A critical review of hadronic tau decay data based determinations of |V_{us}| is given, focussing on the impact of the slow convergence of the integrated D=2 OPE series for the conventional flavor-breaking sum rule determination and the…
We continue our endeavor to investigate lepton number violating (LNV) processes at low energy in the framework of effective field theory (EFT). In this work we study the LNV tau decays $\tau^+\rightarrow \ell^-P_i^{+}P_j^{+}$, where…
The up and down quark masses are determined from an optimized QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) involving the correlator of axial-vector divergences, to five loop order in Perturbative QCD (PQCD), and including leading non-perturbative QCD…
A new technique based on H\"older's integral inequality is applied to QCD sum-rules to provide fundamental constraints on the sum-rule parameters. These constraints must be satisfied if the sum-rules are to consistently describe integrated…
While quark-hadron duality is well-established experimentally, the current theoretical understanding of this important phenomenon is quite limited. To expose the essential features of the dynamics behind duality, we use a simple model in…
The hadronic tau decay $\tau^- \to \nu_\tau \eta \pi^- \pi^0$ occurs through V-A weak current. In this decay mode, the vector current contribution is intrinsic parity violating and the axial current contribution is G parity violating. The…
A novel procedure for extracting hadron characteristics from QCD sum rules, based on effective continuum thresholds (necessary for the implementation of quark-hadron duality) which may depend on the involved momenta and on the Borel…
We develop a number of sum rules comparing spectral integrals involving judiciously chosen weights to integrals over the corresponding Euclidean two-point function. The applications we have in mind are to the hadronic vacuum polarization…
Several different analysis methods have been developed to determine the strong coupling via finite-energy sum-rule analyses of hadronic $\tau$ decay data. While most methods agree on the existence of the well-known ambiguity in the choice…
The evaluation, systematic analysis and numerical study of the semileptonic $\tau$-lepton decays with two mesons in the final state has been made in the frame of the standard model extended by right handed neutrinos. In the analysis,…
Being a determination at low energies, the analysis of hadronic tau decay data provides a rather precise determination of the strong coupling alpha_s after evolving the result to M_Z. At such a level of precision, even small…
We analyze QCD and Weinberg-type sum rules in a low-temperature pion gas using vector and axial-vector spectral functions following from the model-independent chiral-mixing scheme. Toward this end we employ recently constructed vacuum…
The origin of quark-hadron Duality Violations (DVs) can be related to the sigularities of the Laplace transform of the spectral function. With the help of rather generic properties of the large-$N_c$ approximation and a generalized form for…
We present a determination of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) coupling using the V+A channel ALEPH $\tau$-decay data. The determination involves the double-pinched Borel-Laplace Sum Rules and Finite Energy Sum Rules. The theoretical basis is…
We propose a definition for a Tau function and a spinor kernel (closely related to Baker-Akhiezer functions), where times parametrize slow (of order 1/N) deformations of an algebraic plane curve. This definition consists of a formal…
It is argued that it is valid to use QCD sum rules to determine the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at zero momentum, which in turn determine the ratio of the strange to non-strange quark condensates $R_{su} = \frac{<\bar{s}…
We present an analysis of four sum rules, each based on chiral symmetry and containing the difference $\rho_{\rm V}(s) - \rho_{\rm A}(s)$ of isovector vector and axialvector spectral functions. Experimental data from tau lepton decay and…
Hadronic matrix elements of local four-quark operators play a central role in non-leptonic kaon decays, while vacuum matrix elements involving the same kind of operators appear in inclusive dispersion relations, such as those relevant in…
We describe how complications encountered in the extraction of V_us from flavor-breaking hadronic tau decay sum rules, in particular those associated with the slower than previously anticipated convergence of the relevant D=2 OPE series,…
Quark-hadron duality is a key concept in QCD, allowing for the description of physical hadronic observables in terms of quark-gluon degrees of freedom. The modern theoretical framework for its implementation is Wilson's operator product…
