In response to Kim's comment (nucl-th/9903040) on the sum rules for pion-baryon coupling constants obtained in hep-ph/9512259 and hep-ph/9606471, we point out that our treatment of the continuum is consistent with duality and with the fact…
This presentation starts with a brief review of our current picture of QCD phases, derived from lattice QCD thermodynamics and from models based on the symmetries and symmetry breaking patterns of QCD. Typical approaches widely used in this…
We show how such important features of QCD as chiral symmetry breaking or the formation of a mass-gap can be directly traced from QCD sum rules for two point functions assuming, in the large number of colors limit, exact duality between the…
We elaborate on a recently proposed extension of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule which is achieved by taking derivatives with respect to the anomalous magnetic moment. The new sum rule features a {\it linear} relation between the…
We generalize the sum rule approach to investigate the nonperturbative structure of QCD at high temperature. Salient features of the QCD phase above $T_c$ are discussed, and included in the form of power corrections or condensate…
Within finite-density QCD sum-rule approach we investigate the self-energies of $\Sigma$ hyperons propagating in nuclear matter from a correlator of $\Sigma$ interpolating fields evaluated in the nuclear matter ground state. We find that…
The self-energies of $\Delta$ isobar propagating in nuclear matter are calculated using the finite-density QCD sum-rule methods. The calculations show that the Lorentz vector self-energy for the $\Delta$ is significantly smaller than the…
A proper way of subtracting the continuum contributions in light-cone QCD sum rules (LCQSR) is demonstrated. Specifically, we calculate the continuum corresponding to a typical OPE appearing in LCQSR by properly combining the double…
The goal of this thesis is to calculate properties of D-Mesons with QCD-Sum-Rules in order to understand the nature of D-Mesons with positive parity. The result is that such D-Mesons most probably are Mesons with a four quark rather than a…
This review article discusses the experimental and theoretical status of various Parton Model sum rules. The basis of the sum rules in perturbative QCD is discussed. Their use in extracting the value of the strong coupling constant is…
We present an extension of the QCD sum rule method in the external fields so as to determine the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant g_P, which tests the validity of the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) hypothesis. This is…
The calculations of masses and decay constants of the radial excitations of light pseudoscalar and scalar mesons within QCD sum rules method are briefly reviewed. The predictions are based on the $1/N_c$-supported model spectra, which…
The heavy-quark QCD sum rules are applied to a model of charmonium based upon the gauge/gravity duality. We find that there is strong agreement between the moments of the polarization function calculated from the holographic model and the…
We propose a method to use lattice QCD to compute the Borel transform of the vacuum polarization function appearing in the Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov QCD sum rule. We construct the spectral sum corresponding to the Borel transform from…
QCD sum-rules are related to an integral of a hadronic spectral function, and hence must satisfy integral inequalities which follow from positivity of the spectral function. Development of these Holder inequalities and their application to…
In the context of QCD sum rules with non-local condensates we present a pion distribution amplitude, which is double-humped with its end-points x\to(0,1) strongly suppressed, and show that it matches the CLEO experimental data on the…
The QCD sum rule calculation of the in-medium pion decay constants using pseudoscalar-axial vector correlation function, $i \int d^4x e^{ip\cdot x} < \rho| T[{\bar d}(x) i \gamma_5 u (x) {\bar u}(0) \gamma_\mu \gamma_5 d (0)] | \rho>$ is…
Gaussian sum-rules relate a QCD prediction to a two-parameter Gaussian-weighted integral of a hadronic spectral function, providing a clear conceptual connection to quark-hadron duality. In contrast to Laplace sum-rules, the Gaussian…
We illustrate the general scheme of the Sum Rule (SR) method using 2D Quantum Harmonic Oscillator (2DQHO) as a toy model. We introduce correlator, related to Green function of 2DQHO, and describe the property of Asymptotic Freedom for…
We present a QCD sum-rule determination of the heavy-quark kinetic energy inside a heavy meson, $-\lambda_1/2 m_Q$, which is consistent with the field-theory analog of the virial theorem. We obtain $-\lambda_1\approx (0.10\pm…
