In this paper, we present the full Lagrangian of mesons (pseudoscalars, vectors and axial-vectors) to $O(p^4)$ by using the explicit global chiral symmetry and hidden local symmetry in the chiral limit. In this approach, we see that there…
The baryon axial vector current is computed at one-loop order in large-N_c baryon chiral perturbation theory, where N_c is the number of colors. Loop graphs with octet and decuplet intermediate states are systematically incorporated into…

A range of issues in the field of weak and electromagnetic interactions of hyperons is presented from the perspective of (broken) chiral symmetry, together with an assessment of where important challenges remain.
The chiral magnetic effect (CME) in heavy-ion collisions reflects the local violation of ${\cal P}$ and ${\cal CP}$ symmetries in strong interactions and manifests as electric charge separation along the direction of the magnetic field…
Antisymmetric tensor fields with chiral couplings to quarks and leptons may induce spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking in a model without a ``fundamental'' Higgs scalar. No microscopic local mass term for the chiral tensors or…
The chiral magnetic effect (CME) and the chiral vortical effect (CVE) induce a correlation between baryon and electric currents. We show that this correlation can be detected using a new observable: a mixed baryon-electric charge…
These lectures discuss the question of whether a key feature is seen in hadron spectroscopy--the near degeneracy of hadrons with different parity and/or spin. It has been conjectured that this is due to an effective restoration of chiral…
A dynamical model for correlated two-pion and two-kaon exchange in the baryon- baryon interaction is presented, both in the scalar-isoscalar ($\sigma$) and the vector-isovector ($\rho$) channel. The correlations between the two pseudoscalar…
A proof of Goldstone's theorem is given for the case in which global chiral symmetry is dynamically broken. The proof highlights a needed consistency between the exact Schwinger--Dyson equation for the fermion propagator and the exact…
We reinterpret anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking from a field-theoretic perspective in which superconformal anomalies couple to either the chiral compensator or the $U(1)_R$ vector superfield. As supersymmetry in the hidden sector is…
We derive the the effective lagrangian that describes the interactions among vector, axial-vector mesons and pseudoscalars starting from the extended chiral quark model (ECQM). The results for the low-energy constants of this effective…

We investigate the chiral phase transition of the strongly interacting matter at nonzero temperature and baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$ within an extended (2+1) flavor Polyakov constituent quark-meson model which incorporates the effect…
We consider two-flavor QCD in the lattice regularization with improved Wilson fermions. In this formulation chiral symmetry is explicitly broken at order a and hence the isovector axial currents require improvement as well as a finite…
The hidden local symmetry effective theory, Wilsonian matched to QCD at a matching scale near the chiral scale $\sim 4\pi f_\pi$ as formulated by Harada and Yamawaki, presents a scenario drastically different from the standard scenario of…
We explore a possible phase where chiral $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ symmetry is spontaneously broken while its center $Z_2$ symmetry remains unbroken and its consequence on thermal quantities. In this phase, chiral symmetry breaking is driven…
Broad meson phenomenology in vacuum is discussed in a single model containing scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector states both in the non-strange and strange sectors. Emphasis is given to search for quark-antiquark (quarkonium)…
The status of chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector is reviewed. The main emphasis is on recent developments in pion pion scattering, in semileptonic decays and in nonleptonic kaon decays. A few other selected topics are also…
We describe in-medium properties of hadrons in dense matter near chiral restoration using a Wilsonian matching to QCD of an effective field theory with hidden local symmetry at the chiral cutoff $\Lambda$. We find that chiral symmetry is…
