We consider the evaluation of the $etapi$ isospin-violating vector and scalar form factors relying on a systematic application of analyticity and unitarity, combined with chiral expansion results. It is argued that the usual analyticity properties do hold (i.e. no anomalous thresholds are present) in spite of the instability of the $eta$ meson in QCD. Unitarity relates the vector form factor to the $etapi to pipi$ amplitude: we exploit progress in formulating and solving the Khuri-Treiman equations for $etato 3pi$ and in experimental measurements of the Dalitz plot parameters to evaluate the shape of the $rho$-meson peak. Observing this peak in the energy distribution of the $tauto eta pi u$ decay would be a background-free signature of a second-class amplitude. The scalar form factor is also estimated from a phase dispersive representation using a plausible model for the $etapi$ elastic scattering $S$-wave phase shift and a sum rule constraint in the inelastic region. We indicate how a possibly exotic nature of the $a_0(980)$ scalar meson manifests itself in a dispersive approach. A remark is finally made on a second-class amplitude in the $tautopipi u$ decay.
A model for S-wave $etapi$ scattering is proposed which could be realistic in an energy range from threshold up to above one GeV, where inelasticity is dominated by the $Kbar{K}$ channel. The $T$-matrix, satisfying two-channel unitarity, is given in
I discuss recent applications of QCD light-cone sum rules to various form factors of pseudoscalar mesons. In this approach both soft and hard contributions to the form factors are taken into account. Combining QCD calculation with the analyticity of
Isospin breaking in the Kl4 form factors induced by the difference between charged and neutral pion masses is studied. Starting from suitably subtracted dispersion representations, the form factors are constructed in an iterative way up to two loops
We report recent progress in calculating semileptonic form factors for the $bar{B} to D^ast ell bar{ u}$ and $bar{B} to D ell bar{ u}$ decays using the Oktay-Kronfeld (OK) action for bottom and charm quarks. We use the second order in heavy quark eff
In the two body hadronic tau decays, such as tau->to K pi (eta)nu, vector mesons play important role. Belle and Babar measured hadronic invariant mass spectrum of tau -> K pi nu decay. To compare the spectrum with theoretical prediction, we develop t
