Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) studies show that the b-quark mass-function is approximately constant, and that this is true to a lesser extent for the c-quark. These observations provide the basis for a study of the leptonic and…

The experimental decay branching ratios of mesons like $B_s\to \ell\bar \ell$ and $B_d\to \ell\bar \ell$ ($\ell=e$ or $\mu$) do not agree completely with the standard model (SM). Cartan's supersymmetry predicts relation of the coupling of…
Heavy-quark spin symmetry is explicitly broken by the mass splitting between a heavy-light pseudoscalar meson and its vector partner. This fact plays a pivotal role in the physics of states whose mass lies close to the threshold of an…

A model for SU(n) string breaking on the lattice is formulated using strong coupling ideas. Although necessarily rather crude, the model gives an explicit picture of string breaking in the presence of dynamical quarks as a mixing phenomenon…
