In this thesis I concentrate on the angular correlations in top quark decays and their next--to--leading order (NLO) QCD corrections. I also discuss the leading--order (LO) angular correlations in unpolarized and polarized hyperon decays. In the first part of the thesis I calculate the angular correlation between the top quark spin and the momentum of decay products in the rest frame decay of a polarized top quark into a charged Higgs boson and a bottom quark in Two-Higgs-Doublet-Models: $t(uparrow)rightarrow b+H^{+}$. The decay rate in this process is split into an angular independent part (unpolarized) and an angular dependent part (polar correlation). I provide closed form formulae for the ${mathcal O}(alpha_{s})$ radiative corrections to the unpolarized and the polar correlation functions for $m_{b}neq 0$ and $m_{b}=0$. The results for the unpolarized rate agree with the existing results in the literature. The results for the polarized correlations are new. I found that, for certain values of $tanbeta$, the ${mathcal O}(alpha_s)$ radiative corrections to the unpolarized, polarized rates, and the asymmetry parameter can become quite large. In the second part I concentrate on the semileptonic rest frame decay of a polarized top quark into a bottom quark and a lepton pair: $t(uparrow) to X_b + ell^+ + nu_ell$. I analyze the angular correlations between the top quark spin and the momenta of the decay products in two different helicity coordinate systems: system 1a with the $z$--axis along the charged lepton momentum, and system 3a with the $z$--axis along the neutrino momentum. The decay rate then splits into an angular independent part (unpolarized), a polar angle dependent part (polar correlation) and an azimuthal angle dependent part (azimuthal correlation). I present closed form expressions for the ${mathcal O}(alpha_{s})$ radiative corrections to the unpolarized part and the polar and azimuthal correlations in system 1a and 3a for $m_{b}neq 0$ and $m_{b}=0$. For the unpolarized part and the polar correlation I agree with existing results. My results for the azimuthal correlations are new. In system 1a I found that the azimuthal correlation vanishes in the leading order as a consequence of the $(V-A)$ nature of the Standard Model current. The ${mathcal O}(alpha_{s})$ radiative corrections to the azimuthal correlation in system 1a are very small (around 0.24% relative to the unpolarized LO rate). In system 3a the azimuthal correlation does not vanish at LO. The ${mathcal O}(alpha_{s})$ radiative corrections decreases the LO azimuthal asymmetry by around 1%. In the last part I turn to the angular distribution in semileptonic hyperon decays. Using the helicity method I derive complete formulas for the leading order joint angular decay distributions occurring in semileptonic hyperon decays including lepton mass and polarization effects. Compared to the traditional covariant calculation the helicity method allows one to organize the calculation of the angular decay distributions in a very compact and efficient way. This is demonstrated by the specific example of the polarized hyperon decay $Xi^0(uparrow) to Sigma^+ + l^- + bar{nu}_l$ ,($l^-=e^-, mu^-$) followed by the nonleptonic decay $Sigma^+ to p + pi^0$, which is described by a five--fold angular decay distribution.

Ist $f: X \to S$ eine glatte Familie von Calabi-Yau-Mannigfaltigkeiten der Dimension $m$ über einer quasiprojektiven Kurve, so trägt nach einem Resultat von Zucker die erste $L^2$-Kohomologiegruppe $H^1_{(2)}(S, R^m f_* \mathbb{C}_X)$ eine reine Hodgestruktur vom Gewicht $m+1$. In dieser Arbeit berechnen wir die Hodgezahlen solcher Hodgestrukturen für $m= 1, 2, 3$ und verallgemeinern dabei Formeln aus einem Artikel von del Angel, Müller-Stach, van Straten und Zuo auf den Fall, in dem die lokalen Monodromiematrizen bei Unendlich nicht unipotent, sondern echt quasi-unipotent sind. Wir verwenden dazu den $L^2$-Higgs-Komplex nach Jost, Yang und Zuo. Für Familien von Kurven führt dies auf eine bereits bekannte Formel von Cox und Zucker. Schließlich wenden wir die Ergebnisse im Fall $m=3$ auf 14 Familien von Calabi-Yau-Mannigfaltigkeiten an, die eine Rolle in der Spiegelsymmetrie spielen, sowie auf eine von Rohde konstruierte Familie ohne Punkte mit maximal unipotenter Monodromie.
