A model field theory, in which the interaction between quarks is mediated by dressed vector boson exchange, is used to analyse the pionic sector of QCD. It is shown that this model, which incorporates dynamical chiral symmetry breaking,…

Partial decay widths of the heavy-light mesons, $D, D_s, B,$ and $B_s$, emitting one chiral particle ($\pi$ or $K$) are evaluated in the framework of a relativistic potential model. Decay amplitudes are calculated by keeping the Lorentz…
We study a chiral quark model of $\pi$, $\sigma$, $\rho$, and $a_1$ mesons in the large-$N_c$ limit. We show that the quadratic $a_1-\pi$ mixing can be set to zero at zero momentum, thus protecting the $g_{\sigma\pi\pi}$ and…

The results of analyses obtained in Part I are examined from the viewpoint of chiral symmetry. The mass spectra of pi pi system are widely believed to be suppressed generally near the threshold, because of the derivative coupling property…
New results on baryon structure and spectrum developed in collaboration with Dan Riska [1-4] are reported. The main idea is that beyond the chiral symmetry spontaneous breaking scale light and strange baryons should be considered as systems…
After a brief summary of the QCD phase structure with light quarks, we discuss two recent developments on in-medium hadrons. First topic is the sigma-meson which is a fluctuation of the chiral order parameter \bar{q}q. Although sigma is at…
The phase variation of the sigma -> pi-pi amplitude is accurately determined as a function of mass from BES II data for J/Psi -> omega-pi-pi. The determination arises from interference with the strong b1(1235)-pi amplitude. The observed…
An approximate rotational symmetry of a heavy-light meson is viewed from a string picture. Using a simple string configuration, we derive a formula, $(M-m_c)^2=\pi\sigma L$, whose coefficient of the r.h.s. is just 1/2 of that of a light…
