In this invited plenary lecture, we reviewed the recent progress in our theoretical understanding of flavourchanging processes. Theory implications of the few open experimental flavour puzzles were briefly discussed.

COBISS.SI-ID: 26969639In this invited plenary lecture, we showed how the overall excellent agreement of flavor theory predictions with the corresponding measurements allows to derive severe constraints on possible extensions of the Standard Model. Theory implications of the few open experimental flavour puzzles were briefly discussed.

COBISS.SI-ID: 27588135The paper represents the invited plenary lecture at the CHARM 2014 conference, which is the major conference related to charm quark held each second year. It provides the review of the spectroscopy on charmonium(like) states and open charm mesons obtained by lattice QCD collaborations across the World.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2652260Recent developments in charm physics within the standard model and beyond are reviewed. The standard model contributions in the D0 D0bar system are still under investigation including operators of higher dimensions. New physics models such as the Littlest Higgs model or warped extradimensional models might modify the amount of CP violation, although CP violating asymmetries are still predicted to be at most of the order 1%. The forwardbackward asymmetry in the top anti top pair production at the Tevatron is opening a new window in the study of new physics in the charm sector. New physics searches in rare charm decays are discussed. It is pointed out that in most models new physics effects in rare charm decays are insignificant.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2333284We review the main constraints on the parameter space of the minimal renormalizable supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory. They consist of the Higgs mass, proton decay, electroweak symmetry breaking and fermion masses. Superpartner masses are constrained both from below and from above, giving hope for confirming or definitely ruling out the theory in the future.
