We compute the Form Factors of both neutral and charged pion using a non-perturbative running of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ obtained using a double-dilaton Holographic QCD model. These form factors remain poorly understood in…
Topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations are an interesting aspect of non-abelian gauge theories. These become particularly important upon quantizing the theory, especially through their effect on the pseudo-scalar spectrum.…
We present the two- and three-pion exchange contributions to the nucleon-nucleon interaction which occur at next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N4LO, fifth order) of chiral effective field theory, and calculate nucleon-nucleon…
The renormalization of the NN interaction with the Chiral Two Pion Exchange Potential computed using relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory is considered. The short distance singularity reduces the number of counter-terms to about a…
We study the perturbative renormalizability of chiral two pion exchange in nucleon-nucleon scattering for p- and d-waves within the effective field theory approach. The one pion exchange potential is fully iterated at the leading order in…

We show that the multicomponent meson systems can be described by chiral perturbation theory. We chiefly focus on a system of two pion gases at different isospin chemical potential, deriving the general expression of the chiral Lagrangian,…
The charge-dependent nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interactions are crucial in understanding the nuclear structure and reaction problems. This work explores the charge-dependent $NN$ interaction in covariant chiral effective field theory. By…
We derive the leading contribution to the four-nucleon force within the framework of chiral effective field theory. It is governed by the exchange of pions and the lowest-order nucleon-nucleon contact interaction and includes effects due to…
We investigate an extended chiral soliton model which includes $\pi, \rho, \omega$ and $\sigma $ mesons as explicit degrees of freedom. The Lagrangian incorporates chiral symmetry and broken scale invariance. A scalar-isoscalar meson…
Recent developments in calculations of low energy nucleon properties utilizing effective chiral field theories with explicit spin 3/2 matter fields are presented. In particular, the role of Delta resonances in microscopic calculations of…
The chiral quark model posits pseudoscalar and vector meson couplings to constituent quarks. The parity violating meson-quark couplings lead to anapole moments and form factors of the nucleons. These arise both as parity violating meson…
We outline the progress made in the past five years by the S\~ao Paulo group in the development of a two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potential within a Lorentz-invariant framework of (baryon) chiral perturbation theory.
We test the presence of pion-nucleon isoscalar off-shell effects in the $pd\to \pi^+ t$ reaction around the threshold region. We find that these effects significantly modify the production cross section and that they may provide the missing…
The renormalization of the chiral nuclear interactions is studied. In leading order, the cutoff dependence is related to the singular tensor interaction of the one-pion exchange potential. In S waves and in higher partial waves where the…
The constraints imposed by chiral symmetry on hadron correlation functions in nuclear medium are discussed. It is shown that these constraints imply a certain structure for the in-medium hadron correlators and lead to the cancelation of the…
We consider pion-nucleon scattering in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory to third order. All electromagnetic corrections appearing to this order are included. We thus have a consistent description of strong and electromagnetic…
We discuss the sensitivity of nucleon properties (mass, magnetic moments and electromagnetic form factors) on the variation of the pseudoscalar meson masses in the context of the perturbative chiral quark model. The obtained results are…

We investigate self-interacting scalar, pseudoscalar and vector meson fields and their influence on NN interactions. Due to the self--interaction one has to solve nonlinear field equations which allow solitary wave solutions. A propability…
