We provide a taxonomy of dynamical supersymmetry breaking theories, and discuss the cosmological implications of the various types of models. Models in which supersymmetry breaking is produced by chiral superfields which only have…
Embedding QCD into the standard model breaks various symmetries of QCD explicitly, especially C and P. While these effects are usually perturbatively small, they can be amplified in extreme environments like merging neutron stars or by the…
In this letter, we discuss a novel method to search for inhomogeneous chiral symmetry breaking in theories with fermions. The prime application we have in mind is QCD, but the method is also applicable for other theories, including…
Consequences of the alternative mechanism of spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry without formation of a large quark antiquark condensate is reviewed. Emphasis is put on the resulting picture of light quark masses.
Solutions of the superspace Schwinger-Dyson equations, describing mass generation and chiral symmetry breaking in supersymmetric gauge theory, need not be constrained to vanish by no-renormalization theorems, nor by special choices of gauge…
We introduce a new type of deformation of the chiral symmetry based on the deformation of the Laurent expansion of the conformal energy momentum tensor. Two kinds of solutions of the deformed equations of continuity are worked out. Known…
A singular configuration of external static magnetic field in the form of a pointlike vortex polarizes the vacuum of quantized massless spinor field in 2+1-dimensional space-time. This results in an analogue of the Bohm-Aharonov effect: the…
In this paper we study the consistency of generalized global symmetries in theories of quantum gravity, in particular string theory. Such global symmetries arise in theories with $(p+1)$-form gauge fields, and for spacetime dimension $d\leq…
In this paper a model incorporating chiral symmetry breaking and dynamical soft-wall AdS/QCD is established. The AdS/QCD background is introduced dynamically as suggested by Wayne de Paula etc al and chiral symmetry breaking is discussed by…
In this talk, I address some recent developments in chiral perturbation theory at unphysical and physical quark masses.
Finite group symmetry is commonplace in Physics, in particular through crystallographic groups occurring in condensed matter physics -- but also through the inversions (C,P,T and their combinations) occurring in high energy physics and…
I present an outline of chiral perturbation theory and discuss some recent developments in the field.
The last decade has seen a marked shift in how the internal structure of hadrons is understood. Modern experimental facilities, new theoretical techniques for the continuum bound-state problem and progress with lattice-regularised QCD have…
Guided by the ideas of chirality in the abstract polytope theory, the present paper aims to extend the concept to a more general setting of incidence geometries. The purpose of this paper is to explore the more general framework of thin…
By chiral effects one understands manifestations of chiral gauge anomaly and of gravitational chiral anomaly in hydrodynamics. In recent two-three years our understanding of the chiral effects has considerably changed. Here we present…
An increasing number of model results suggests that chiral symmetry is broken inhomogeneously in a certain window at intermediate densities in the QCD phase diagram. This could have significant effects on the properties of compact stars,…
This is a brief summary of topics that were presented as lectures within the programme "New Frontiers in QCD 2010" at the Yukawa Institute of Theoretical Physics in Kyoto. The basic subject is phases and symmetry breaking patterns as they…
The large N_c N=4 gauge theory with quenched N=2 quark matter in the presence of a magnetic field displays chiral symmetry breaking. We study the temperature and chemical potential dependence of this theory using its gravity dual (based on…
Quenched and partially quenched chiral perturbation theory for vector mesons is developed and is used to extract chiral loop correction to the $\rho$ meson mass. Connections to fully quenched and totally unquenched chiral perturbation…
We consider here the genericity aspects of spacetime singularities that occur in cosmology and in gravitational collapse. The singularity theorems (that predict the occurrence of singularities in general relativity) allow the singularities…
