Hadronic form factors fulfill dispersion relations and superconvergence sum rules for their spectral density as genuine imprints of QCD. We show several instances where these conditions are flagrantly violated due to the lack of information…
The calculation method of the hadron interaction vertex with constant external fields in QCD sum rules is discussed. The representation of the polarization operator in terms of physical states contributions is considered and the most…
A model which combines the perturbative behavior of QCD with low energy phenomenology in a unified framework is developed. This is achieved by applying a similarity transformation to the QCD Hamiltonian which removes interactions between…
We point out that naive pentaquark correlations function include two-hadron-reducible contributions, which are given by convolution of baryon and meson correlation functions and have nothing to do with pentaquark. We show that the…
In response to Kim's comment (nucl-th/9903040) on the sum rules for pion-baryon coupling constants obtained in hep-ph/9512259 and hep-ph/9606471, we point out that our treatment of the continuum is consistent with duality and with the fact…
The \pi NN^* and \eta NN^* coupling constants are studied based on the two point functions between the vacuum and a one meson state in the soft meson limit. In terms of a suitably constructed interpolating field for the nucleon and…
Several topics in hadron physics at different scales of resolution are discussed. First, deep-inelastic scattering from nucleons and nuclei is viewed in a light-cone coordinate space picture. Then the smooth transition from parton to hadron…
The space-time evolution of the hot and dense fireball of quarks and gluons produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at non-zero baryonic chemical potential and temperature has been studied by using relativistic viscous causal…
It has been shown, in the case of meson photoproduction, that the power-law falloff of these reactions can be described by lowest order (real) sum rules, at moderate momentum transfer. The phases of these processes, in this regime, are…
The accuracy of the vacuum saturation hypothesis is discussed using the examples of vacuum expectation values of four-quark operators and the parameter $B$, which determines the short-distance contribution to the $K^0 - \bar K^0$ mixing.…
It is argued that it is valid to use QCD sum rules to determine the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at zero momentum, which in turn determine the ratio of the strange to non-strange quark condensates $R_{su} = \frac{<\bar{s}…
The $ND\Lambda_c$ and $ND^*\Lambda_c$ form factors are evaluated in a full QCD sum rule calculation. We study the double Borel sum rule for the three point function of one meson one nucleon and one $\Lambda_c$ current up to order six in the…
Lattice QCD already offers the possibility of extracting three-hadron scattering quantities from first principles. In the last few years, significant progress has been achieved in developing and applying the finite-volume three-body…
The issue is the expediency of the QCD notions use in the low energy region down to the confinement scale, and, in particular, the efficacy of the QCD invariant coupling \bar{\alpha}_s(Q^2) with a minimal analytic modification in this…
Hadronic vacuum polarization is a key observable in low-energy QCD, and is famously the greatest contributor to the theoretical uncertainty in the muon magnetic moment. Its long-distance part in particular is a weak point of the current…
QCD finite energy sum rules, together with the latest updated ALEPH data on hadronic decays of the tau-lepton are used in order to determine the vacuum condensates of dimension $d=2$ and $d=4$. These data are also used to check the validity…

The variational method and the Hamiltonian formalism of QCD are used to derive relativistic, momentum space integral equations for a quark-antiquark system with an arbitrary number of gluons present. As a first step, the resulting infinite…
The contribution of the hadronic continuum in the QCD sum rule calculation of the parameters entering in pseudoscalar meson mixing is evaluated by making use of simple integration kernels tailored in order to practically eliminate the…
We compare two approaches to the description of pion Compton scattering at moderate momentum transfer, one being based on local duality QCD sum rules for the invariant amplitudes of the process, which have been derived recently, and the…
