The approach to the eta'-eta complex employing chirally well-behaved quark-antiquark bound states and incorporating the non-Abelian axial anomaly of QCD through the generalization of the Witten-Veneziano relation, is extended to finite…
In-medium modification of the eta' mass is discussed in the context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. We emphasize that the U_A(1) anomaly effects causes the eta'-eta mass difference necessarily through the chiral…

To accomodate recent RHIC data on eta prime multiplicity, we propose a minimal modification of the Witten-Veneziano relation at high temperature. This renders a significant drop of eta prime mass at high temperature signaling a restoration…
The Witten-Veneziano relation, or, alternatively, its generalization proposed by Shore, facilitates understanding and describing the complex of eta and eta' mesons. We present an analytic, closed-form solution to Shore's equations which…
The in-medium mass of the $\eta^{\prime}$ meson is discussed in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. The $\eta^{\prime}$ mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV at the saturation density. The…
We study the relation between chiral and $U_A(1)$ symmetries in the quark-meson model. Although quarks and mesons are described in mean field approximation, the topological susceptibility characterizing the $U_A(1)$ breaking comprises two…
We investigate the \eta'N two-body interaction in the context of the \eta' meson mass modification in the nuclear medium. It has been argued in several articles that the masses of \eta' and the other pseudoscalar mesons (\pi, K, \eta)…
In this review, we will discuss how the chiral symmetry and U_A(1) breaking effects are reflected in the correlation functions. Using the Banks-Casher formula, one can identify the density of zero eigenvalues to be the common ingredient…
We investigate the full U(3)$\otimes$U(3) chiral symmetry restoration, at finite temperature and density, on the basis of a quark model which incorporates the most relevant properties of QCD in this context: explicit and spontaneous…
After giving brief discussions on the chiral condensate in hot and/or dense hadronic matter and the significance of the $\sigma$ meson in QCD, we discuss the importance of experiments using nuclear targets including ones with…
We investigate the restoration of chiral symmetry at finite temperature in the SU(2) quark meson model where the mean field approximation is compared to the renormalized version for quarks and mesons. In a combined approach at finite…
We discuss recent results regarding the interplay between chiral and $U(1)_A$ symmetry restoration, both from the point of view of Ward Identities relating meson susceptibilities and quark condensates, and from the behaviour of light meson…
The effective restoration of the U_{A}(1) symmetry is revisited by implementing the functional renormalization group approach combining with the 2+1 flavor Polyakov-loop quark-meson model. A temperature-dependent 't Hooft term is taken to…
We study the temperature dependence of the pseudoscalar meson properties in a relativistic bound-state approach exhibiting the chiral behavior mandated by QCD. Concretely, we adopt the Dyson-Schwinger approach with a rank-2 separable model…
We discuss the in-medium mass of the eta-prime meson under partial restoration of chiral symmetry. The chiral SU(3)\otimes SU(3) symmetry tells us the flavor singlet pseudoscalar meson eta-prime should degenerate with the octet $\eta$ meson…
We discuss and propose the minimal generalization of the Witten-Veneziano relation to finite temperatures, prompted by STAR and PHENIX experimental results on the multiplicity of eta' mesons. After explaining why these results show that the…
The masses of hadrons in the vacuum, where the chiral symmetry is restored, and in the medium are in general different even when the changes in the order parameters of chiral symmetry are the same. Here, we first discuss the relation…
The effective restoration of the chiral U(A)(1) symmetry in strong interactions is studied using the linear chiral SU(3)xSU(3) model at finite temperatures. We find that the disappearance of the chiral anomaly causes a considerable change…
