We review some recent theoretical results on radiative rare kaon decays. Particular attention is devoted to the channels $K\to \pi l\bar{% l}$ and $K\to \pi \pi \gamma$, where we are (or might be) able to extract the short distance…
A new analysis of hyperon semi-leptonic decay data is presented, based on simple and general arguments for an SU(3)-breaking structure of the couplings involved. The results obtained are compatible with those of earlier investigations and…
The CKM matrix element $|V_{us}|$ can be extracted from the experimental measurement of semileptonic $K\to\pi$ decays. The determination depends on theory input for the corresponding vector form factor in QCD. We present a preliminary…
I shortly review the present status of the theoretical calculations of epsilon'/epsilon and the comparison with the present experimental results. I discuss the role of higher order chiral corrections and in general of non-factorizable…
I discuss the properties of pions in ``partially quenched'' theories, i.e. those in which the valence and sea quark masses, $m_V$ and $m_S$, are different. I point out that for lattice fermions which retain some chiral symmetry on the…
A recently proposed approach to compute the inclusive semi-leptonic decay rate on the lattice allows for the calculation of various quantities (differential distributions and moments) in different subchannels. We systematically compare the…
We perform a detailed, fully-correlated study of the chiral behavior of the pion mass and decay constant, based on 2+1 flavor lattice QCD simulations. These calculations are implemented using tree-level, O(a)-improved Wilson fermions, at…
A recent proposal by Kaplan for a chiral gauge theory on the lattice is tested with background gauge fields. The spectrum of the finite lattice Hamiltonian is calculated and the existence of a chiral fermion is demonstrated. Lattice…
Leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays represent till now the golden modes for the extraction of the Cabibbo angle from experiments, provided the relevant hadronic quantities, namely the ratio of the kaon and pion leptonic decay constants,…
The decreasing uncertainties in theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of several hadronic observables related to weak processes, which in many cases are now smaller than $\mathrm{O}(1\%)$, require theoretical calculations to…
A brief update is given on recent developments in the theory of exclusive semileptonic charm decays. A check on analyticity arguments from the kaon system is reviewed. Recent results on form factor shape measurements are discussed.
The current status of lattice calculation of weak matrix elements for heavy quark systems is reviewed. After an assessment of systematic errors in present simulations, results for the B meson decay constant, the B-parameter B_B and…
I review the ongoing attempts to define chiral gauge theories using the lattice regularization.
The current status of lattice and dispersive bound calculations for exclusive semileptonic B decays is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on decays relevant for the measurement of the sides of the unitarity triangle determined by |V_{ub}| and…
This talk is an overview of Chiral Perturbation Theory for Kaon physics as far as not covered by other speakers. It includes a short introduction to the strengths and weaknesses of Chiral Perturbation Theory and its applications to…
We review a novel model-independent approach to the analysis of new-physics effects in the $s\to u\ell^-\bar\nu$ transitions. We apply it to (semi)leptonic kaon decays and study their complementarity with pion and hyperon $\beta$ decays or…
The \tau \to (a_1 h)^- \nu_{\tau} decays of the \tau-lepton are studied using the method of phenomenological chiral Lagrangians. The expression of weak hadronic currents between pseudoscalar and axial-vector meson states is obtained.…
A class of previously unknown strong-interaction corrections is found to enhance the rate of non-leptonic decays of the b quark by 5-8 percent. This effect decreases the predicted fraction of semi-leptonic decays and brings it into fair…
A theory of lepton decay constants based on the path-integral formalism is given for chiral and vector mesons. Decay constants of the pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated and compared to other existing results.
Some important aspects of hadronic tau decays are reviewed: the determination of alpha_s from the inclusive tau hadronic width, the measurement of |V_{us}| through the Cabibbo-suppressed decays of the tau, and the theoretical description of…
