We present an accurate nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential based upon chiral effective Lagrangians. The model includes one- and two-pion exchange contributions up to chiral order three and contact terms (which represent the short range force) up…

We study effective field theories (EFT) of nuclear structure based on spontaneously broken global $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ chiral symmetry of QCD with two massless quarks, i.e. $SU(2)\chi PT$. For ground-state nuclei, this EFT enables…
We study the nucleon and three N* resonances' properties in an effective linear realization chiral SU_L(2) x SU_R(2) and U_A(1) symmetric Lagrangian. We place the nucleon fields into the so-called "naive" (1/2,0) + (0, 1/2) and "mirror" (0,…

In fundamental theories that accounts for quantum gravitational effects, the spacetime causal structure is expected to be quantum uncertain. Previous studies of quantum causal structure focused on finite-dimensional systems. Here we present…
