QCD Laplace Sum-Rules must satisfy a fundamental Hölder inequality if they are to consistently represent an integrated hadronic spectral function. The Laplace sum-rules of pion currents is shown to violate this inequality unless the u and d quark masses are sufficiently large, placing a lower bound on mu+md, the SU(2)-invariant combination of the light-quark masses.

Recent QCD sum rule determinations of the light quark masses are reviewed. In the case of the strange quark mass, possible uncertainties are discussed in the framework of finite energy sum rules.

In a recent paper1 we have proposed a new approach for extracting the wave function of the π-meson φπ(x) and the masses and wave functions of its first resonances from the new QCD sum rules for nondiagonal correlators obtained in Ref. 2. Here, we test our approach using an exactly solvable toy model as illustration. We demonstrate the validity of the method and suggest a pure algebraic procedure for extracting the masses and wave functions relating to the case under investigation. We also explore the stability of the procedure under perturbations of the theoretical part of the sum rule. In application to the pion case, this results not only in the mass and wave function of the first resonance (π′), but also in the estimation of π″-mass.

The standard procedure to determine (analytically) the values of the quark masses is to relate QCD two-point functions to experimental data in the framework of QCD sum rules. In the case of the light quark sector, the ideal Green function is the pseudoscalar correlator which involves the quark masses as an overall multiplicative factor. For the past thirty years this method has been affected by systematic uncertainties originating in the hadronic resonance sector, thus limiting the accuracy of the results. Recently, a major breakthrough has been made allowing for a considerable reduction of these systematic uncertainties and leading to light quark masses accurate to better than 8%. This procedure will be described in this talk for the up-, down-, strange-quark masses, after a general introduction to the method of QCD sum rules.

I briefly review recent QCD Sum Rules determinations of the strange current quark mass, based on the analysis of the two-point ΔS=1 scalar correlators and discuss, in particular, the role of resonances and non-resonant background in the spectral function.

It is pointed out that by imposing the requirement of non-negativity on the running ϕ4 coupling λ(t) in the standard electroweak model, lower bounds on the masses of the Higgs boson and the top quark can be obtained. If m H ≳ 25 GeV , the bound corresponds to mt ≳ 45 GeV . More useful bounds can be derived in a temperature-dependent theory.

We investigate twist-three distribution amplitudes (DAs) of η and η' using QCD sum rules. Zeroth moments of light quark DAs of η and η' are evaluated and compared with those found in other approaches. The decay constants of the octet axial vector current in the η and η' system are also estimated.
