We briefly review the status of various conventional quark-antiquark mesons below 2 GeV and outline some open questions: the status of the strange-antistrange orbitally excited vector meson, the status of the nonet of axial-tensor mesons…
We develop Chiral Perturbation Theory for chirally broken theories with fermions in two different representations of the gauge group. Any such theory has a non-anomalous singlet $U(1)_A$ symmetry, yielding an additional Nambu-Goldstone…

We consider an ${\cal N}=1$ nonrenormalizable supersymmetric gauge theory with the superpotential quartic in the chiral matter superfields. With the help of the Slavnov's higher covariant derivative regularization it is demonstrated that…
We have studied a massive U(1) gauge holographic model with pure gauge and mixed gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons terms. The full backreaction of the gauge field on the metric tensor has been considered in order to explore the vortical and…
We derive constraints on combinations of O(p^6) chiral coupling constants by matching a recent two-loop calculation of the pi-K scattering amplitude with a set of sum rules. We examine the validity of the natural expectation that the values…
We study the large $N$ limit of $O(N)$ scalar field theory with classically marginal $\phi^6$ interaction in three dimensions in the presence of a planar boundary. This theory has an approximate conformal invariance at large $N$. We find…
Renormalization constants of vector ($Z_V$) and axial-vector ($Z_A$) currents are determined non-perturbatively in quenched QCD for an RG-improved gauge action and a tadpole-improved clover quark action using the Schr\"odinger functional…
The process $K_{\ell3}$ is calculated to two-loop order ($p^6$) in Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) in the isospin conserved case. We present expressions suitable for use with previous work in two-loop CHPT where the order $p^4$ parameters…
We generalise the reconstruction theorem of Stern, Sazdjian, and Fuchs based on the dispersion relations to the case of the (2 -> 2) scattering of all the pseudoscalar octet mesons (pi, K, eta). We formulate it in a general way and include…
We compute the virtual O(\alpha_s^3 n_f^2) corrections to the heavy quark vector current correlator in terms of expansions in the external momentum and as an exact numerical solution. As a byproduct, the available high-energy expansion at…
In our previous work \cite{Feng:2013pba}, we have shown a curvaton model where the curvaton has a nonminimal derivative coupling to gravity. Such a coupling could bring us scale-invariance of the perturbations for wide range constant values…
We consider a family of $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories in four dimensions, defined as $\mathbb{Z}_q$ orbifolds of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory. We compute the chiral/anti-chiral correlation functions at a…
We extend our approach based on the second order perturbation theory in the Coulomb interaction recently developed for quantum dots coupled to superconducting leads to the superconducting double quantum dot setups. Using our perturbative…
In the first part of the talk, I review what we know (or rather do not know) about the structure of the QCD vacuum in the presence of strange quarks. Chiral perturbation theory allows to study reactions of pions and kaons and to further…
The analytic continuation needed for the extraction of transport coefficients necessitates in principle a continuous function of the Euclidean time variable. We report on progress towards achieving the continuum limit for 2-point correlator…
The neutral Kaon decays Ks->gamma gamma and Kl->pi0 gamma gamma are very sensitive to higher order loop effects of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). New measurements of the NA48 experiment show that ChPT contributions of O(p^6) cannot be…
