The transversity Generalized Parton Distributions (tGPDs) and related transversity form factors of the pion are evaluated in chiral quark models, both local (Nambu--Jona-Lasinio) and nonlocal, involving a momentum-dependent quark mass. The…
QCD sum rules for the magnetic moments of $\Delta^{++}$ and $\Omega^-$ are derived using the external field method. They are analyzed by a Monte-Carlo based procedure, using realistic estimates of the QCD input parameters. The results are…
Nucleon magnetic moments display a rich nonanalytic dependence on the quark mass in both quenched and full QCD. They provide a forum for a detailed examination of the connection between quenched and full QCD made possible through the…

Baryons of lower spin in partially quenched large-$N_c$ QCD are studied with particular emphasis to interpolation between standard unquenched and fully quenched limits. In large $N_c$ limit of partially quenched QCD, we calculate $\Delta…
We use the chiral quark-soliton model to identify all symmetry breaking terms linear in $m_{s}$ and investigate the strange magnetic moment in a ``model-independent'' way. Assuming hedgehog symmetry and employing the collective…
Correlators of the octet baryons in the hot pion gas are studied in the framework of the QCD sum rule. The condensates appearing in the OPE side of the correlators become T-dependent through the interaction with thermal pions. We present an…
Scale factor matrices relating mesonic fields in chiral Lagrangians and quark-level operators of QCD sum-rules are shown to be constrained by chiral symmetry, resulting in universal scale factors for each chiral nonet. Built upon this…
We study the critical properties of net-baryon-number fluctuations at the chiral restoration transition in a medium at finite temperature and net baryon density. The chiral dynamics of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is modeled by the…
We consider the chiral Lagrangian for charmed baryon fields with $J^P =\frac{1}{2}^+$ or $J^P =\frac{3}{2}^+$ quantum numbers. A chiral expansion framework for the baryon ground state masses is worked out to N$^3$LO as to compute their…
In the low energy domain, Chiral Perturbation Theory parametrizes the small chiral symmetry breaking effects, produced by the quark masses $m_u$, $m_d$ and $m_s$, in terms of order parameters of massless QCD. The latter can then, in…
Motivated by the recent work on the calculation of the $\pi NN$ coupling constant using QCD sum rule beyond the chiral limit, we construct the corresponding sum rules for the couplings, $\eta NN$, $\pi \Xi\Xi$, $\eta \Xi\Xi$, $\pi \Sigma…

In a recent paper Yang and Kim discuss the lowest baryon mass formulas using a chiral soliton model. However, contrary to their assertion, their result is not equivalent to a generalized Gell Mann-Okubo mass formula derived (G.Morpurgo…
We study the $\Delta I = 1/2$ rule for kaon decays and the $B_K$ parameter for $K^0 - {\bar K}^0$ mixing in a dual 5-dimensional holographic QCD model. We perform, in the chiral limit, computations of the relevant four-point current-current…
