We study the two-pion exchange potential at next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory. We propose a new cut-off scheme for the pion loop integrals based on spectral function regularization. We show that this method…
We calculate the $T$-matrices of elastic pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) scattering up to fourth order in SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. The pertinent low-energy constants are determined by fitting to $\pi N$ phase shifts below 200…
Chiral perturbation theory is the effective field theory of the standard model. In this talk, I discuss some applications of this framework to the pion--nucleon system. These are chiral corrections to the S--wave pion--nucleon scattering…
We investigate three classes of supersymmetric models which can be obtained by breaking the chiral SU(2k+3) gauge theories with one antisymmetric tensor and 2k-1 antifundamentals. For N=3, the chiral SU(2k)$\times$SU(3)$\times$U(1) theories…
A $1/\N$ expansion of the chiral Lagrangian for baryons is formulated and used to study the low-energy dynamics of baryons interacting with the pion nonet $\pi$, $K$, $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ in a combined expansion in chiral symmetry…
We systematically study quantum effect on chiral and $U_A(1)$ symmetry breaking under external electromagnetic fields in the frame of equal-time Wigner function formalism. We derive the transport and constraint equations for the quark…
We analyze the chiral symmetry breaking of QCD in the Coulomb gauge. Using flow equations, we derive the renormalized gap equation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation and show that they are finite in both UV and IR regions. No additional UV…
We first note the peculiar property of the pion as the pseudoscalar particle, which play the essential role in realizing the basic properties of the nuclear matter such as the density/energy saturations. Then, we introduce the notion of…
In the previous work, we have shown that the SU(2) chiral symmetry recovered above the critical temperature gives a strong constraint on the Dirac eigenvalue spectrum and this constraint is strong enough for a set of anomalous U(1) chiral…
We show how to incorporate chiral symmetry breaking in the soft-wall version of the AdS/QCD model by using a modified dilaton profile and a quartic term in the bulk scalar potential. This allows one to separate the dependence on spontaneous…
Chiral symmetry breaking in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in a constant magnetic field is studied in spacetimes of dimension D > 4. It is shown that a constant magnetic field can be characterized by [(D-1)/2] parameters. For the maximal…
We report new results for lattice gauge theories with twelve fermion flavors in the fundamental representation and two fermion flavors in the two-index symmetric (sextet) representation of the SU(3) color gauge group. Both models are…
We augment the chiral Lagrangian by an isosinglet scalar and compute the one-loop radiative corrections to the pion mass and decay constant, as well as the scalar mass. The calculations are carried out for different patterns of chiral…
We have performed global fits of $f_{\pi}$ and $m_{\pi}$, from a variety of RBC-UKQCD domain wall fermion ensembles, to $SU(2)$ partially quenched chiral perturbation theory at NNLO. We report values for 9 NLO and 8 linearly independent…
The mechanism of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is studied in the Abelian version of the gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in four dimensions. The most interesting feature of the gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is the appearance of…
A recently proposed set of sum rules, based on the pion-Kaon scattering amplitudes and their crossing-symmetric conjugates are analysed in detail. A key role is played by the $l=0$ $\pi\pi\to K\overline K$ amplitude which requires an…
An alternative pattern of the chiral symmetry breaking, suggested recently by Stern, is investigated. It could be self-consistent provided that the chiral $SU(N_f) \times SU(N_f)$ symmetry is broken spontaneously down to $SU(N_f) \times…
We examine the vacuum overlap formula for the two-dimensional SU(2) Wess-Zumino term in lattice regularization. Perturbatively it reproduces the Wess-Zumino term correctly in the continuum limit and yields the IR fixed point in the beta…
Chiral symmetry breaking may exhibit significantly different patterns in two chiral limits: N_f=2 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0, m_s physical) and N_f=3 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0=m_s=0). Such a difference may arise due to vacuum…
The chiral expansion of nucleon properties such as mass, magnetic moment, and magnetic polarizability are investigated in the framework of chiral perturbation theory, with and without the heavy-baryon expansion. The analysis makes use of a…
