The recent BaBar measurements of the $\gamma\gamma^{*}\to \pi^{0}$ form factor show spectacular deviation from perturbative QCD computations for large space-like $Q^{2}$. At $34\,\rm GeV^{2}$ the data are more than 50% larger than…
The low-lying energy excitations of 2-flavour QCD in the chiral limit confined to a small spatial box ($\delta$-regime) are that of an $O(4)$ rotator. In this work, we calculate the corrections due to the presence of a nonzero quark mass up…
We extend the QCD sum rule analysis of the \gamma^*\gamma^* -->\pi^o form factor into the region where one of the photons has small virtuality: q^2 << Q^2 > 1 GeV^2. In this kinematics, one should perform an additional factorization of…
The next-to-leading order chiral pion-nucleon Lagrangian contains seven finite low-energy constants. Two can be fixed from the nucleon anomalous magnetic moments and another one from the quark mass contribution to the neutron-proton mass…
We present a study of chiral behavior of light meson form factors in QCD with three flavors of overlap quarks. Gauge ensembles are generated at single lattice spacing 0.12 fm with pion masses down to 300 MeV. The pion and kaon…
We present two-loop calculations on the axial-vector form factors $F_A$ of semileptonic radiative kaon and pion decays in chiral perturbation theory. The relevant dimension-6 terms of the lagrangian are evaluated from the resonance…

Results are reviewed, which provide relations between the response (and eventual instability) of the chiral QCD vacuum to an increase of the number of massless quarks in the theory and the observed violations of the large $N_c$ expansion in…
We construct the vector and axial vector currents in Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory (WChPT), the low-energy effective theory for lattice QCD with Wilson fermions. Our construction is slightly different compared to ChPT in continuum QCD,…
We calculate the form factors of the $K \to \pi l \nu$ semileptonic decays in three-flavor lattice QCD, and study their chiral behavior as a function of the momentum transfer and the Nambu-Goldstone boson masses. Chiral symmetry is exactly…
The radiatively induced Lorentz and CPT violating Chern-Simons terms in QED is calculated based on the recently developed loop regularization method [Y.L. Wu, Int.J.Mod.Phys.A18 (2003) 5363, hep-th/0209021; Y.L. Wu, Mod.Phys.Lett.A19 (2004)…
We develop an effective field theory of QCD and QCD-like theories, based on the hidden local symmetry (HLS) model. We formulate the chiral perturbation theory with loops of rho as well as pi and further include quadratic divergences which…

We show that in the presence of massive particles such as nucleons, the standard low energy expansion in powers of meson momenta and light quark masses in general only converges in part of the low energy region. The expansion of the scalar…
