The exact form of the form-factor associated with a meson-photon-photon vertex is not known. Different suggestions exist, based on constraints from QCD and on recent experiments. Four different form-factors are studied in this article. We…

We derive expressions for strangeness-changing scalar form factors, which incorporate known theoretical constraints both at low and high energies. Their leading behaviour in the limit of a large number of colours is calculated from the…
We investigate the properties of the amplitude induced by the anomaly. In a relatively high energy region those amplitudes are constructed by the vector meson poles and the anomaly terms, in which the anomaly terms can be essentially…

We analyse various $U(1)_{EM}$ form factors of mesons at strong coupling in an $\mathcal{N}=2$ flavored version of $\mathcal{N}=4$ $SYM$ which becomes conformal in the UV. The quark mass breaks the conformal symmetry in the IR and generates…

We study the influence of non-valence quark-pair contributions in weak transition form factors of heavy-light mesons. Form factors are first calculated for spacelike momentum transfers in a reference frame where such contributions are…
The chiral quark model describes the strangeness components of the light quarks as fluctuations into strange mesons and quarks. The single strange pseudoscalar and vector meson loop fluctuations of the constituent $u$- and $d$-quarks give…
Within the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach to modeling QCD for meson physics, we present new results for $g_{\rho\pi\pi}$ and the coupling constants and form factors for the transitions $\gamma^\ast \pi \rho$ and $\gamma^\ast \pi^0…
We study the effects of anomalous thresholds on the non-local form factors describing the hadronization of the light-quark contribution to $B\to(P,V)\gamma^*$ transitions. Starting from a comprehensive discussion of anomalous thresholds in…
We investigate the role of correlated $\pi\rho$ exchange in the extraction of matrix elements of the strange vector current in the proton. We show that a realistic isoscalar spectral function including this effect leads to sizeably reduced…
We discuss the calculation of disconnected diagrams needed for determining the strange quark content of the nucleon on the lattice. We present results for the strange scalar form factor and the related parameter f_Ts, which enters into the…
We calculate the $B\to\pi,\rho$ transition form factors in the framework of perturbative QCD to leading power of $1/M_B$, $M_B$ being the $B$ meson mass. We explain the basic principle by discussing the pion electromagnetic form factor. It…
To know and understand form factors of hadronic currents is of decisive importance for analysing exclusive weak decays. The ratios of different form factors of a given process depend on the relativistic spin structure of initial and final…
The nature of QCD phase transition is studied with massless up and down quarks and a light strange quark, using the Wilson formalism for quarks on a lattice with the temporal direction extension $N_t=4$. We find that the phase transition is…
