Spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD has traditionally been inferred indirectly through low-energy theorems and comparison with experiments. Thanks to the understanding of an unexpected connection between chiral Random Matrix…
This is a write-up of a two hour talk at the Simons workshop. It contains an elementary introduction to F-theory and may be useful for people new to the subject.
This write-up starts by introducing lattice chirality to people possessing a fairly modern mathematical background, but little prior knowledge about modern physics. I then proceed to present two new and speculative ideas.
This article is an attempt to a pedagogical introduction and review into the elementary concepts of chiral symmetry in nuclear physics. Effective chiral models such as the linear and nonlinear sigma model will be discussed as well as the…
This is an informal and approximate transcription of a talk presented at the DESY workshop, September 27--29, 1995. The basic message is that real and long overdue progress is taking place on the problem of regulating non--perturbatively…
Based on an effective chiral theory the 10 coefficients of ChPT are predicted. There is no new parameter. The current quark masses, m_{\eta}, f_{K}, and f_{\eta} are determined too.

These lectures describe the use of effective field theories to extrapolate results from the parameter region where numerical simulations of lattice QCD are possible to the physical parameters (physical quark masses, infinite volume,…

We present a formulation of chiral gauge theories, which admits more general spectra of Dirac operators and reveals considerably more possibilities for the structure of the chiral projections. Our two forms of correlation functions both…
The status of chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector is reviewed. The main emphasis is on recent developments in pion pion scattering, in semileptonic decays and in nonleptonic kaon decays. A few other selected topics are also…
I briefly review the current status of chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector. Emphasis is given on the quest for higher precision. I discuss two examples: one where it is difficult to make a good prediction (K_L -> pi^0 gamma…
Perturbation theory can be reformulated as dynamical theory. Then a sequence of perturbative approximations is bijective to a trajectory of dynamical system with discrete time, called the approximation cascade. Here we concentrate our…
We discuss $\pi\pi$ scattering in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. In particular, we recall the predictions made some time ago for the threshold parameters and for the phase shift difference $\delta_0^0-\delta_1^1$.
The method, proposed in the given work, allows the application of well developed standard methods used in quantum mechanics for approximate solution of the systems of ordinary linear differential equations with periodical coefficients.
