We report on recent advances on the computation of the matrix elements of the electroweak penguins Q_7 and Q_8 which are relevant for the Delta I=3/2 contribution to epsilon'_K in the chiral limit. The matching of scale and scheme…

We present the calculation of $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements of electroweak penguin operators {\it i.e.} $Q_7$ and $Q_8$. In the numerical simulation, we use the gauge configurations generated by the combination of $N_f=2$ domain-wall…

It is shown that the K -> pi pi matrix elements of the four-quark operator Q_7, generated by the electroweak penguin-like diagrams of the Standard Model, can be calculated to first non-trivial order in the chiral expansion and in the 1/Nc…

I describe recent work with V. Cirigliano and E. Golowich on the effect of dimension eight operators on weak nonleptonic amplitudes. The basic message is that there is an inconsistency in the way that many calculations are traditionally…

We point out that chiral transformation properties of penguin operators change in the transition from unquenched to (partially) quenched QCD. The way in which this affects the lattice determination of weak matrix elements can be understood…

I review some progress made on the problem of calculating electroweak processes of mesons at low energy with the use of an approximation to large-Nc QCD which we call the Minimal Hadronic Approximation. An update of results for the matrix…

We present recent progress in understanding weak matrix elements on the lattice. We use HYP staggered fermions in quenched QCD to study numerically various properties of the $K^+\to\pi^+$ amplitudes of the electroweak penguin operators…

Most past work on weak nonleptonic decays has mixed dimensional regularization in the weak operator product expansion with some form of a cutoff regularization in the evaluation of the matrix elements. Even with the usual technique of…

We discuss the renormalization of local, scalar and pseudoscalar dimension-5 operators containing a heavy and a light quark field at scales below the heavy-quark mass, using the formalism of the heavy-quark effective theory (HQET). We…

We give the complete $O(p^2)$ bosonization of the electroweak Penguin operators $Q_{7,8}$ and compare the result with that of the gluon Penguin operators $Q_{5,6}$. We find that, in addition to the usual (constant and current-current)…

We report on dispersive and finite energy sum rule analyses of the electroweak penguin matrix elements < (pi pi) | Q_{7,8} | K > in the chiral limit. We accomplish the correct perturbative matching (scale and scheme dependence) at NLO in…

We present a sketchy review of renormalon-based phenomenology. In particular, the leading, 1/Q corrections to various observables, KLN cancellations for power-suppressed corrections and the fixation of operator matrix elements are…

The correlation function of a $V-A$ current with a $V+A$ current is discussed within the framework of QCD in the limit of a large number of colours $N_c$. Applications to the evaluation of chiral condensates of dimension six and higher, as…

In the calculation of non-leptonic weak decay rates, a "mismatch" arises when the QCD evolution of the relevant weak hamiltonian down to hadronic scales is performed in unquenched QCD, but the hadronic matrix elements are then computed in…

We reconsider the dispersive evaluation of the weak matrix elements <2pi_{I=2}|Q_{7,8}|K0> in the chiral limit. The perturbative matching is accomplished fully within the scheme dependence used in the two loop weak OPE calculations. The…

We extend in several respects our earlier work on O(p^2) corrections to matrix elements of the electroweak penguin operator O_{ewp}. First, to facilitate comparison with certain lattice studies we calculate O(p^2) corrections to…

We analyze the renormalon ambiguities that appear in factorization formulas in QCD. Our analysis contains a simple argument that the ambiguities in the short-distance coefficients and operator matrix elements are artifacts of…

The one-loop corrections to K->pi and K->2pi matrix elements of the electroweak penguin operator are calculated. General next-to-leading order relations between the K->pi and K->2pi amplitudes are obtained. The fractional shift Delta_2 =…

Quenching effects in strong penguin matrix elements are investigated. A lattice determination of $\alpha_q^{NS}$, the constant that appears in the quenched ChPT relevant for the lattice analysis of $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements, shows that…

We derive and solve the renormalisation-group (RG) equation of the shape function $g_{17}(\omega,\omega_1;\mu)$, which appears at subleading power in the factorization of the inclusive decays $\bar{B} \to X_s \gamma$ and $\bar B \to X_s…
