We calculate the next-to-leading order contribution to the masses of the heavy baryons in the bound state approach for baryons containing a heavy quark. These $1/N_C$ corrections arise when states of good spin and isospin are generated from…

By bosonization of an extended NJL model we derive an effective meson theory which describes the interplay between chiral symmetry and heavy quark dynamics. This effective theory is worked out in the low-energy regime using the gradient…
In this work we continue our effort to explore a recent proposal, which allows light-cone distributions to be extracted from purely spatial correlations, being thus accessible to lattice methods. In order to test the feasibility of this…

Two-dimensional SU($N$) gauge theory is accurately analyzed with the light-front Tamm-Dancoff approximation, both numerically and analytically. The light-front Einstein-Schr\"odinger equation for mesonic mass reduces to the 't Hooft…
We present a method for determining a purely quark Lagrangian by mocking up the QCD partition function for large gauge couplings $g$. The resulting effective theory displays all the symmetries of low energy QCD and can be potentially used…

The effective action with homogeneous valence (off-diagonal) gluons as background fields in the extended SU(2) model of QCD is obtained in one-loop approximation. We keep the manifest gauge and Lorentz invariance during whole calculation by…
The recent discovery of the B_c meson by the CDF collaboration and proposed new experiments at Fermilab and CERN motivate new theoretical studies of the B_c system. Here we investigate the radiative leptonic decay B_c -> gamma l nu. This…
The effective Lagrangian and power counting rules for non-relativistic gauge theories are derived via an expansion in $1/c$. It is shown that the $1/c$ expansion leads to an effective field theory which incorporates a multipole expansion.…
One leading source of uncertainty in the lattice computation of semi-leptonic form factors in B decay, and to a lesser extent B meson decay constants, comes from the extrapolation of the light quark mass to the physical up/down mass. This…
We introduce a Lagrangian-space Effective Field Theory (LEFT) formalism for the study of cosmological large scale structures. Unlike the previous Eulerian-space construction, it is naturally formulated as an effective field theory of…
