Delta I=3/2, K to Pi Pi matrix elements are calculated on 68 configurations of quenched 24^3 x 64 lattices using the DBW2 action, and domain wall fermions with L_s=16. The lattice spacing is a^(-1)=1.3 GeV, corresponding to a physical…

We report on the progress of our ongoing project to quantify the role of the charm quark in the non-leptonic decay of a kaon into two pions. The effect of its associated mass scale in the dynamics underlying the \Delta I = 1/2 rule can be…
We present a discussion of the |Delta I|=3/2 amplitudes of the hyperon decays B->B'+pi in the context of chiral perturbation theory. We evaluate the theoretical uncertainty of the lowest-order predictions by calculating the leading…
The experimental value for the isospin amplitude Re(A_2) in K->pi pi decays has been successfully explained within the Standard Model, both within large N approach to QCD and by QCD lattice calculations. On the other hand in both approaches…
In this note, we clarify a point concerning the power divergence in lattice calculations of $\Delta I = 1/2$ $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes. There have been worries that this divergence might show up in the Minkowski amplitudes at…

We study the |Delta I|=3/2 amplitudes of hyperon non-leptonic decays of the form B->B'+pi in the context of chiral perturbation theory. The lowest-order predictions are determined in terms of only one unknown parameter and are consistent…
A number of old and new methods for computing $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes on the lattice are reevaluated. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. I will show how problems related to operator mixing can be…
The chiral expansion of the $\pi\pi$ amplitude to the order of two loops was expressed in terms of six independent parameters in a previous paper: four of these are shown here to satisfy sum rules. Their derivation, where crossing symmetry…
It is shown that the low energy coefficients of the next-to-leading order (NLO) chiral perturbation theory needed to determine $\Delta I=1/2$, $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes can be fixed by calculating $K\pi\to\pi$ amplitudes on lattice.…
We propose a new method to evaluate the Lellouch-L\"uscher factor which relates the $\Delta I=3/2$ $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements computed on a finite lattice to the physical (infinite-volume) decay amplitudes. The method relies on the use of…
We calculate $\Delta I = 3/2$ kaon decay matrix elements using domain wall fermions and the DBW2 gauge action at one coarse lattice spacing corresponding to $a^{-1} = 1.3$ GeV. We employ the Lellouch and L\"uscher formula and its extention…
