A model of the rho-meson as a collective excitation of $q\bar{q}$ pairs in a system that obeys the modified Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian is proposed. The rho emerges as a dormant Goldstone boson. The origin of the rho-meson mass is…
We extend the Kroll-Lee-Zumino model in its particle content to include the charged rho vector mesons and the neutral pion meson. This entailed using the larger SU(2) gauge group. The masses for the vector mesons were generated via…

In effective field theories, the concept of renormalization of perturbative divergences is replaced by renormalization group concepts such as relevance and universality. Universality is related to cutoff scheme independence in…
In string theory the coupling ``constants'' appearing in the low-energy effective Lagrangian are determined by the vacuum expectation values of some (a priori) massless scalar fields (dilaton, moduli). This naturally leads one to expect a…
The couplings $g_{\rho HH}$ of the $\rho$ meson with any hadron H are calculated in a holographic dual of QCD where the Regge trajectories for mesons are manifest. The resulting couplings grow linearly with the exciting number of H, thus…
The universality of radiative corrections to the gauge coupling constant $k$ of Chern-Simons theory is studied in a very general regularization scheme. We show that the effective coupling constant $k$ induced by radiative corrections…
