QCD sum rules are based on the Operator Product Expansion of current correlators, and on QCD-hadron duality. An extension of this program to finite temperature is discussed. This allows for a study of deconfinement and chiral-symmetry…
We show that using renormalization-group summation to generate the QCD radiative corrections to the $\pi-\gamma$ transition form factor, calculated with lightcone sum rules (LCSR), renders the strong coupling free of Landau singularities…
We perform an updated analysis of $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-$ cross-section data using a dispersive representation of the pion vector form factor. We show that the available data are compatible with the assumption that the form factor is free of…
Nonlocal gluon condensates are vacuum expectations of the product of gluon field strength tensors. Short-distance expansions of two-, three-, and four-gluon condensates are presented up to dimension-8 local operators. We propose a method…
We spell out the derivation of novel features, put forward earlier in a letter, of two dimensional gravity in the strong coupling regime, at $C_L=7$, 13, 19. Within the operator approach previously developed, they neatly follow from the…
Hadronic vacuum polarization at low virtualities limits the precision of experimental tests of the standard model via important physical observables. Here we compute that effect in two-flavor chiral perturbation theory to three loops. Among…
We generalize the sum rule approach to investigate the nonperturbative structure of QCD at high temperature. Salient features of the QCD phase above $T_c$ are discussed, and included in the form of power corrections or condensate…
This talk offers a brief review of the determination of coupling constants in the framework of dimensionally reduced effective field theories for thermal QCD, specializing on its gluonic sector. Interestingly, higher-order operators that go…
Based on the recently developed light-front similarity renormalization group approach and the light-front heavy quark effective theory, we derive analytically from first-principles QCD a heavy quark light-front Hamiltonian which contains…
We reinvestigate the QCD sum rule for the pi NN coupling constant, g, starting from the vacuum-to-pion matrix element of the correlation function of the interpolating fields of two nucleons. We study in detail the physical content of the…
We check quantitatively the validity of some popular phenomenological approaches of QCD in simple models. Dispersion sum rules are considered within the ladder approximation of a field-theoretic model with OPE given by ordinary loop…
We extend previous work on sum rules for the invariant amplitudes of pion Compton scattering by deriving a complete lowest order perturbative spectral function - and its leading non perturbative power corr ections - for a specific…
We demonstrate that the QCD sum rule method can be successfully applied to the calculation of CP-odd electromagnetic observables induced by a vacuum theta--angle. We implement the approach in calculating the electric dipole moment of the…
We present a systematic study of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment within several infrared-improved AdS/QCD models. The models are constrained by the pion decay constant and the $\rho$-meson mass and are shown…
There is a need to go beyond the narrow resonance approximation for QCD sum-rule channels which are likely to exhibit sensitivity to broad resonance structures. We first discuss how the first two Laplace sum rules are altered when one goes…
In this work the determination of low-energy bound states in Quantum Chromodynamics is recast so that it is linked to a weak-coupling problem. This allows one to approach the solution with the same techniques which solve Quantum…
The spectroscopic parameters of the heavy-light hybrid mesons with different spin-parities and different quark contents are investigated in the framework of the QCD sum rule method. The mass and current coupling of these states are…
We consider a triple-quantum-dot (TQD) system composed by an interacting quantum dot connected to two effectively non-interacting dots, which in turn are both connected in parallel to metallic leads. As we show, this system can be mapped…
We investigate the transition to perturbative QCD in Compton processes, by concentrating on the specific reactions $\pi \gamma \to \pi \gamma$ and pion photoproduction at moderate energy scales. New sum rules for each of the helicities…
Based on the diquark configuration, we construct the diquark-antidiquark interpolating tetraquark currents with $J^{PC}=1^{-\pm}$ and $1^{+\pm}$, which can couple to the scalar and pseudoscalar tetraquark states respectively, since they are…
