The main aspects of chiral symmetry in QCD are presented. The necessity of its spontaneous breakdown is explained. Some low-energy theorems are reviewed. The role of chiral effective Lagrangians in the formulation and realization of chiral…
For large values of the Higgs mass the low energy structure of the gauged linear sigma model in the spontaneously broken phase can adequately be described by an effective field theory. We present a manifestly gauge-invariant functional…
It is possible that at low temperatures and large density there exists a confining matter with restored chiral symmetry, just after the dense nuclear matter with broken chiral symmetry. Such a phase has sofar been studied within a confining…

Conformal perturbation theory is a powerful tool to describe the behavior of statistical-mechanics models and quantum field theories in the vicinity of a critical point. In the past few years, it has been extensively used to describe…
Chiral symmetry represents a fundamental concept lying at the core of particle and nuclear physics. Its spontaneous breaking in vacuum can be exploited to distinguish chiral hadronic partners, whose masses differ. In fact, the features of…
A new phase of dense QCD proposed in the limit of large number of colors, Quarkyonic Phase, is discussed in chiral approaches. The interplay between chiral symmetry breaking and confinement together with the $N_c$ dependence of the phase…
Pure spinor formalism and non-integrable exponential factors are used for constructing the conformal-invariant wave equation and Lagrangian density for massive fermion. It is proved that canonical Dirac Lagrangian for massive fermion is…
We argue that consistency of the combined heavy quark and chiral effective lagrangian requires the QCD scale which multiplies $1/M$ in the heavy quark expansion to be the chiral symmetry breaking scale, $\Lambda_{CSB}$, rather than the QCD…
The effective theory based on combined chiral and heavy quark symmetry, the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory, is applied to studying the role of resonances in various processes of heavy mesons within and beyond the Standard Model.…
Chiral symmetry serves as a guiding principle in low-energy hadron dynamics. An effective lagrangian, which explicitly breaks chiral symmetry via a small mass term, allows for a systematic method of calculating higher order corrections to…
We show how conformal invariance predicts the functional form of two-point correlators in one-dimensional periodic quantum systems. Numerical evidence for this functional form in a wide class of models --- including long-ranged ones --- is…
We reinterpret Landau-Migdal Fermi-liquid theory of nuclear matter as an effective chiral field theory with a Fermi surface. The effective field theory is formulated in terms of a chiral Lagrangian with its {\it mass and coupling…
The finite temperature chiral condensate for 2+1 quark flavors is considered in the framework of the hadron resonance gas model. This requires some dynamical information, for which two models are employed: one based on the quark structure…
We study effective models of chiral fields and Polyakov loop expected to describe the dynamics responsible for the phase structure of two-flavor QCD at finite temperature and density. We consider chiral sector described either using linear…
Assuming the spin-independence for confining force, we give a covariant quark representation of general composite meson systems with definite Lorentz transformation properties. For benefit of this representation we are able to deduce…
Inhomogeneous chiral-symmetry breaking phases at non-vanishing chemical potential and temperature are studied within a two-flavor quark-meson model in the chiral limit. The analysis is performed beyond the standard mean-field approximation…
Expressions for the Wick contractions contributing to the scalar pion form-factor were computed model-independently in chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order. The results reveal correlations amongst the different contractions…
We study the dynamics of the chiral phase transition in a linear quark-meson $\sigma$ model using a novel approach based on semiclassical wave-particle duality. The quarks are treated as test particles in a Monte-Carlo simulation of elastic…
We derive a $\Lambda \Lambda$ potential from a chiral constituent quark model that has been successful in describing one, two and three nonstrange baryon systems. The resulting interaction at low energy is attractive at all distances due to…
