The dependence of the nucleon mass on the mass of the pion is studied in the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model. A remarkable agreement is observed with lattice data from recent full dynamical simulations. The possibility and…
We investigate the quark mass dependence of the nucleon mass M_N. An interpolation of this observable, between a selected set of fully dynamical two-flavor lattice QCD data and its physical value, is studied using relativistic baryon chiral…
We present a dispersion relation in the pion-mass squared, which static quantities (nucleon mass, magnetic moment, etc.) obey under the assumption of analyticity in the entire complex $m_\pi^2$ plane modulo a cut at negative $m_\pi^2$…
We present a light-front determination of the pionic contribution to the nucleon self-energy, $\Sigma_\pi$, to second-order in pion-baryon coupling constants that allows the pion-nucleon vertex function to be treated in a model-independent…
We study the mass of a nucleon in a nucleus using a model recently introduced for a nucleon current with a pion cloud component. The method of QCD sum rules is used to determine the mass shifts for nucleons to first order in nuclear density…
Recent results on pion physics from lattice QCD are reviewed. We discuss quark mass dependences of pion mass and decay constant and compare them with the predictions from chiral perturbation theory. In particular we focus on the convergence…
We calculate the quark mass dependence of both isovector and isoscalar anomalous magnetic moments of the nucleon in a chiral effective field theory with explicit pion, nucleon and Delta(1232) degrees of freedom to leading-one-loop order. In…
We investigate the pion-mass dependence of the nucleon mass within the covariant SU(2) baryon chiral perturbation theory up to order p4 with and without explicit Delta(1232) degrees of freedom. We fit lattice QCD data from several…
We present numerical evidence that suggests the introduction of a non-zero pion mass might dramatically affect the structure of minimal energy Skyrmions. It appears that the shell-like Skyrmions which are the minima when the pions are…
We study the density dependence of the decay $\pi^0\to \gamma \gamma$ using the Skyrme Lagrangian to describe simultaneously both the matter background and mesonic fluctuations. Pion properties such as mass and decay constant are modified…
We explore the chiral aspects of extrapolation of observables calculated within lattice QCD, using the nucleon magnetic moments as an example. Our analysis shows that the biggest effects of chiral dynamics occur for quark masses…
The pion-mass dependence of the nucleon mass within the covariant SU(2) baryon chiral perturbation theory both without and with explicit Delta(1232) degrees of freedom up to order p^4 is investigated. By fitting to lattice QCD data in 2 and…
We extend an effective Lagrangian embodying broken scale and chiral symmetry to include explicit chiral symmetry breaking and an additional chiral invariant term which allows for an axial coupling constant greater than unity. We also…
We compute the neutral pion mass dependence on a magnetic field in the weak field approximation at one-loop order. The calculation is carried out within the linear sigma model coupled to quarks and using Schwinger's proper-time…
Lattice QCD simulations have made significant progress in the calculation of nucleon electromagnetic form factors in the chiral regime in recent years. With simulation results achieving pion masses of order ~180 MeV, there is an apparent…
We calculate the neutral pion mass in the presence of an external magnetic field of arbitrary strength in the framework of the linear sigma model coupled to quarks at zero temperature. We find nonmonotonic behavior of the pion mass as a…
The dense baryonic matter and hadron properties in medium were simulated by using a Skyrme model including the ground state vector mesons introduced from the hidden local symmetry approach up to the next to leading order. We found that both…
The pattern of chiral symmetry breaking is exploited to compute vector and axial-vector pion matrix elements in a uniform magnetic field. Our results are model independent, and thereby constitute low-energy theorems that must be obeyed by…
The central two-pion exchange NN potential at large distances is studied in the framework of relativistic chiral symmetry and related directly to the nucleon scalar form factor, which describes the mass density of its pion cloud. This…
A scalar field, $\eta({\bf r})$, is coupled to the skyrmion. Its classical value in the vacuum ("condensate") reduces to the pion decay constant, $f_{\pi}$, being thus proportional to the chiral condensate $<\bar{q} q>$. A quadratic…
