Sutherlands theorem dictates that the contribution of the electromagnetic interaction to the decay process (etarightarrow 3pi^{0}) is neglected with respect to the one coming from the difference between the up and down quark masses. In the framework of chiral perturbation theory including virtual photons, we calculated the main diagram concerning the exchange of a virtual photon between two intermediate charged pions. The correction induced by this diagram on the slope parameter amounts to (17%) of the correction induced by the pure strong interaction at one-loop level. If this result is maintained when considering all the diagrams at the chiral order we are working, we can say without any doubt that Sutherlands theorem is strongly violated. As a direct consequence, any determination of light quark masses from the present decay textit{should} take into account the electromagnetic interaction.

We present the first and complete dispersion relation analysis of the inner radiative corrections to the axial coupling constant $g_A$ in the neutron $beta$-decay. Using experimental inputs from the elastic form factors and the spin-dependent structure function $g_1$, we determine the contribution from the $gamma W$-box diagram to a precision better than $10^{-4}$. Our calculation indicates that the inner radiative corrections to the Fermi and the Gamow-Teller matrix element in the neutron $beta$-decay are almost identical, i.e. the ratio $lambda=g_A/g_V$ is almost unrenormalized. With this result, we predict the bare axial coupling constant to be {$mathring{g}_A=-1.2754(13)_mathrm{exp}(2)_mathrm{RC}$} based on the PDG average $lambda=-1.2756(13)$
In the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory including photons, we found that the contribution of the photon exchange between two intermediate charged Kaons to the slope parameter of the decay (etarightarrow 3pi^{0}) amounts to (-0.0221pm 0.0034). When compared with the experimental value, (alpha =-0.0317pm 0.0016), on the one hand, and with the contribution of the up and down quark mass difference, (+0.013pm 0.032), on the other hand, our result leads to the direct conclusion: textit{The} (etarightarrow 3pi^{0}) textit{decay uline{cannot} be used to determine} (m_{d}-m_{u}).
In Carrasco et al. we have recently proposed a method to calculate $O(e^2)$ electromagnetic corrections to leptonic decay widths of pseudoscalar mesons. The method is based on the observation that the infrared divergent contributions (that appear at intermediate stages of the calculation and that cancel in physical quantities thanks to the Bloch-Nordsieck mechanism) are universal, i.e. depend on the charge and the mass of the meson but not on its internal structure. In this talk we perform a detailed analysis of the finite-volume effects associated with our method. In particular we show that also the leading $1/L$ finite-volume effects are universal and perform an analytical calculation of the finite-volume leptonic decay rate for a point-like meson.
We reconsider gravitational corrections to vacuum decay, confirming and simplifying earlier results and extending them by allowing for a non-minimal coupling of the Higgs to gravity. We find that leading-order gravitational corrections suppress the vacuum decay rate. Furthermore, we compute minor corrections to thermal vacuum decay in the SM by adding one-loop contributions to the Higgs kinetic term, two-loop contributions to the Higgs potential and allowing for time-dependent bounces.
The low-energy amplitude of Compton scattering on the bound state of two charged particles of arbitrary masses, charges and spins is calculated. A case in which the bound state exists due to electromagnetic interaction (QED) is considered. The term, proportional to $omega^2$, is obtained taking into account the first relativistic correction. It is shown that the complete result for this correction differs essentially from the commonly used term $Deltaalpha$, proportional to the r.m.s. charge radius of the system. We propose that the same situation can take place in the more complicated case of hadrons.
