SVZ sum rules : 30 + 1 years later

Abstract

For this exceptional 25th anniversary of the QCD-Montpellier series of conferences initiated in 85 with the name "Non-perturbative methods", we take the opportunuity to celebrate the 30 + 1 years of the discovery of the SVZ (also called ITEP, QCD or QCD spectral) sum rules by M.A. Shifman, A.I. Vainshtein and V.I. Zakahrov in 79 [1]. In this talk, I have the duty to present the status of the method. I shall (can) not enumerate the vast area of successful applications of sum rules in hadron physics but I shall focus on the historical evolution of field and its new developments. More detailed related discussions and more complete references can be found in the textbooks [2,3].

8 pages, 1 figure, 4 tables, talk given at QCD 10 (15th international QCD-Montpellier conference) for the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the QCD series of Montpellier conference and of the 30+1 years discovery of the SVZ sum rules
