We present an overview of a novel approach to the QCD Light-Cone Sum Rule method, employing $B$-meson Light-Cone Distribution Amplitudes. This method circumvents the semi-global quark-hadron duality (QHD) approximation, which can introduce…
The structure function of a heavy quark in a heavy hadron in electroproduction is calculated from QCD. Its deviation from the parton model prediction (a delta function) is shown to be governed by a shape function, similar to the one…
This talk reviews recent lattice QCD calculations relevant for quark flavor physics. Since lattice results must be accurate and precise to play a definitive role in phenomenology, the focus is on unquenched results of quantities which can…
We use the transfer matrix formalism to derive non-perturbative sum rules in Wilson's lattice QCD with N_f flavours of quarks. The discretization errors on these identities are treated in detail. As an application, it is shown how the sum…
I review recent new lattice QCD results on a few selected topics which are relevant to the heavy ion physics community. Special emphasis is put on the QCD phase diagram towards the chiral limit and at nonzero baryon density as well as the…
We investigate the role of heavy quarks in the production of light flavored hadrons and in the determination of the corresponding non perturbative hadronization probabilities. We define a general mass variable flavor number scheme for…
The chiral and heavy quark symmetries of QCD are reviewed. These symmetries are used to predict some low-momentum properties of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. (Lectures given at the CCAST Symposium on Particle Physics at the Fermi…
We set up sum rules for heavy lambda decays in a full QCD calculation which in the heavy quark mass limit incorporates the symmetries of heavy quark effective theory. For the semileptonic $\La_c$ decay we obtain a reasonable agreement with…
Revisiting the strong couplings of three mesons, each of which involves at least one charm quark, proves clear disaccord between quark-model and QCD sum-rule results.
Some recent discoveries in the spectroscopy of hadrons containing heavy quarks, and some of their theoretical interpretations, are reviewed.
QCD sum rules serve as tools to investigate changing hadronic properties in a hot and/or dense nuclear medium. The role of chiral symmetry breaking and restoration effects in a medium can be addressed also in the heavy-light meson sector.…
I discuss aspects of the QCD sum rule method which attracted theorists' attention in earnest at a relatively late stage and are not yet fully solved. At first I briefly review such general topics as the structure of the operator product…
We calculate the coupling constants between the light vector mesons and heavy baryons within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rule in the leading order of heavy quark effective theory. Most resulting sum rules are stable with the…
We apply the QCD sum rule method to systematically study excited light meson operators and calculate their decay constants. These operators are constructed by explicitly adding one covariant derivative to the quark-antiquark pair. In total,…
This article reviews lattice QCD results for the light hadron spectrum. We give an overview of different formulations of lattice QCD, with discussions on the fermion doubling problem and improvement programs. We summarize recent…
We derive QCD sum rules for heavy baryons at leading order in $1/m_Q$ and at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. The calculation involves the evaluation of four different perturbative three-loop diagrams which determine the…
A sum rule relating the widths of the decays of mesons belonging to heavy quark multiplets, having the same parity and light quark spin j, into the low lying $0^-$ and $1^-$ multiplet is obtained. As this sum rule follows from properties of…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a firmly established part of the Standard Model, yet its long distance properties remain challenging at a conceptual level. In recent years significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made…

Heavy quarks provide a new dimension to QCD, allowing tests of fundamental theory, the nature of color confinement, and the production of new exotic multiquark states. I also discuss novel explanations for several apparently anomalous…
