The superallowed Gamow-Teller transition in the doubly-magic-shell nucleus $^{100}$Sn and the high resolution spectral shape analysis in the fourth-forbidden nonunique transition in $^{115}$In indicate as much as $\sim 40\%$ {\it…
How the axial coupling constant $g_A$ in nuclear Gamow-Teller transitions described in shell model gets "quenched" to a universal constant close to 1 can be explained by nuclear correlations in Fermi-liquid fixed point theory using a…
An ``unorthodox" idea is developed that the long-standing mystery in nuclear physics of the effective axial-current coupling constant in nuclei, $g_A^{\rm eff}\approx 1$, could be interpreted in terms of an emerging hidden scale symmetry in…
We present the argument that "pseudo-conformal" symmetry permeates from low density near nuclear matter to high density in the core of massive neutron stars. As a support of this argument, we describe how the quenched $g_A\approx 1$ in…
A recent RIKEN experiment on the quenched $g_A$ in the superallowed Gamow-Telller transition from $^{100}$Sn indicates a role of scale anomaly encoded in the anomalous dimension $\beta^\prime$ of the gluonic stress tensor ${\rm Tr \…

The long-standing puzzle of the quenched $g_A$ in nuclei -- and in dense matter -- is shown to have a simple resolution in a scale-symmetric HLS chiral Lagrangian at the Fermi-liquid fixed point. This resolution exposes scale-chiral…
How to disentangle the possible {\it genuine} quenching of $g_A$ caused by scale anomaly of QCD parameterized by the scale-symmetry-breaking quenching factor $q_{ssb}$ from nuclear correlation effects is described. This is done by matching…
When scale symmetry is combined with chiral symmetry in a scale-chiral Lagrangian, it can be shown in Fermi-liquid fixed point theory that $g_A^{\rm eff}\approx 1$ in finite nuclei {\it as well as} in dense baryonic matter. This is…
I discuss how the axial current coupling constant $g_A$ renormalized in scale symmetric chiral EFT defined at a chiral matching scale impacts on the axial current matrix elements on beta decays in nuclei with and without neutrinos. The…
