We study the scaling with the number of colors $N_c$ of the weak amplitudes mediating kaon mixing and decay, in the limit of light charm masses ($m_u=m_d=m_s=m_c$). The amplitudes are extracted directly on the lattice for $N_c = 3-7$ (with…

We study the scaling with the number of colours, $N_c$, of the weak amplitudes mediating kaon mixing and decay. We evaluate the amplitudes of the two relevant current-current operators on the lattice for $N_c=3-7$. We conclude that the…

The simple analytic structure of meson scattering amplitudes in the large-$N_c$ limit, combined with positivity of the spectral density, provides precise predictions on low-energy observables. Building upon previous studies, we explore the…

We report on some recent progress made in understanding weak matrix elements of mesons in the context of the next-to-leading order of the large-Nc approximation to QCD. Specifically, we first use the example of the weak contributions to the…

We estimate nonfactorizable 1/$N_c$ contributions in the $K\rightarrow 2\pi$ amplitudes using the approach proposed in our previous work. It is demonstrated that for the conventional (nonpenguin) operators these contributions are close in…

We discuss nonfactorizable $1/N_c$ contributions in the amplitudes of non-leptonic exclusive decays of the type $B\rightarrow D\pi$ ($N_c$ is the number of colors). In a certain kinematical limit rather reliable estimates are possible. It…

I present an extension to arbitrary N of a previously proposed field theoretic model, in which unitary amplitudes for $1->8$ processes were obtained. The Born amplitude in this extension has the behavior $A(1->N)^{tree}\ =\ g^{N-1}\ N!$…

Hyperon non-leptonic weak decay amplitudes are studied in the chiral perturbation theory. We employ the low energy effective weak Hamiltonian which contains the perturbative QCD correction. To include the non-perturbative QCD effect, quark…

We first review the current algebra - PCAC approach to nonleptonic octet baryon 14 weak decay B (\to) (B^{\prime})(\pi) amplitudes. The needed four parameters are independently determined by (\Omega \to \Xi \pi),(\Lambda K) and (\Xi ^{-}\to…

We use a nonpertubative approach which combines coupled channel Lippmann Schwinger equations with meson-meson potentials provided by the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. By means of one parameter, a cut off in the momentum of the loop…

We study the unknown coupling constants that appear at order $p^4$ in the Chiral Perturbation Theory analysis of $K \to \pi \gamma^* \to \pi l^+ l^-$, $K^{+-} \to \pi^{+-} \gamma \gamma$ and $K \to \pi \pi \gamma$ decays. To that end, we…

We explore the S-wave and P-wave amplitudes for $NNK$ and $\Lambda\Lambda K$ interactions using chiral perturbation theory to ${\cal O}(m_s\log m_s)$. In contrast to the large corrections found in P-wave amplitudes in the nonleptonic decay…

We report on a calculation of $\epsilon_K'/\epsilon_K$ at next-to-leading in the $1/N_c$ expansion and to lowest order in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We discuss the short-distance matching, the scale and scheme dependence as well as the…

We recalculate the leading nonanalytic contributions to the amplitudes for hyperon nonleptonic decays in chiral perturbation theory. Our results partially disagree with those calculated before, and include new terms previously omitted in…

Hyperon non-leptonic weak decay amplitudes are studied in the chiral perturbation theory. The weak interaction vertices caused by the four quark operators are substituted by the products of the hadronic currents and by the…

We critically examine the $\bar{K}N$ coupled-channel approach presented in [1] and demonstrate that it violates constraints imposed by chiral symmetry of QCD. The origin of this violation can be traced back to the off-shell treatment of the…

We discuss the weak coupling expansion of massless QCD with the Dirac operator which is derived by Neuberger based on the overlap formalism and satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. The axial U(1) anomaly associated to the chiral…

We prove an abstract criterion on spectral instability of nonnegative selfadjoint extensions of a symmetric operator and apply this to self-adjoint Neumann Laplacians on bounded Lipschitz domains, intervals, and graphs. Our results can be…

Light-quark hadronic physics admits two useful systematic expansions, the chiral and 1/N_c expansions. Their respective limits do not commute, making such cases where both expansions may be considered to be especially interesting. We first…

We obtain the partial-wave unitarity constraints on the lowest-dimension effective operators which generate anomalous quartic gauge couplings but leave the triple gauge couplings unaffected. We consider operator expansions with linear and…
