Depending on whether electroweak physics beyond the Standard Model is based on a linear or on a non-linear implementation of the electroweak symmetry breaking, a linear or a chiral Effective Lagrangian is more appropriate. In this talk, the…
A historical review of pion-nucleon interactions at low energy is presented, with aims toward an introductory, pedagogic approach focusing on issues germane to current research. These topics include the use of chiral effective field theory,…

The SM Lagrangian without physical scalars is rewritten as the LO of a Low-Energy Effective Theory invariant under a higher non linear symmetry S_{nat} \supset SU(2)_W \times U(1)_Y. Soft breaking of S_{nat} defines a hierarchy of non…

The effective QCD charge extracted from $\tau$ decay is remarkably constant at small momenta, implying the near-conformal behavior of hadronic interactions at small momentum transfer. The correspondence of large-$N_C$ supergravity theory in…
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of the violation of discrete space-time symmetries in hadronic and nuclear systems. We focus on parity-violating and time-reversal-conserving interactions which are induced by the…

We derive a low-energy quantum field theory from quantum chromodynamics (QCD) that holds in the limit of a very large coupling. All the parameters of the bare theory are fixed through QCD. Low-energy limit is obtained through a mapping…
Recently methods have been developed which exploit the chiral symmetry of QCD in order to make rigorous contact with low energy particle physics phenomenology. In these lectures we present a pedagogical introduction to these techniques.
Due to the mass gap between the Standard Model and possible New Physics states, electroweak effective approaches are appropriate. Although a linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking with the Higgs forming a doublet together…
Implications are explored of promoting non-conformal scale-invariant theories to conformal theories by nonlinearly realizing the missing symmetry. Properties of the associated Nambu-Goldstone mode imply that conformal invariance cannot be…
We study the energy-momentum relations of the Nambu-Goldstone modes in quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models on a hypercubic lattice. This work is a sequel to the previous series about the models. We prove that the Nambu-Goldstone…
An effective hadronic lagrangian consistent with the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics and intended for applications to finite-density systems is constructed. The degrees of freedom are (valence) nucleons, pions, and the low-lying…
We study the q \bar q structure embedded in chiral mesons in response to external magnetic fields, using the chiral Lagrangian with q \bar q degrees of freedom derived earlier. We show that GMOR relations hold true for neutral chiral…

The various dynamical scales below the pion mass involved in $\pi^{+}$ $\pi^{-}$ atoms are sequentially integrated out using non-relativistic effective field theory techniques. This allows us to systematically organise the corrections to…
This thesis explores two different avenues aimed at improving our ability to calculate reliably in the Standard Model of particle physics and probing possible new particles which may exist beyond it. In the first part, we explore whether…
