The method of QCD sum rules at finite temperature is reviewed, with emphasis on recent results. These include predictions for the survival of charmonium and bottonium states, at and beyond the critical temperature for deconfinement, as later confirmed by lattice QCD simulations. Also included are determinations in the light-quark vector and axial-vector channels, allowing analysing the Weinberg sum rules and predicting the dimuon spectrum in heavy-ion collisions in the region of the rho-meson. Also, in this sector, the determination of the temperature behaviour of the up-down quark mass, together with the pion decay constant, will be described. Finally, an extension of the QCD sum rule method to incorporate finite baryon chemical potential is reviewed.

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.

We briefly describe two statistical hadronization models, based respectively on the presence and absence of light quark chemical equilibrium, used to analyze particle yields in heavy ion collisions. We then try to distinguish between these models using K/π fluctuations data. We find that while the non-equilibrium model provides an acceptable description of fluctuations at top SPS and RHIC energies, both models considerably under-estimate fluctuations at low SPS energies.

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.

The thermal properties off2(1270),a2(1320), andK2*(1430) light tensor mesons are investigated in the framework of QCD sum rules at finite temperature. In particular, the masses and decay constants of the light tensor mesons are calculated taking into account the new operators appearing at finite temperature. The numerical results show that, at the point at which the temperature-dependent continuum threshold vanishes, the decay constants decrease with amount of (70–85)% compared to their vacuum values, while the masses diminish about (60–72)% depending on the kinds of the mesons under consideration. The results obtained at zero temperature are in good consistency with the experimental data as well as the existing theoretical predictions.
