We consider the non-commutative generalization of the chiral perturbation theory. The resultant coupling constants are severely restricted by the model and in good agreement with the data. When applied to the Skyrme model, our scheme…

The SU(3) breaking effects due to light quark masses on heavy meson masses, decay constants ($F_{D}, F_{D_{s}}$) and the form factor for semileptonic $\overline{B}\rightarrow D^{(\ast)} l\bar{\nu}_{l}$ transitions are formulated in chiral…
We extend chiral perturbation theory to include linear dependence on the lattice spacing $a$ for the Wilson action. The perturbation theory is written as a double expansion in the small quark mass $m_q$ and lattice spacing $a$. We present…

The (light but not-so-light) strange quark may play a special role in the low-energy dynamics of QCD. The presence of strange quark pairs in the sea may have a significant impact of the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking : in particular…

To reduce errors in light-quark mass determinations, it is now necessary to consider electromagnetic contributions to light-meson masses. Calculations using staggered quarks and quenched photons are currently underway. Suitably-extended…

We consider the relation between the breakdown scale of chiral perturbation theory, $\Lambda_\chi$, for large values of $N$ (flavor), and the scale associated with ``new" physical thresholds. This question is addressed using both the linear…
