Chiral quark model with a broken-U(3) flavor symmetry can be interpreted as the effective theory of the instanton-dominated non-perturbative QCD. This naturally suggests the possibility of a negative singlet/octet coupling ratio, which has…
We introduce the \emph{flavoured lattice Schwinger model}, a $(1{+}1)$-dimensional $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory in which the fermion doubling problem is resolved by staggering a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ flavour degree of freedom rather than…
There are several different experimental indications, such as the strangeness contribution to the magnetic moment of the proton, sigma_{\pi N} term, strange spin polarization, ratio of strange and non strange quark flavor distributions…
Discrete flavor symmetry is often introduced for explaining quark/lepton masses and mixings. However, its spontaneous breaking leads to the appearance of domain walls, which is problematic for cosmology. We consider a possibility that the…
We review the chiral spin symmetry, which is a symmetry of the color charge and of the confining electric part of QCD. Observation of this symmetry in the vacuum upon truncation of the near-zero modes of the Dirac operator implies that the…
In this paper, it is pointed out for the first time that the linear effective potential between quarks is intrinsically relating to the bag model while concerning the asymptotically-free nature of colours. Based on the relationship we…
We investigate the strangeness in the framework of chiral models, such as the Skyrmion, MIT bag, chiral bag and superqualiton models, with SU(3) flavor group structure. We review the recent progresses in both the theoretical paradigm and…
In light of the recent result published by the Fermilab Muon $(g-2)$ experiment, we investigate a simple model that includes particles of fractional electric charges: a colour-singlet fermion and a scalar with charges $2/3e$ and $1/3e$,…
Phase diagram of the chiral random matrix model with U(1)A breaking term is studied with the quark chemical potentials varied independently at zero temperature, by taking the chiral and meson condensates as the order parameters. Although,…
The chiral anomaly is based on a non-conserved chiral charge and can happen in Dirac fermion systems under the influence of external electromagnetic fields. In this case, the spectral flow leads to a transfer of right- to left-moving…
Violation of the $U(1)$ axial symmetry in QCD is stricter than the chiral $SU(2)$ breaking, simply because of the presence of the quantum axial anomaly. If the QCD gauge coupling is sent to zero, the strength of the $U(1)$ axial breaking…
It is well known that because of the axial anomaly in QCD, mesons with $J^P = 0^-$ are close to $SU(3)_{\mathrm{V}}$ eigenstates: the $eta^\prime(958)$ meson is largely a singlet, and the $\eta$ meson an octet. In contrast, states with $J^P…
The object of this brief review is to reconcile different points of view on how the spin of proton is made up from its constituents. On the basis of naive quark model with flavour symmetry such as isospin or SU(3) one finds a static…
The chiral quark model with a broken U(3) symmetry gives a simple and unified account for the proton spin and flavor puzzles, as well as the octet baryon magnetic moments.
We explore phase structures and hadron mass spectra in cold and dense two-color QCD with $2+2$ flavors where the sign problem disappears. We particularly focus on $U(1)$ axial anomaly effects. We employ an $N_f=2+2$ linear sigma model based…
Following the first clear evidence of the presence of intrinsic charm contribution in the proton, the axial-vector charges of the light and charmed baryons are investigated in the framework of $SU(4)$ chiral constituent quark model after…
Chiral anomaly is a key feature of Lorentz-invariant quantum field theories: in presence of parallel external electric and magnetic fields, the number of massless Weyl fermions of a given chirality is not conserved. In condensed matter,…
