Interactions of $a_2, K^*_2, f_2$ and $f_2'$ tensor-mesons with low-energy $\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$ pseudo-scalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a chiral Lagrangian of tensor mesons in which the tensor mesons are treated…
We investigate the extent of the critical scaling region of the chiral phase transition at finite chemical potential within the quark-meson (QM) model using the functional renormalization group (fRG) approach. By analyzing the scaling…
The chiral Lagrangian for Goldstone boson scattering is a power series expansion in numbers of derivatives. Each successive term is suppressed by powers of a scale, $\Lambda_\chi$, which must be less than of order $4\pi f/\sqrt{N}$ where…
We construct the most general chirally-invariant Lagrangian for mesons in the presence of external sources coupled to the tensor current \bar{\psi}\sigma_{\mu\nu}\psi. In order to have only even terms in the chiral expansion, we consider…

We investigate the rare radiative eta decay modes $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma\gamma$ and $\eta\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ within the framework of chiral perturbation theory at $O(p^4)$. We present photon spectra and partial decay rates for both…
We perform a non-perturbative calculation of the $J/\Psi-\pi$ cross section using a $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ effective Lagrangian. Our results differ from those of previous calculations, specially in the description of vertices involving pions.
Two-point functions related to the pion weak decay constant f_\pi are calculated from the generating functional of chiral perturbation theory in the mean-field approximation and the heavy-baryon limit. The aim is to demonstrate that Lorentz…
We study the contributions of the CP violating anomalous WW-gamma interactions to b->s l^+ l^-. We obtain cutoff independent results on tilde kappa and tilde lambda, by constructing an asymmetry for the process B->K^*l^+l^-, where the B and…
Within an extended chiral constituent quark formalism, we investigate contributions from all possible five-quark components in the octet baryons to the pion-baryon ($\sigma_{\pi B}$) and strangeness-baryon ($\sigma_{s B}$) sigma terms; $B…
We consider a theory with gauge group $G \times U(1)_A$ containing: i) an abelian factor for which the chiral matter content of the theory is anomalous $\sum_{f} q^f_A \neq 0 \neq \sum_{f} (q^f_A)^3$ ; ii) a nonanomalous factor $G$. In…
We have derived the quark mass dependence of $m_{\pi}^2$, $m_{\rm AWI}$ and $f_{\pi}$, using the chiral perturbation theory which includes the $a^2$ effect associated with the explicit chiral symmetry breaking of the Wilson-type fermions,…
We study the reactions $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow \pi^0\pi^0$, $\pi^+\pi^-$, $K^0\bar{K}^0$, $K^+K^-$, $\eta \eta$ and $\pi^0\eta$ based on a chiral Lagrangian with dynamical light vector mesons as formulated within the hadrogenesis…
The near-threshold n p -> d pi0 cross section is calculated in chiral perturbation theory to next-to-leading order in the expansion parameter sqrt{M m_pi}/Lambda_chi. At this order irreducible pion loops contribute to the relevant…
We first construct the effective chiral Lagrangians for the $1^{-+}$ exotic mesons. With the infrared regularization scheme, we derive the one-loop infrared singular chiral corrections to the $\pi_1(1600)$ mass explicitly. We investigate…
We use a nonperturbative approach which combines coupled channel Lippmann Schwinger equations with meson-meson potentials provided by the lowest order chiral Lagrangians. By means of one parameter, a cut off in the momentum of the loop…
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…
The gamma(*) pi(0) -> gamma form factor is obtained within the Lagrangian quark model with separable interaction known to provide a good description of the pion observables at low energies. The pion-quarks vertex is chosen in a Gaussian…
We apply the formalism of Chiral Perturbation Theory out of thermal equilibrium to describe explosive production of pions via the parametric resonance mechanism. To lowest order the lagrangian is that of the Nonlinear Sigma Model where the…
Recently, Grabowska and Kaplan constructed a four-dimensional lattice formulation of chiral gauge theories on the basis of the chiral overlap operator. At least in the tree-level approximation, the left-handed fermion is coupled only to the…
