We study momentum distributions and short-range correlation probabilities in $A$=2 and $A$=3 systems. First, we show results with phenomenological and meson-theoretic two- and three-nucleon forces to verify consistency with previous similar…

With the goal of developing predictive ab-initio capability for light and medium-mass nuclei, two-nucleon and three-nucleon forces from chiral effective field theory are optimized simultaneously to low-energy nucleon-nucleon scattering…

I will review recent progress in our understanding of the nuclear force. In the course of the 1990's, so-called high-precision, charge-dependent nucleon-nucleon potentials have been constructed which are, essentially, phenomenological…

The application of the chiral effective theory to processes with two or more nucleons is discussed. We gain a qualitative understanding of the gross features of nuclear physics and quantitative, testable postdictions and predictions…

The pheomenological Generalized Coherent State Model Hamiltonian is amended with a many body term describing a set of nucleons moving in a shell model mean-field and interacting among themselves with paring, as well as with a particle-core…

Electromagnetic transition probabilities have been measured for the intra- and inter-band transitions in the two sequences in the nucleus ^{135}Nd that were previously identified as a composite chiral pair of rotational bands. The…

Recent experiments and many-body calculations indicate that approximately 20\% of the nucleons in medium and heavy nuclei ($A\geq12$) are part of short-range correlated (SRC) primarily neutron-proton ($np$) pairs. We find that using chiral…

For two decades it was believed that chiral symmetries cannot be realized in lattice field theory but this has changed now. Highlights of these new developments will be presented with emphasis on the mathematical structure of the so called…

We discuss phases of hot and dense hadronic matter using chiral Lagrangians. A two-flavored parity doublet model constrained by the nuclear matter ground state predicts chiral symmetry restoration. The model thermodynamics is shown within…

I discuss some recent developments in chiral effective field theory for few-nucleon systems.

New sources of parity and time reversal violation are predicted by well motivated extensions of the Standard Model and can be effectively probed by precision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules. Chiral molecules have distinguished…

We investigate single-particle properties in infinite nuclear matter using a variety of interactions. One of the focal points is to study the impact of chiral three-nucleon forces on the nucleon self-energy and related quantities, such as…

Some of the difficulties arising when one tries to understand confinement as well as dynamical and anomalous chiral symmetry breaking are reviewed. Criteria to be fulfilled by a successful and complete picture of these phenomena are…

It has been long recognized that the spatial polarization of the electronic clouds in molecules, and the spatial arrangements of atoms into chiral molecular structures, play crucial roles in physics, chemistry and biology. However, these…

The contribution of many-body effects to the nuclear anapole moment were studied earlier in [1]. Here, more accurate calculation of the many-body contributions is presented, which goes beyond the constant density approximation for them used…

The nature of the chiral phase transition of QCD continues to represent a fundamental open problem in the study of strongly interacting matter. In recent years, significant progress has been achieved by exploiting systematic variations of…

The organizers of this meeting have asked me to present perspectives of nuclear physics. This means to identify the areas where nuclear physics will be expanding in the next future. In six chapters a short overview of these areas will be…

Living organisms exhibit consistent homochirality. It is argued that the specific, binary choice made is not an accident but is a consequence of parity violation in the weak interaction expressed by cosmic irradiation. The secondary muons…

The constraints imposed by chiral symmetry on hadron correlation functions in nuclear medium are discussed. It is shown that these constraints implies the certain structure of the in-medium hadron correlators and lead to the cancellation of…

Four-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories have families of protected correlation functions that possess the structure of two-dimensional chiral algebras. In this paper, we explore the chiral algebras that arise in this manner in…
