We present a model independent study of the chiral condensate evolution in a hadronic gas, in terms of temperature and baryon chemical potential. The meson-meson interactions are described within Chiral Perturbation Theory and the…
I discuss the quark mass dependence of various baryon properties derived from chiral perturbation theory. Such representations can eventually be used as chiral extrapolation functions when lattice data at sufficiently small quark masses…
Recently, the development of chiral perturbation theory has allowed the generation of rigorous low energy theorems for various hadronic processes based only on the chiral invariance of the underlying QCD Lagrangian. Such techniques are…
In these lectures I make an introduction to chiral unitary theory applied to the meson baryon interaction and show how several well known resonances are dynamically generated, and others are predicted. Two very recent experiments are…
We employ the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio, linear-$\sigma$ models, and the density-dependent model with chiral limits to work out the mean fields and relevant properties of nuclear matter. To have the constraint from the data, we reexamine…
We employ the chiral nucleon-nucleon potential derived using the method of unitary transformation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) to study bound and scattering states in the two-nucleon system. The predicted partial wave phase…
Chiral-parity (parity-doublet) effective Lagrangian models provide a compact and symmetry-consistent framework for describing baryons and their negative-parity partners in terms of linearly-realized chiral symmetry. Unlike the conventional,…

Baryon form factors can be analyzed in a largely model-independent fashion in terms of two complementary approaches. These are chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I review the status of dispersive calculations of the…
