Possible Extension of the Chiral Perturbation Theory Program

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-11-03 v1

Abstract

After a brief discussion of how chiral dynamics has evolved from the ``universal V-A theory of weak interactions'', we present some evidence that symmetry breaking for the vector meson multiplet is not simpler than but rather analogous to that for the pseudoscalar multiplet. This provides a motivation for speculating on how to extend in a systematic way the chiral perturbation theory program to include vectors.
