We show that at certain values of QCD condensates the nucleon QCD sum rules with "pole+continuum" model for the hadron spectrum obtain an unphysical solution. This provides constrains for the values of condensates to be consistent with…

The strange quark mass has been computed using a lattice action which possesses continuum--like chiral symmetry to good precision, namely the domain wall fermion action. This talk surveys this action and the recent calculation of m_s by the…
I discuss the zero temperature phase diagram of QCD, as a function of baryon density and strange quark mass. The noteworthy points are that at sufficiently high density chiral symmetry is always restored, and at low strange quark mass there…
