Using the example of the elastic $\pi N$-amplitude, we discuss the low energy expansion of QCD amplitudes in the sector with baryon number one. We show that the chiral expansion of these amplitudes breaks down in certain regions of phase…
We derive a method to calculate the multi-channel K matrix applicable to a broad class of models in which mesons linearly couple to the quark core. The method is used to calculate pion scattering amplitudes in the energy region of low-lying…
In this article we study impact of the lightest vector and scalar resonance multiplets in the pion and kaon decay constants up to next-to-leading order in the $1/N_C$ expansion, i.e., up to the one-loop level. The $F_\pi$ and $F_K$…
Basic features of nonstrange vector and axial vector mesons are analyzed in the framework of a chiral quark model that includes nonlocal four fermion couplings. Unknown model parameters are determined from some input values of masses and…

We discuss the truncation of low energy effective action of QCD below the chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) scale, including all operators of dimensionality less or equal to 6 which can be built with quark and chiral fields. We perform its…
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…
We construct pi-pi amplitudes that fulfill exact elastic unitarity, account for one loop Chiral Perturbation Theory contributions and include all 1/Nc leading terms, with the only limitation of considering just the lowest-lying nonet of…
The main elements and methods of chiral perturbation theory, the effective field theory of the Standard Model below the scale of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, are summarized. Applications to the interactions of mesons and baryons at…
Chiral effective theory has become a powerful tool for studying the low-energy properties of QCD. In this work, we apply an extended chiral effective theory -- chiral-scale effective theory -- including a dilatonic scalar meson to study…
We study the mass, width and couplings of the lightest resonance multiplet with I(J^{PC})=1(1^{--}) quantum numbers. Effective field theories based on chiral symmetry are employed in order to describe the form factor associated with the…
Based on an effective chiral theory of pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons, the coefficients of the chiral perturbation theory are predicted. There is no new parameter in these predictions.
The delta-regime of QCD is characterised by light quarks in a small spatial box, but a large extent in (Euclidean) time. In this setting a specific variant of chiral perturbation theory - the delta-expansion - applies, based on a quantum…
The vector meson mass is extracted from a large sample of partially quenched, two-flavor lattice QCD simulations. For the first time, discretisation, finite-volume and partial quenching artefacts are treated in a unified framework which is…
The ladder-rainbow truncation of the set of Dyson-Schwinger equations is used to study light mesons. The parameters in the effective interaction are constrained by the chiral condensate and f_\pi; the current quark masses are fitted to…
We report on our recent work about the description of a meson gas below the chiral phase transition within the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. As an alternative to the standard treatment, we present a calculation of the quark…

We propose a chiral quark model including the $\omega$ and $\rho$ meson contributions in addition to the $\pi$ and $\sigma$ meson contributions. We show that the masses of the ground state baryons such as the nucleon, $\Lambda_c$ and…
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…
The most general structure of an elastic partial wave amplitude when the unphysical cuts are neglected is deduced in terms of the N/D method. This result is then matched to lowest order, ${\mathcal{O}}(p^2)$, Chiral Perturbation…
