The canonical seesaw models are one of the simplest and most natural scenarios that can account simultaneously for neutrino masses and matter-antimatter asymmetry in our universe. Below the seesaw scale, one can integrate out the heavy…
We evaluate the pseudoscalar-meson octet-baryon coupling constants and the corresponding axial charges in eight channels ($\pi N\N$, $\pi\Sigma\Sigma$, $\pi\Lambda\Sigma$, $K\Lambda N$, $K \Sigma N $, $\pi\Xi\Xi$, $K\Lambda\Xi$ and…
We consider the low energy effective action of QCD below the chiral symmetry breaking scale, including, in Wilson's spirit, all operators of dimensionality less or equal to 6 which can be built with quark and chiral fields. The effect of…
In this work, we construct the chiral Lagrangian for a light spin-1 boson $X$ possessing both vectorial and axial couplings to the light Standard Model quarks $u, d, s$. We then use it in order to describe the tree-level, model-independent…
We propose a method to improve lattice operators composed of Wilson fermions which allows the removal of all corrections of $O(a)$, including those proportional to the quark mass, leaving only errors of $O(a^2)$. The method exploits the…
We study Schr\"odinger invariant field theories (nonrelativistic conformal field theories) in the large charge (particle number) sector. We do so by constructing the effective field theory (EFT) for a Goldstone boson of the associated…
By applying chiral-perturbation-theory methods to the QCD sector of the Lorentz-violating Standard-Model Extension, we investigate Lorentz violation in the strong interactions. In particular, we consider the CPT-even pure-gluon operator of…
The low-energy effective field theory below the electroweak scale (LEFT) describes the effects at low energies of both the weak interaction and physics beyond the Standard Model. We study the one-loop renormalization of the LEFT in the 't…
In this talk I summarize our recent works on the chiral symmetry restoration in the large flavor QCD using the hidden local symmetry (HLS) as an effective field theory of QCD. Bare parameters in the HLS are determined by matching the HLS…

We perform an analysis of QCD lattice data on masses of charmed meson with J^P = 0^- and J^P =1^- quantum numbers. The quark-mass dependence of the data set is used to gain information on the size of counter terms in the chiral Lagrangian…
The extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM) is an effective hadronic model based on the linear realization of chiral symmetry $SU(N_f)_L \times SU(N_f)_R$, with (pseudo)scalar and (axial-)vector mesons as degrees of freedom. In this paper, we…
The heavy singlet field is integrated out from the U_L(3) x U_R(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory and it is shown how its effects on the low-energy dynamics are reduced to effective vertices for the light mesons. The results are matched against…
