By applying chiral-perturbation-theory methods to the QCD sector of the Lorentz-violating Standard-Model Extension, we investigate Lorentz violation in the strong interactions. In particular, we consider the CPT-even pure-gluon operator of…

Lattice matrix elements are briefly reviewed. In the quenched approximation $f_B$, $B_B$ and $B_K$ are now under good control. Experimental hints for $f^{\rm expt}_{D_S}> f^{\rm QQCD}_{D_S}$ are noted; precise determination of $f_{D_S}$…

The quenched approximation for QCD is, at present and in the foreseeable future, unavoidable in lattice calculations with realistic choices of the lattice spacing, volume and quark masses. In these lectures, I review the analytic study of…

We show that it is possible to construct $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$ to NLO using partially quenched chiral perturbation theory (PQChPT) from amplitudes that are computable on the lattice. We demonstrate that none of the needed amplitudes…

We calculate the leading divergences at NNLO for the octet part of the nonleptonic weak sector of chiral perturbation theory, using renormalization group methods. The role of counterterms which vanish at the equation of motion and their use…

We construct an effective action for QCD by expanding the quark determinant in powers of the chemical potential at finite temperature in the case of massless quarks. To cut the infinite series we adopt the Weinberg power counting criteria.…

We investigate the $\Delta S=0$ effective chiral Lagrangian from the instanton vacuum. Based on the $\Delta S=0$ effective weak Hamiltonian from the operator product expansion and renormalization group equations, we derive the…

This review contains an overview of strong interaction effects in weak decays starting with a historical introduction. It contains a short overview of semileptonic decays and their relevance for measuring CKM matrix elements. The main part…

The s-wave meson-baryon interaction is studied using the lowest-order chiral Lagrangian in a unitary coupled-channels Bethe-Salpeter equation. In the strangeness $S=-1$ sector the low-energy $K^- p$ dynamics leads to the dynamical…

We calculate one-loop correction to the axial charges of the octet baryons using quenched chiral perturbation theory, in order to understand chiral behavior of the axial charges in quenched approximation to quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In…

We modify a chiral effective lagrangian recently suggested to describe interactions of the light pseudoscalars with mesons containing a heavy quark, so as to incorporate light vector resonances, such as $\rho$, etc. The modification uses…

Using quenched chiral perturbation theory, we compute the long-distance behaviour of two-point functions of flavour non-singlet axial and vector currents in a finite volume, for small quark masses, and at a fixed gauge-field topology. We…

I summarize the status of the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule in $K\to\pi\pi$ decays within an {\it analytic} approach based on the dual representation of QCD as a theory of weakly interacting mesons for large $N$, where $N$ is the number of colours.…

Chiral logarithms in $m_\pi^2$ are calculated at one loop, taking into account the leading contributions to flavor symmetry breaking due to staggered fermions. I treat both the full QCD case (2+1 light dynamical flavors) and the quenched…

The chiral limit of finite-volume QCD is the $\epsilon$-regime of the theory. We discuss how this regime can be used for determining low-energy observables of QCD by means of comparisons between lattice simulations and quenched and…

We have been studying effects of dynamical quarks on various hadronic observables, using our recently formulated improvement for staggered fermions. To illustrate improvement, we show that the light hadron spectrum in the quenched…

We use a random matrix model to study chiral symmetry breaking in QCD at finite chemical potential $\mu$. We solve the model and compute the eigenvalue density of the Dirac matrix on a complex plane. A naive ``replica trick'' fails for…

We study the renormalization of the DeltaS=1 effective weak Hamiltonian with overlap fermions. The mixing coefficients among dimension-six operators are computed at one loop in perturbation theory. As a consequence of the chiral symmetry at…

Using the Schr\"odinger functional we have computed a variety of renormalized on-shell correlation functions to one-loop order of perturbation theory. By studying their approach to the continuum limit we have determined the O($a$)…

Interactions of $a_2, K^*_2, f_2$ and $f_2'$ tensor-mesons with low-energy $\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$ pseudo-scalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a chiral Lagrangian of tensor mesons in which the tensor mesons are treated…
