We calculate the leading-twist O(alphas^2 beta0) corrections to the B to pi transition form factor f+(0) in light-cone sum rules. We find that, as expected, there is a cancellation between the O(alphas^2 beta0) corrections to fB f+(0) and…
The mass of the bottom quark (both the pole mass $M_b$ and the $\MSb$ mass $m_b$) and the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ have been determined from QCD moment sum rules for the $\Upsilon$ system. In the pole-mass scheme large…
We consider three-flavor QCD and perform a determination of the low-energy coupling $\hat{g}_\chi$ of SU(2) Heavy Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory. It is the $B^*B\pi$ coupling in the limit of static heavy and chiral light quarks and has…
We show that in the context of QCD sum rules a strong (anti-) correlation between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson's decay constant $f_B$ emerges: $\delta f_B/f_B\approx -8 \delta m_b/m_b.$ This observation allows us to derive a…
We demonstrate that Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents entail a very strong correlation between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson decay constant $f_B,$ that is, $\delta f_B/f_B\approx-8\delta m_b/m_b.$ By starting from…
We investigate the $\omega\sigma\gamma$-vertex and estimate the coupling constant g$_{\omega\sigma\gamma}$ in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. We compare our result with the values of this coupling constant deduced from a…
Testing the BMN correspondence at non-zero string coupling g_s requires a one-loop string field theory calculation. At order g_s^2, matrix elements of the light-cone string field theory Hamiltonian between single-string states receive two…
We improve our previous QCD sum rule calculation on G(KN\Lambda) and G(KN\Sigma) coupling constants by including the contributions from higher dimensional condensates, <\bar{q} g_s \sigma \cdot G q> and <\bar{q}q> <(\alpha_s /\pi) G^2>, in…
The theoretical evaluation of the coupling constants gpiNN , gKNLambda and gKNSigma is undertaken using QCD sum rules. These quantities were previously calculated with exponential (Borel) kernels used to suppress the unknown contributions…
We investigate the occurrence of power terms in the running QCD coupling by analysing non-perturbative measurements of alpha_s (p) at low momenta obtained from the lattice three-gluon vertex. Our exploratory study provides some evidence for…
The strong coupling constants among members of the heavy spin--3/2 baryons containing single heavy quark with light pseudoscalar mesons are calculated in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. Using symmetry arguments, the structure…
In this talk I consider QCD sum rules for the ground state heavy baryons to leading order in $1/m_Q$ and at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_S$ within the context of Heavy Quark Symmetry. The analysis is done at a fixed scale $\mu=1 GeV$.…
We revisit QCD sum rules for the decay constants of heavy-light mesons. In the sum rules for the vector mesons B^*_(s) and D^*_(s) we improve the accuracy of OPE, taking into account the O(alpha_s^2) terms in the perturbative part and…
We compute perturbative corrections to $B \to \pi$ form factors from QCD light-cone sum rules with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes. Applying the method of regions we demonstrate factorization of the vacuum-to-$B$-meson correlation…
Using chiral Ward identities of QCD, we derive a relation for the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant which is accurate within a few percent, $g_P = 8.44 \pm 0.16$.
We use operator product expansion and QCD light-cone sum rules to estimate the amplitude of the decay $B \to J/\psi K $ taking into account leading nonfactorizable contributions. The result is very similar to the estimate obtained earlier…
All transitions among the heavy spin--3/2 sextet baryons with participation of the light vector mesons $(B_Q^* B_Q V)$ are investigated in the framework of the light cone sum rules. These vertices are described by four coupling constants.…
We consider the problem of factorization in B decays and illustrate the calculation of nonfactorizable contributions employing the QCD light-cone sum rule method. We present a more detailed calculation of the ``charming penguin''…
Uncertainty in the PQCD calculation of B decays is investigated in $B\to \pi$, $B\to D$ transition form factors and $B\to D\pi$ decay amplitudes. $B$ meson distributionamplitude dependence is studied by taking three kinds of distribution…
In this article, we study the $B \to K^*_2(1430)$, $a_2(1320)$, $f_2(1270)$ form-factors with the light-cone QCD sum rules, where the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are used. In calculations, we observe that the line-shapes of…
