with $Q\in\{c,b\}$ and $q\in\{u,d,s\}$. As in previous sum-rule studies, the negative parity $J^P\in\{0^-, 1^-\}$ [Qq]…
We investigate the charm quark system using the relativistic heavy quark action on 2+1 flavor PACS-CS configurations previously generated on $32^3 \times 64$ lattice. The dynamical up-down and strange quark masses are set to the physical…
Slight sophistications of the QCD sum-rule formalism may have great impact on the reliability of predicted hadron observables, as exemplified for the case of heavy-meson decay constants.
We present our preliminary result for the charmed quark mass, which follows from taking the D_s and K meson masses from experiment and r0=0.5 fm (or, equivalently F_K=160 MeV) to set the scale. For the renormalization group invariant quark…
The running charm-quark mass in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme is determined from weighted finite energy QCD sum rules (FESR) involving the vector current correlator. Only the short distance expansion of this correlator is used, together with…
In these proceedings we discuss the relation between the kinetic and the on-shell schemes for the bottom and the charm quarks and present the methods for the calculation of the mass relation to higher orders in perturbative QCD. The bottom…
