Chiral symmetry breaking and perturbative QCD

David J. Broadhurst
- 28 May 1981 -

TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that any combination of propagators that vanishes at zero momentum by virtue of Ward identifies is free of subtractions and satisfies a superconvergence relation.

$B$ Meson Decay Constants $f_{B_c}$, $f_{B_s}$ and $f_B$ from QCD Sum Rules

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite energy QCD sum rule with Legendre polynomial integration kernels was used to determine the heavy meson decay constant. But their results exhibit excellent stability in a wide range of values of the integration radius in the complex squared energy plane.

Chiral corrections to the $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation

TL;DR: In this article, the pseudoscalar correlator to five-loop order in perturbative QCD, together with new finite energy sum rules (FESR) incorporating polynomial, Legendre type, integration kernels were used to suppress hadronic contributions in the region where they are least known.

Decay Constants of Heavy-Light Mesons from QCD

TL;DR: In this article, a novel extraction of this ratio from heavy quark effective theory (HQET) sum rules by including the normalization factor (M_b/M_B)^2 relating the pseudoscalar to the universal HQET correlators for finite b-quark and B-meson masses was presented.

Improved two loop quark mass corrections

S C Generalis
- 01 Nov 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how to cancel mass singularities of the form m4log m through to O( alpha sm4log 2m), which arise in the evaluation of light-quark current correlators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-energy behaviour of two-point functions of quark currents

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived vector, axial-vector, scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at low and intermediate energies in the context of an extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (ENJL) model.

QCD and resonance physics. theoretical foundations

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study is made of the non-perturbative effects in quantum chromodynamics, where the basic object is the two-point functions of various currents and the terms of this series are shown to be of two distinct types.

QCD and Resonance Physics: Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the dispersion charmonium theory was extended to include power terms due to the nonperturbative effects of QCD, and an estimate for the gluonic vacuum expectation value was derived.

QCD and resonance physics: The ϱ-ω mixing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the QCD-based approach to cover the ϱ-ω mixing problem and showed that virtual photon exchanges alone cannot explain the observed value of the mixing parameter.

Spectral function sum rules in quantum chromodynamics: (I). Charged currents sector

TL;DR: In this article, the Weinberg sum rules of the algebra of currents are reconsidered in the light of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and new finite-energy sum rules are derived which replace the old Weinberg sums rules.

QCD contribution to vacuum polarization: The pseudoscalar unequal mass case

TL;DR: In this article, the perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to the vacuum polarization from the pseudoscalar current in the unequal mass case were computed to first order in α s.
