Realistic nuclear potentials, derived within chiral perturbation theory, are a major breakthrough in modern nuclear structure theory, since they provide a direct link between nuclear physics and its underlying theory, namely the QCD. As a…
A new mechanism for the parity doublers in hadrons is suggested.
The discovery of the atomic electric dipole moment (EDM) would reveal the simultaneous violation of parity (P) and time-reversal (T) invariance. The EDM can be induced by T-odd forces between the nucleus and atomic electrons. As the nuclear…
The possibility of a second pairing transition $d\to d+is$ ($d+id^\prime$) in planar $d$-wave superconductors which occurs in the absence of external magnetic field, magnetic impurities or boundaries is established in the framework of the…
Chiral effective field theory is being developed into a precision tool for low-energy nuclear physics. I review the state of the art in the two-nucleon sector, discuss applications to few-nucleon systems and address challenges that will…
Double-close-binary quadruples (2+2 systems) are hierarchical systems of four stars where two short-period binary systems move around their common center of mass on a wider orbit. Using Gaia Early Data Release 3, we search for comoving…
It has recently been suggested that the observed structure of parity doublets, seen in the spectrum of highly excited baryons, may be due to the effective restoration of chiral symmetry for these states. This chiral symmetry restoration…
Electron pairing in one-dimensional binary Hubbard chains is studied for different values of the band-filling using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method. The systems consist of linear arrays of sites with two types of on-site…
The Interacting Boson plus broken-pairs Model has been used to describe high-spin bands in spherical and transitional nuclei. In the spherical nucleus $^{104}$Cd the model reproduces the structure of high-spin bands built on a vibrational…
We study electromagnetic transition rates in the framework of the algebraic cluster model. The concept of shape-phase transitions is used to propose a mechanism that allows to have interband and intraband quadrupole transitions of…
The system with the square shoulder (SS) potential is considered in the frame of Mode Coupling Theory (MCT) approach. An approximation for the structure factor is used that emphasizes the quasibinary character of the system. The qualitative…
We review selected recent theoretical activity in perturbative QCD. We focus on progress in the description of parton densities, including latest developments in neural network parton densities, on the description of high multiplicity final…
For the first time, the tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory with pairing correlations has been formulated and implemented in a fully self-consistent and microscopic way to investigate the evolution of the spin axis and…
In the covariant level-classification scheme of hadrons proposed recently, the existence of "chiral particles", scalar and axial-vector mesons as the partners of the ground-state pseudo-scalar and vector mesons, respectively, were predicted…
Observations of the Kuiper Belt indicate that a larger than expected percentage of KBO's (approximately 8 out of 500) are in binary pairs. The formation and survival of such objects presents a conundrum [1]. Two competing theories have been…
A brief review on the recent theoretical progress in hot/dense QCD is given. Special emphasis is put on the non-perturbative aspects of QCD plasma and the modification of hadron proporties near the critical temperature of chiral transition.
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…
The past year has seen enormous progress in string theory. It has become clear that all of the different string theories are different limits of a single theory. Moreover, in certain limits, one obtains a new, eleven-dimensional structure…
Quark interaction with topologically non-trivial gluonic fields, instantons and sphalerons, violates \P and \CP symmetry. In the strong magnetic field of a non-central nuclear collision such interactions lead to the charge separation along…
Chiral four-wave-mixing signals are calculated using the irreducible tensor formalism. Different polarization and crossing angle configurations allow to single out the magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole interactions. Other…
