Given existing empirical spectral patterns of excited hadrons it has been suggested that chiral symmetry is approximately restored in excited hadrons at zero temperature/density (effective symmetry restoration). If correct, this implies…

We analyze the restoration pattern of the members of the scalar and pseudoscalar meson nonets under chiral $O(4)$ and $U(1)_A$ symmetries. For that purpose, we exploit QCD Ward Identities (WI), which allow one to relate susceptibilities…
Recent data for highly excited mesons suggest that not only the chiral $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ symmetry of QCD is restored high in the spectrum but also the $ U(1)_A$ symmetry. This means that it is not a confining interaction in QCD which…
QCD string picture of highly excited hadrons very naturally explains parity doubling once the chiral symmetry is restored high in the spectrum. In particular, the spin-orbit and tensor interactions of quarks at the ends of the string,…
We review the current status of the problem of chiral symmetry restoration, discussing an open question of whether at the $SU(N_f)_A$ restoration point $T=T_c$ the $U(1)_A$ chiral symmetry is or is not (approximately) restored. New lattice…
Multiple lattice evidences support the existence of a confining but chirally symmetric regime of QCD above the chiral symmetry restoration crossover at Tch ~ 155 MeV. This regime is characterised by an approximate chiral spin symmetry of…
