We consider the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, including a light scalar boson, in the limit of small $\xi=v^2/f^2$. Here $v$ is the electroweak scale and $f$ is the corresponding scale of the new strong dynamics. We show how the…

Chiral perturbation theory is extended to nonrelativistic systems with spontaneously broken symmetry. In the effective Lagrangian, order parameters associated with the generators of the group manifest themselves as effective coupling…
We present a coherent and operational strategy to calculate, in a nonperturbative way, physical observables in light-front dynamics. This strategy is based on the decomposition of the state vector of any compound system in Fock components,…
