We complete the construction of the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string field theory begun in hep-th/0406212 by giving a closed-form expression for the action and gauge transformations. Just as the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) action for…
Chiral perturbation theory can be defined and regularized on a spacetime lattice. A few motivations are discussed here, and an explicit lattice Lagrangian is reviewed. A particular aspect of the connection between lattice chiral…
We present a gauge invariant action for a superstring in the plane wave background with Ramond-Ramond (RR) five-form flux. The Wess-Zumino term is given explicitly in a bilinear form of the left invariant currents by introducing a fermionic…
Canonical quantization of the Wess-Zumino (WZ) model including chiral interaction with gauge field is considered for the case of a degenerate action. The two-dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills model and the four-dimensional SU(3) chiral gauge…
The critical dynamics of the chiral symmetry breaking induced by gauge interaction is examined in the Wilson renormalization group framework in comparison with the Schwinger-Dyson approach. We derive the beta functions for the four-fermi…
The QCD-motivated constituent string model is extended to consider the baryon. The system of three quarks propagating in the confining background field is studied in the Wilson loop approach, and the effective action is obtained. The…
In this talk I concentrate on the role of chiral symmetry realisation by spin-1 fields in the low energy QCD effective lagrangian. I assume that chiral symmetry is nonlinearly realised and that spin-1 fields transform homogeneously under…
We derive the effective action for classical strings coupled to dilatonic, gravitational, and axionic fields. We show how to use this effective action for: (i) renormalizing the string tension, (ii) linking ultraviolet divergences to the…
We study baryons in an AdS/CFT model of QCD by Sakai and Sugimoto, realized as small instantons with fundamental string hairs. We introduce an effective field theory of the baryons in the five-dimensional setting, and show that the…
We discuss, in conformally invariant field theories such as QCD with massless fermions, a possible link between the perturbative signature of the conformal anomaly, in the form of anomaly poles of the 1-particle irreducible effective…
A nonperturbative approach to QCD describing confinement and chiral symmetry breaking is discussed. It is based on the path integral representation of Green's function of quarks and leads to the QCD string theory. The effective actions for…
Restoration of chiral and $U(1)_A$ symmetries in excited hadrons is reviewed. A connection of these restorations with the semiclassical regime in highly excited hadron is discussed. A solvable confining field-theoretical toy model that…
We derive the dimensional non-perturbative part of the QCD effective action for scalar and pseudoscalar meson fields by means of chiral and conformal bosonization. The related structural coupling constants L_5 and L_8 of the chiral…
We attempt to describe the interplay of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD by using the string model. We argue that in the quasi-abelian picture of confinement based on the condensation of magnetic monopoles and the dual…
We show how the usual chiral perturbation theory description of phenomenological pion physics admits an interpretation as a low-energy string-like model associated with QCD. By naive and straightforward generalization within the context of…
We propose a method to derive the low-energy efective action of QCD assuming that the long-distance properties of strong interactions can be described by a string theory. We bypass the usual problems related to the existence of the tachyon…
The anomalous action of the chiral effective theory to $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$ is investigated by generalizing the consideration in \cite{ma02} with including the wave function part in the general quark propagator. It is found that the QCD…
The background for string propagation is obtained by a chiral gauging of the $SL(2,R)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model. It is shown explicitly that the resulting background fields satisfy the field equations of the three dimensional string…
Chiral perturbation lagrangian in the framework of non-commutative geometry is considered in full detail. It is found that the explicit symmetry breaking terms appear and some relations between the coupling constants of the theory come out…
We address the question of the Lorentz nature of the effective interquark interaction in QCD which leads to the formation of the QCD string between colour charges. In particular, we start from a manifestly vectorial fundamental interaction…
