By combining the ($u$,$d$) I-spin doublets or ($d$,$s$) U-spin doublets, the SU(3) flavor symmetry of light quarks can be decomposed into SU(2)$_I\times$U(1)$_Y$ or SU(2)$_U\times$U(1)$_Q$ subgroups, which have been widely adopted to…

Isospin and flavor SU(3) relations in charmless hadronic B decays $B\to \pi \pi, \pi K$ are investigated in detail with paying attention to the SU(3) symmetry breaking effects in both amplitudes and strong phases. In general, the isospin…

We employ the flavor SU(3) symmetry to analyze semileptonic decays of anti-triplet charmed baryons ($\Lambda^{+}_{c},\Xi_{c}^{+,0}$) and find that the experimental data on ${\cal B}(\Lambda_c\to\Lambda \ell^+\nu_{\ell})$ implies…

The notion induced symmetry breaking (ISB) is introduced as a generalization of the spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism and is illustrated in a simple two flavor spin model. In the case of QCD at finite baryon density, I argue that the…

The breaking of flavor SU(3) symmetry in the axial couplings and magnetic moments of baryons is analyzed in the $1/N_c$ expansion. A simple meson loop graph which is known to be of order $\sqrt{m_s}$ and leading order in $1/N_c$ correctly…

Equilibration and equilibration rates have been measured by colliding Sn nuclei with different isospin asymmetries at beam energies of E/A=35 MeV. Using the yields of mirror nuclei of 7Li and 7Be, we have studied the diffusion of isospin…

Although SU(2) isospin symmetry is generally assumed in the basic theory of the strong interaction, a number of significant violations have been observed in scattering and bound states of nucleons. Many of these violations can be attributed…

In the recent years, fruitful results on charmed baryons are obtained by BESIII, Belle and LHCb. We investigate the two-body non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons in the flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry. Hundreds of amplitude relations are clearly…

A previously introduced relativistic energy density functional, successfully applied to ordinary nuclei, is extended to hypernuclei. The density-dependent mean field and the spin-orbit potential are consistently calculated for a $\Lambda$…

Recently the D{\O} Collaboration reported an observation of like-sign charge asymmetry (CA), which is about $3.2 \sigma$ deviation from the standard model (SM) prediction. Inspired by the observation we investigate the scalar unparticle…

Strong interactions preserve an approximate isospin symmetry between up ($u$) and down ($d$) quarks, part of the more general flavor symmetry. In the case of $K$ meson production, if this isospin symmetry were exact, it would result in…
