The masses of the charmed baryons in the ${\bf 6}$ representation of $SU(3)$ obey an equal spacing rule at lowest order in $SU(3)$ breaking, ${\cal O}(m_s)$. We compute the corrections to this relation at order ${\cal O}(m_s^{3/2})$ arising…

I review recent lattice results in kaon physics, particularly in the determination of V_{us} and the B_K parameter of K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing. I use lattice data to argue for the need of developing SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R chiral perturbation…
For purposes of regularization as well as numerical simulation, the discretization of Lorentz invariant continuum field theories on a space-time lattice is often convenient. In general, this discretization destroys the rotational or…

We construct the chiral Lagrangians relevant in studies of the ground-state octet baryon masses up to $\mathcal{O}(a^2)$ by taking into account discretization effects and calculate the masses up to $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$ in the…
We develop quenched chiral perturbation theory for vector mesons made of light quarks, in the limit where the vector meson masses are much larger than the pion mass. We use this theory to extract the leading nonanalytic dependence of the…

It is shown that a chiral SU(2) model can break Lorentz symmetry spontaneously at the Lagrangian level when gauge bosons become massive. This model seems to propose the principles and conceptual foundations leading to a unified picture of…

We perform the leading one-loop renormalization of the chiral Lagrangian for spinless matter fields living in the fundamental representation of SU(N). The Lagrangian can also be applied to any theory with a spontaneous symmetry breaking of…
We show that, the lattice regularization of chiral gauge theories proposed by Kaplan, when applied to a (2+1)-dimensional domain wall, produces a (1+1)-dimensional theory at low energy even if gauge anomaly produced by chiral fermions does…
