The Chiral Quark-Soliton Model of nucleons is based on two ideas: 1) the major role of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in hadron physics and 2) the relevance of the large number of colours limit for the real world. In these lectures I…
The Chiral Quark-Soliton model provides the quark and antiquark substructure of the nucleon, which is embedded in nuclear matter. This provides a new way to asses the effects of the nuclear medium on the nucleon. We calculate nuclear…

Generalizing quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from three to arbitrarily many color degrees of freedom suggests that baryons can be described as solitons in an effective meson theory whose interaction strength decreases with the number of…
We demonstrate that the polaron theory from solid state physics can serve as an interesting analogue model for non-perturbative QCD, at least in the description of nucleons and related low-energy physics of strong interactions. By drawing…
