We consider the functional inverse of the Gamma function in the complex plane, where it is multi-valued, and define a set of suitable branches by proposing a natural extension from the real case.
In this talk I summarize a recently proposed mechanism to understand pi pi scattering to 1 GeV. The model is motivated by the 1/Nc expansion to QCD, and includes a current algebra contact term and resonant pole exchanges. Chiral symmetry…
This study presents a tree-level calculation of the scattering amplitude for the $lp\to lp\gamma$ (with a hard photon) process within the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. Our calculations, based on the $O(p^2)$ and $O(p^3)$…
The radiative $\phi\to\pi^0\eta\gamma$ decay is discussed emphasizing the effects of the $a_0$(980) scalar resonance which dominates the high values of the $\pi^0\eta$ invariant mass spectrum. In its lowest part, the proposed amplitude…
A compact graph rule for the effective action $\Gamma[\phi]$ of a local composite operator is given in this paper. This long-standing problem of obtaining $\Gamma[\phi]$ in this case is solved directly without using the auxiliary field. The…
A discrete analog of the holomorphic map $z^{\gamma}$ is studied. It is given by Schramm's circle pattern with the combinatorics of the square grid. It is shown that the corresponding circle patterns are embedded and described by special…
I describe the methodology for the use of dispersion relations in connection with chiral perturbation theory. The conditions for matching the two formalisms are given at $O(E^2)$ and $O(E^4)$. The two have several complementary features, as…
We present exact non-perturbative solutions to chiral gauge theories based on the $E_6$ gauge group and several matter fermions in the fundamental $\bf{27}$-dimensional representation. They are obtained when supersymmetric versions are…
The form factors of the $K^+ \to \gamma$ transition are studied in the light-front quark model and chiral perturbation theory of $O(p^6)$. The decay spectrum of $K^+ \to e^+ \nu_{e}\gamma$, dominated by the structure dependent contribution,…
We propose a formalism to extract the $\gamma\pi\to\pi\pi$ chiral anomaly $F_{3\pi}$ from calculations in lattice QCD performed at larger-than-physical pion masses. To this end, we start from a dispersive representation of the…
We evaluate the amplitude for $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \pi^0 \pi^0$ to two loops in chiral perturbation theory. The three new counterterms which enter at this order in the low-energy expansion are estimated with resonance saturation. We…
A new one-dimensional model is proposed for the low-energy vibrational quantum dynamics of CH5+ based on the motion of an effective particle confined to a 60-vertex graph ${\Gamma}_{60}$ with a single edge length parameter. Within this…
Let X be a smooth complex affine curve, and let R be the space of right ideal classes in the ring D of differential operators on X. We introduce and study a fibration \gamma : R \to Pic(X). We relate this fibration to the corresponding one…
We review cohomology theories corresponding to the chiral and classical operads. The first one is the cohomology theory of vertex algebras, while the second one is the classical cohomology of Poisson vertex algebras (PVA), and we construct…
An exact expression for the mass-gap, the ratio of the physical particle mass to the $\Lambda$-parameter, is found for the principal chiral sigma models associated to all the classical Lie algebras. The calculation is based on a comparison…
We consider the problem of prescribing the $Q_{\ gamma}$ curvature on $\mathbb{S}^n$. Using a perturbation method, we obtain existence results for curvatures close to a positive constant.
We report on recent results on the decay of the phi into pi^+ pi^- and phi radiative decays into pi^0 pi^0 gamma and pi^0 eta gamma, which require the consideration of the final state interaction of a pair of mesons in a region inaccessible…
In matrix theory the effective action for graviton-graviton scattering is a double expansion in the relative velocity and inverse separation. We discuss the systematics of this expansion and subject matrix theory to a new test. Low energy…
In this letter, the 6-vertex model on dynamical random lattices is defined via a matrix model and rewritten (following I. Kostov) as a deformation of the O(2) model. In the large N planar limit, an exact solution is found at criticality.…
We construct a spectral sequence that converges to the cohomology of the chiral de Rham complex over a Calabi-Yau hypersurface and whose first term is a vertex algebra closely related to the Landau-Ginburg orbifold. As an application, we…
