We base our chiral symmetry approach on the quark-level linear sigma model Lagrangian. Then we review the Nambu--Goldstone theorem with vanishing pi, K, eta_8 masses. Next we dynamically generate the pi, K, eta_8 masses away from the chiral…
We apply tensor network methods to study the strong-coupling $U(N)$ model in its dimer formulation. In three and four dimensions, we investigate the chiral condensate as a function of the quark mass and the degree of the symmetry group, and…
In this work, we compare the tetraquark mixing model and meson molecules in describing the two physical nonets in the $J^P=0^+$ channel, the light nonet [$a_0 (980)$, $K_0^* (700)$, $f_0 (500)$, $f_0 (980)$] and the heavy nonet [$a_0…
We enlarge the chiral model, the so-called extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM), by including the low-lying hybrid nonet with exotic quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ and the nonet of their chiral partners with $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ to a global…
In the case of three quark flavors, (pseudo)scalar diquarks transform as antiquarks under chiral transformations. We construct four spin-1/2 baryonic multiplets from left- and right-handed quarks as well as left- and right-handed diquarks.…
Broken chiral symmetry has become the basis for a unified treatment of hadronic interactions at low energies. After reviewing mechanisms for spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, I outline the construction of the low--energy effective field…
We study light scalar mesons with particular focus on the a_0(980) using lattice QCD with 2+1+1 dynamical quark flavors. To investigate the structure of these scalar mesons and to identify, whether a sizeable tetraquark component is…
We study the dynamical consequences imposed on effective chiral field theories such as the quark-level SU(2) linear $\sigma$ model (L$\sigma$M) due to the fundamental constraints of massless Goldstone pions, the normalization of the pion…
We study the properties of the lowest multiplet of light-flavor tensor meson resonances, i.e. $f_2(1270)$, $a_2(1320)$, $K_2^*(1430)$, and $f_2'(1525)$, within the resonance chiral theory approach. The higher-order resonance chiral…
We present results for the masses of pseudoscalar mesons in twisted mass lattice QCD with a degenerate doublet of u and d quarks and a non-degenerate doublet of s and c quarks in the framework of next-to-leading order chiral perturbation…
The suggestion by Jaffe that if $\sigma$ is a light $q^{2}\bar{q}^{2}$ state $0^{++}$ then even the fundamental chiral transformation properties of the $\sigma$ becomes {\bf unclear}, has stimulated much interest. Adler pointed out that in…
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is described within the linear sigma model of QCD coupled to quarks. The main technical tool used for this intrinsically non--perturbative problem is an exact renormalization group equation for the quantum…
We discuss the dressing of constituent quarks with a pseudoscalar meson cloud within the effective chiral quark model. SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking effects are included explicitly. Our results are compared with those of the traditional…
We consider chiral perturbation theory in a finite volume and in a mixed regime of quark masses. We take N_l light quarks near the chiral limit, in the so-called epsilon-regime, while the remaining N_h quarks are heavier and in the standard…
The ladder-rainbow truncation of the set of Dyson-Schwinger equations is used to study light mesons. The parameters in the effective interaction are constrained by the chiral condensate and f_\pi; the current quark masses are fitted to…
We recently observed the iso-singlet scalar sigma(600)-particle and the iso-doublet scalar kappa(900)-particle, through the re-analyses of pi pi- and K pi-scattering phase shifts, respectively. First, assuming the two iso-singlet states,…
We study a stable, soliton-like solution in the linear $\sigma$-model where the chiral fields are coupled to a single massless nonstrange quark. We investigate a possibility that this solution represents the constituent quark of Georgi and…
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in the DLCQ method is investigated in detail using a chiral Yukawa model closely related to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. By classically solving three constraints characteristic of the light-front…
We study the static scalar susceptibility of the nuclear medium, i.e., the change of the quark condensate for a small modification of the quark mass. In the linear sigma model it is linked to the in-medium sigma propagator. At ordinary…
Attention is paid to the production mechanisms of the light scalars that reveal their nature. In the linear sigma model it is revealed the chiral shielding of the \sigma(600) meson and shown that the \sigma field is described by its…
