A method is presented which makes considerably more transparent possible patterns behind low-energy scattering data. In particular, structures associated with resonances, such as locations, widths and heights, become visible with a naked…
Chiral quark models offer a practical and simple tool to describe covariantly both low and high energy phenomenology in combination with QCD evolution. This can be done in full harmony with chiral symmetry and electromagnetic gauge…
Instead of the Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation we only require generalized chiral symmetry and show that this results in a larger class of Dirac operators describing massless fermions, which in addition to GW fermions and to the ones proposed…
We set up a general framework to describe $\pi\pi$ scattering below 1 GeV based on chiral low-energy expansion with possible spin-0 and 1 resonances. Partial wave amplitudes are obtained with the $N/D$ method, which satisfy unitarity,…
We analyze $\pi\pi-K\bar{K}$ and $\pi\eta-K\bar{K}$ couple channel [1,1] matrix Pad\'e amplitudes of $SU(3)\times SU(3)$ chiral perturbation theory. By fitting phase shift and inelasticity data, we determine pole positions in different…
A one parameter generalization of Ward's chiral model in 2+1 dimensions is given. Like the original model the present one is integrable and possesses a positive-definite and conserved energy and $y$-momentum. The details of the scattering…
An exposition is made of recent developments using techniques of unitary chiral perturbation theory, $U \chi P T$, which allows one to extend predictions using chiral Lagrangians to higher energies than ordinary chiral perturbation theory,…
The extension of chiral theories to the description of resonances, via the incorporation of unitarity in coupled channels, has provided us with a new theoretical perspective on the nature of some of the observed excited hadrons. In this…
Within the chiral lagrangian formalism it is possible to describe the general strongly coupled Symmetry Breaking Sector in terms of a few parameters. Based on a dispersive approach we have studied the resonance spectrum up to 3 TeV in the…
A field-enlarging transformation in the chiral electrodynamics is performed. This introduces an additional gauge symmetry to the model that is unitary and anomaly-free and allows for comparison of different models discussed in the…
I shall recall a number of solutions to the Schwinger model in different gauges, having different boundary conditions and using different quantization surfaces. I shall discuss various properties of these solutions emphasizing the degrees…
We review chiral symmetry breaking at the BCS level, in the framework of chiral invariant quark models and in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism. We revisit the pi mass problem beyond the BCS level. We show a theorem on the masses, on the widths…
An explicitly covariant formalism for dealing with Bargmann-Wigner fields is developed. An invariance of the Barmann-Wigner norm can be proved in a unified way for both massive and massless fields. It is shown that there exists some freedom…
In this work we interpret the Einstein-Hilbert (EH) Lagrangian of gravitation as the first term of a low-energy effective theory similar to those considered in the chiral Lagrangian approach to low-energy hadron physics or the electroweak…
The statistics of chiral matrix ensembles with uncorrelated but multivariate Gaussian distributed elements is intuitively expected to be driven by many parameters. Contrary to intuition, however, our theoretical analysis reveals the…
A recently proposed variational mass expansion approach to dynamical chiral symmetry breakdown is reviewed. We briefly explain how a specific integral ansatz over the analytically continued, arbitrary Lagrangian mass parameter, resums the…
The helicity or chirality of scattered light is strongly linked to the dual symmetry of the scatterer. The latter depends on chiral materials or on scatterers which are not superimposable with their mirror image. This inherently yields…
We derive a simple formula for the width of a multi-channel resonance state. To this end, we use a deformed square-well potential and solve the coupled-channels equations. We obtain the $S$-matrix in the Breit-Wigner form, from which…
A review on the requirements of chiral symmetry on effective quark models is presented. The connection between the pion Salpeter amplitude and the mass gap equation is discussed. Hadronic scattering, notably, $\pi\pi$ scattering is…
Firstly, bilinear Fourier Restriction estimates --which are well-known for free waves-- are extended to adapted spaces of functions of bounded quadratic variation, under quantitative assumptions on the phase functions. This has applications…
