We study the scalar and pseudoscalar sector in a five-dimenional model describing chiral symmetry breaking. We calculate the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point correlator, the mass spectrum and interactions. We also obtain the scalar and…
We present a comprehensive analysis of form factors for two light pseudoscalar mesons induced by scalar, vector, and tensor quark operators. The theoretical framework is based on a combination of unitarized chiral perturbation theory and…

We show that in the presence of massive particles such as nucleons, the standard low energy expansion in powers of meson momenta and light quark masses in general only converges in part of the low energy region. The expansion of the scalar…
We discuss a relativistic chiral theory of nuclear matter with $\sigma$ and $\omega$ exchange using a formulation of the $\sigma$ model in which all the chiral constraints are automatically fulfilled. We establish a relation between the…
We augment the chiral Lagrangian by an isosinglet scalar and compute the one-loop radiative corrections to the pion mass and decay constant, as well as the scalar mass. The calculations are carried out for different patterns of chiral…
The interactions of $\rho$, $K^*$, $\phi$ and $\omega$ vector-mesons with low-momentum $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ pseudoscalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a heavy vector-meson chiral Lagrangian in which the vector mesons…

We review chiral symmetry breaking at the BCS level, in the framework of chiral invariant quark models and in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism. We revisit the pi mass problem beyond the BCS level. We show a theorem on the masses, on the widths…
After describing the SU(2) linear sigma model (L$\sigma$M), we dynamically generate it using the B.W. Lee null tadpole sum (characterizing the true vacuum) together with the dimensional regularization lemma. Next we generate the…
We develop a scheme for the extraction of the properties of the scalar mesons f0(600), f0(980), and a0(980) from lattice QCD data. This scheme is based on a two-channel chiral unitary approach with fully relativistic propagators in a finite…
I briefly review the current status of chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector. Emphasis is given on the quest for higher precision. I discuss two examples: one where it is difficult to make a good prediction (K_L -> pi^0 gamma…
We adopt the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory to calculate the $\Sigma_cN$ interaction to the next-to-leading order. We consider the contact interactions, one-pion-exchange contributions, two-pion-exchange diagrams, and…
