We present the first calculation of the momentum-transfer dependence of the pion gravitational form factors (GFFs) within a top-down holographic QCD framework. These form factors encode essential information about the internal stress…
We propose a scale-invariant chiral perturbation theory of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons of the chiral symmetry (pion "pi") as well as the scale symmetry (dilaton "phi") for the large N_f QCD. The resultant dilaton mass M_phi reads…
We calculate the stress tensor, or energy-momentum tensor, form factors of the pion and of axial vector mesons in the chiral limit of a hard wall AdS/CFT model of QCD. One (of the two) pion gravitational form factors is directly related to…
We examine the possibility that the recently discovered 125 GeV higgs like resonance actually corresponds to a dilaton: the Goldstone boson of scale invariance spontaneously broken at a scale f. Comparing to LHC data we find that a dilaton…
A new estimate of the mass of the pseudo dilaton is offered by following the funda- mental nature that a massless Nambu-Goldstone boson, called a dilaton, in the Einstein frame acquires a nonzero mass through the loop effects which occur…
Conformal invariance is spontaneously broken in many physical systems leading to the appearance of a single massless Goldstone mode in the spectrum, the dilaton. The dilaton soft limit is shown to generically encode the action of both the…
We analyze the recent MIT lattice data for the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of the pion which extend up to $Q^2= 2~{\rm GeV}^2$ for $m_\pi=170$~MeV~\cite{Hackett:2023nkr}. We show that simple monopole fits comply with the old idea of…
The gravitational form factors (GFFs) of pions are calculated from a top-down holographic quantum chromodynamics (QCD) approach with momentum transfer dependence for the first time. It is important because the GFFs of hadrons have…
Spontaneous scale invariance breaking and the associated Goldstone boson, the dilaton, is investigated in renormalizable, unitary, interacting non-supersymmetric scalar field theories in $4-\varepsilon$ dimensions. At leading order it is…
We compute the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of the pion and kaon using their light-front wave functions within the Basis Light-Front Quantization framework. The wave functions are obtained by solving a light-front effective Hamiltonian…
The gravitational form factors of pions, kaons and the nucleons are investigated by employing modern dispersive techniques and chiral perturbation theory. We determine the gravitational form factors of pions and kaons, extending our…
The ``dilaton'', the Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken conformal field theories (in flat spacetime), is argued to provide a surprisingly provocative scalar analog of gravity. Many precise parallels and contrasts are drawn. In…
From recent analysis of the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude, it has been claimed that there exists a broad and light $\sigma$ meson. However, if this meson really exists, it must also appear in other observables such as the pion scalar form…
We analyze the hard scattering amplitude of gravitational form factors (GFFs) of hadrons within QCD factorization at large momentum transfers, focusing on their conformal field theory (CFT) description. These form factors are key to…
We study the soft behavior of two seemingly different particles that are both referred to as dilatons in the literature, namely the one that appears in theories of gravity and in string theory and the Nambu-Goldstone boson of spontaneously…
Lattice QCD can provide a direct determination of meson electromagnetic form factors, making predictions for upcoming experiments at Jefferson Lab. The form factors are a reflection of the bound-state nature of the meson and so these…
The characteristic feature of the spontaneous symmetry breaking is the presence of the Goldstone mode(s). For the conformal symmetry broken spontaneously the corresponding Goldstone boson is the dilaton. Coupling an arbitrary system to the…
Clarifying the origin of hadron mass is one of the fundamental problems in particle physics, relevant from hadronic scales to astrophysical observations. At low energies, this issue is reflected in the decomposition of the hadron mass into…
The electromagnetic and gravitational form factors of the nucleon are studied simultaneously using a covariant quark-diquark approach, and the pion cloud effect on the form factors is explicitly discussed. In this study, the electromagnetic…
We present lattice results for the form factors relevant in the K -> pion and D -> pion semileptonic decays, obtained from simulations with two flavors of dynamical twisted-mass fermions and pion masses as light as 260 MeV. For K -> pion…
